Item XIII passed with 30 in favor, two abstaining.

Item XIV This item serves as an option to the Senatores to write in any existing Governor by name for proroguement who either:

[Note of Tribunus Plebis: three former propraetores in particular were considered for write-in by some of the Senatores. Those Senatores who wrote in one of the names are indicated below.]

For Quintus Fabius Maximus as proconsul in California

• QFM
• CFD
• TGP
• DIPI: A long serving and faithful governor
• TLF
• CMA
• MMA
• GPL
• LSA
• QSP
• ATC
• FVG

With 13 write-in votes, Q. Fabius Maximus was not prorogued.

Additional comments: although the question was only whether to write in a name or not, some Senatores elected to voice their opposition to Proconsul Q. Fabius Maximus being prorogued. Other Senatores chose to voice their support.

• FAC: ANTIQVO California need a new active governor
• ECF: Antiquo.
• CCS: ANTIQUO
• CFBQ: ANTIQUO.

• QFM: Roman tradition allows me to vote for myself. I am dismayed

at the people who wrote in my name in order to be sure that they could vote “no” against me. I have never seen such vindictiveness in my life. I only once voted no on a prorogument, and that was because the person had made damaging remarks about Nova Roma in public while holding the Praetorship. When it comes to running the Republic, I put my personal animosities aside. Apparently these individuals are unable to do so. And that is unfortunate.

• LMS: As far as I know, there is a Consular Edictvm saying the

deadline is February 15th. Therefore, any comunication done after that date is out of the law. Due to this argument, both Fabia Livia and Fabius Maximus wouldn't be prorogued. But there is a difference between them two. Fabia Livia has sent messages with great concern and respect and as far as I know she is doing a good job in Britannia. On the other hand, I don't see the same concern and respect for the Senators and Cives from Fabius Maximus. Being a Propraetor means to respect both the power who appoints you (Senate) and the cives you are going to manage. And that gravitas is something I don't find in Fabius Maximus, but in Fabia Livia.

• TOPA: ANTIQUO

• ATC: There has been some statements made questioning the

worthiness of this honorable gentleman for this position. However, having learned a bit over the years about his life and responsibilities in the Macro World as well as his responsiblities in Nova Roma, I respect him, and will support him.
