How could it be before?

I still say we need Timmy in there...LOL

Yes, before the nominating. They wouldn't draw nominee names until they knew they needed to. If KH was staying, there's no need.

When the term limit is up, the voters hold a vote for the sitting GS. If he garners 2/3 vote, he remains GS. If he does not get the 2/3 vote, then a nomination ballot is determined.

then the those nominated are voted on.

Just seems to be a better way- but who AM I????...j/k

I declare I know

Makes you wonder if the ones who were fuming over Mooney's withdrawl we're the declared ones.

Brethren, just in case you were going to nominate me, I don't wish for the position,

there is no way that gentleman would have done, that,

I'm sure that all of this stuff is hashed out beforehand. There's no way that this all pops up as a surprise. Phone calls are made, emails fly.... everyone knows what's in the air.

A sitting GS is given the chance to remain first with a simple yes or no vote. If no, meaning less than 2/3, the nominees are voted for.
