Diversion!

Executive Order #8 was issued by Manny, with Oren's approval. There's a bunch of whereases, but the order is:

So ordered: The following appointments be made immediately; Oren Gabriel as acting President, Vishal Gupta as acting Executive Vice President, Joyce Liou as acting Academic Affairs Vice President, and Jason Chu as acting External Affairs Vice President to carry on the daily business of the ASUC only, and for no other purpose, until the elections results are certified in the proper manner.

Be it further ordered: That Executive Orders #7, #1, and #2 are hereby rescinded and declared null and void and of no legal consequence.

I'm not sure this really solves the problem. He's still appointing his party members, who, according to standing Judicial Council rulings, will not be the victors, and they'll still have the opportunity to entrench themselves. We'll see how willing they are to stick to "carrying on the daily business." Still, at least it's a step in the right direction, and looks less like a child throwing a temper tantrum.

Gah, my head hurts!

This is actually a brilliant move. It lets him do the same thing (illegally install SA) but cuts 80% of the tumult and attention his order generated.

Thanks to the Daily Cal's weak coverage of it as an event, no one outside of the Blogosphere will even remember his illegal order by the end of the week.

In other news, Jimmy Carter just issues an executive order installing himself as President.

(Shows how much credence they give their own EO's. Wasn't Manny supposed to quit with EO 7 and Oren had already assumed the role of President by issuing 2 EO's himself. This looks less corrupt, but only if people ignore who appointed the new Attourney General. Banana Republic right here at home.)

To resolve the current dual presidency crisis, I hereby declare myself the Anti-Pope.

Buenrostro folded because the Auxiliary refused to recognize his unconstitutional order. He just makes it sound like he's generously offering a solution to the conflict in the Constitution, when in fact no conflict ever existed. Why thank you Manuel!
