    "content": "Madam Temporary Speaker, I know we are new to the House and on a learning curve, but I want to correct Sen. Cherarkey. We have reached out; I mean most of us the nominated Senators including myself. We have reached out to Chairs of Delegation. I have even written it in our Senate platforms. We have requested that in the event that they are very busy perhaps dealing with matters of constituency offices which as nominated Senators we do not have; they should delegate their vote. To that effect, none of the elected Senators have written a letter to the office of the Speaker to give that authority to their Delegation Members to vote in their absence. As a matter of fact, only one elected Senator gave the letter and retracted it within the same week. While we are sitting and trying to get quorum to move the business of the House, it is very difficult for some of us. We have no powers, no authority. Sen. Cherarkey you are, therefore, out of order when you say that we do not know the line of choice. We have followed the processes as it should be, but the frustration is that the elected Senators have refused to delegate their voting rights."
