But will we only ever have one? I recall us having 2 at various points....
This^^^^ I remember vaguely the existence of two Vice Delegates.
I definitely do, having been one 🤣 alongside Zyonn
Hmm, not sure I remember having two. /s :P

Allowing only one VD was a deliberate policy choice by the Assembly. While we may revisit it, my opinion is that it was absolutely the correct choice. Please see this post and subsequent posts. In essence, as an endorsee position, there is close to no utility to having more than one VD, but the risk increases.

I have to say I agree with Guy here, it was the Assembly’s idea at the time to only allow one VD, not to say that I would oppose two, I’m just saying that was the intended result.

Article 6: The Vice-Delegate
A: The Vice-Delegate is tasked with maintaining a high endorsement level for regional security purposes.
B: The Citizenship Council may unanimously appoint a Vice-Delegate in case of a vacancy in the office. The appointment is subject to a confirmation vote in the Assembly, which requires a two-thirds majority vote.
C: Any citizen may initiate a petition calling for the removal of a the Vice-Delegate. Once the petition is signed by five citizens, a vote must be held in the Assembly to remove the Vice-Delegate. Removal requires a simple majority vote.
D: The Delegate must not encourage the endorsement of any nation other than themselves and the Vice-Delegate.
Let’s just get this to vote, then. This look fine to everyone?

Looks fine to me, but I will wait to see whether there are further contributions.

Just a minor grammar fix? I suppose I’m fine with that
