Brutus you have completed your term. Please come home and allow another to prove himself.

**Caesar Rex** · March 15, 2008, 10:07 AM

Brutus you have completed your term. Please come home and allow another to prove himself.

ooc: He is addressing the senate so he is home!

**Winter** · March 15, 2008, 10:09 AM

ooc: I mean stay home, or something. It was a typo!

**Kritias** · March 15, 2008, 10:43 AM

OOC: It's not unconstitutional Caesar; anyone can have a max of two terms in a row, I'm going for the second. I did not ask for immediate appointment, it was kinda of a political campaign declaration for the coming elections.

**Winter** · March 15, 2008, 10:45 AM

No there's no constitutional limit this time.

**Caesar Rex** · March 15, 2008, 11:02 AM

Then at least a moral limit. We all know the mos maiorum says once every 10 years.

"Senators, this isn't the case of one man vying for more and more power, even if some would picture me as such. I want to run for Consul because there's more I want to do for Rome; and I have done so little. I do not wish for extra powers, I do wish to abide the will of the Senate. I wish to make Rome worthy of Rome; isn't this a worthy cause?

Maybe I cannot sway you from thinking that I might grab more power; I can only pledge, by my sacred oath that I have no ill intentions. I love the Republic. All I ask is your confidence in me -- I can do great things for Rome; but you must give the that chance..."

Consul you have had your chance! It is over now! Let another have his, it is the right thing to do!

**The10thLegion** · March 15, 2008, 11:44 AM

i think he should wait one term, then he should run again. Give him some rest, let another man come in and he can come back fresh and ready. Just like the 2nd legion

"Senators, while I appreciate your concern for my tiredness, I have decided to run for a second time. There's much more to be done, I'm afraid, much more to be done..." said a weary Brutus, sensing the hostility of the Senate. He was sure that re-running would provoke some negative thoughts but it seemed that all other parties were against his re-election, a sure sign of all senators grouping against the party Brutus served.

**Winter** · March 15, 2008, 01:35 PM

It seems the Consul has decided. He is of course allowed to run, so I suggest that we leave the debating for the election.

**We shall fwee...Wode** · March 15, 2008, 03:49 PM

My friends and foes, allies and opponents, I invite you all to my villa at 10 pm GMT, for a "discussion" on issues that have dogged us these last hours.

Please come.

**We shall fwee...Wode** · March 15, 2008, 04:16 PM

Scrap my earlier comments, the debate can begin now!

i beleive he has defended himself enough, debate on this shall stop if we should have order in the senate.
