"Outstanding" Senator of the Year

Tonight the ASUN Senate chose one of its own to be the winner of the Outstanding Senator of the Year award. Each year, the Senate chooses one of its own who has demonstrated dedication to the institution, was true to the values of representative government, and has been an overall excellent senator, to be bestowed this great honor. To be the elite of the elite.

Or, for this year, to be the person who sucked the least.

Or, to be the only person who showed any objective measure of success, being that he got elected to higher office (which still means the person who sucked the least).

Senator Charlie Jose, who is also Vice President elect, was designated Senator of the Year tonight after several rounds of balloting. The final ballot was Jose 11, Geremia 5, and Richards 1. Four other senators were eliminated in prior rounds. Interestingly, prior to the final round of balloting, Jose sought to withdraw his name from consideration, but the Senate refused. Sergott, Ian McMenemy, and Purney were eliminated in prior rounds.

So, congratulations Senator Jose! You suck the least!

In other news, reading the ASUN Constitution is not a prerequisite for becoming a justice (link at 6:37; and here). It's not like the people who determine what the Constitution means should actually be vaguely familiar with it in advance or anything. So much for the Senate fully vetting candidates. Also, how do you take an oath to support a document that you haven't even read, much less understand sufficiently?
