One Week at a Time

Day 1,275, 14:07 Published in Canada Canada by Sperry


As many of you have already noticed, it is now impossible for the Kazuo Impeachment to pass. With only 34 members of Congress ingame, the impeachment requires 23 Yes-Votes in order for Kazuo to be removed from office. Already, this cannot happen, with 14 Congressmen (41😵 already voting against the proposal.

Canadians on both sides of the Impeachment line have been counting down a wide array of clocks on Kazuo's reign. Some, like Addy Lawrence, have vocally supported ousting Kazuo for his behaviour since taking office. This behaviour, indeed, has sparked high-energy discussions in both Congress and the Media. Kazuo himself has publicly admitted that he is regularly surprised to find himself still in the driver's seat. Whether you support the Leblanc Leadership or not, it's certainly come under fire over the last 2 weeks.


Serious Muppet is Serious.

So, what's Kazuo to do? After Rylde's first impeachment proposal over the DAL Incident, Kazuo's response was clear: he, too, can cause major ripples in the political pond of this country.

Congress didn't like this. With very few exceptions, Congress rejected the appointment of Etemenanki to Addy Lawrence's position as Director of the Treasury Board, despite Etemenanki being one of the most qualified people for the job. Indeed, as a member of EPIC, he isn't even a part of the partisanship that coloured the conversation.

With an increasingly agitated Congress and a promise from Rylde to repropose Impeachment, the second vote came to be. And so we find ourselves where we are now - Canada is divided by a controversial leader who for yet another week holds onto a power that many Canadians would rather he not have again in June.


Still here - until at least the 26th

The current Congress will not be able to vote on Kazuo again. Elections are being held next week, and the Impeachment Clock will not expire until just after the new Congress has taken office. Kazuo's government, along with its influence and infamy, will continue to oversee this country.

I do not know if the new session of Congress will put Kazuo to a vote again. That will depend, largely, on three factors:

1) Who the new Speaker of Congress is. Easily the least important factor since Chochi will still have transitory powers on the 26th, but with the DAL sliding from power and an opportunity for a new Speaker, there is no guarantee that Chochi would table this vote again before his term expires.

2) Which parties succeed on the 25th. While parties cannot force their members to vote one way or another, there is a blatant link between party memberships and political outlooks. That's life. Kazuo's ability to sleep soundly on the 26th will greatly depend on which parties do well, and more importantly, how well they do. An election that returns most of our current MPs to the Hill will almost certainly mean Kazuo will finish his term in full. Strong shifts toward the Lose-Leblanc camp would, obviously, draw that into question.

3) Most important to Kazuo's position is his own behaviour. The Acts which he has recently proposed to Congress, while still meeting strong opposition, are not nearly as politically charged as the original L'ecole Leblanc or the Addy Lawrence Fiasco. Despite the many causes for frustration, this much is clear: Kazuo continues to adjust his behaviours to respond to the other powers in Canada. The firm, resistant position ascribed to him by the Speaker no longer holds true.



Whether or not Kazuo will finish his term intact is hard to tell. But, at least for the moment, he can continue to take his Presidency a week at a time. Kazuo can rest somewhat comfortably knowing that at least some people have warmed to his position, if only a little.
