This act shall create the honorary position of Surgeon-Sergeant of the Senate, staffed by a physician accredited according to the Medical Validation Act of 1738 which serves at the discretion of the President Pro Tempore.

 

INTRODUCTION

 

The Senate has long soon numerous injuries, deaths, and mysterious disappearances from its senators in the short one and a half decades it has been established. In order to increase the standard of health amongst the serving chamberpersons and after the great tragedy of the Wright-Callahan duel of 1751, it is seen fit to appoint an honorary doctor to tend to the needs of the senators. This act takes its name from the doctors and former senators Sir Charles Napier KCM and Matthias Rutledge who saved the lives of the injured senators on that afternoon.

 

SECTION I:

Establishing the Position of the Surgeon-Sergeant

 

The honorary position of Surgeon-Sergeant is established as a position upon the Senate Staff, to serve at the health needs of the Senators of the chamber. The officeholder must be an accredited physician as per the Medical Validation Act of 1738.

 

The Surgeon-Sergeant is chosen and serves at the discretion of the President Pro Tempore.

 

The Surgeon-Sergeant is reserved a seat in the upper rafters of Varoche Hall for the cases of emergency, but may only enter the chamber when dire need arises.

 

Introduced by Senator Arthur Callahan on 3 O.F. 1751

 

Cosponsored by Senator Sir Terrence May GCM

 

Issued and proclaimed,

HIS IMPERIAL MAJESTY, Peter III Anthony, Holy Orenian Emperor, King of Curon, Renatus, Salvus, and Seventis, King-Elect of Kaedrin, Prince of Malinor, Protector of the Heartlanders, Highlanders, and Farfolk, etcetera.

"Yes, it is nice to see that both senators did not die from crossbow injuries." The old man Rutledge chuckles, knowing that if Curon would have fatally beaten Kaedrin, if Wright released the string on his bolt only moments before. He folded the missive, tucking it away as a Curonian victory.
