Amo, ti taiguenao enao. Governador hao, lau guaha lai ni sina gineddi hau. Guaha chiña esti i masusesede pa’gu. NO ONE IS ABOVE THE LAW. NO ONE IS BELOW THE LAW. If there is a special election law that is applicable to your situation, then let’s cure the situation. Call the special election. Why is there a delay? How does the Writ of Mandamus sound? And the CQ? Hagu i et mas tadkilo na magas mame, lau en primet lugat, hagu finenana ti para un osgi i LAI ni finatinasta. Seguro yu na guaha man nae fadso na abiso. Tagu i Election Commission na uma prepara i balotu. Dos ha na taotao para u ma bota gi Special Election. Hagu yan si Honorable Hocog. Taya otro. Hafa minapotña enau? I TITULO TI DIBATDE. Kau ma yulang i telefon? Guaha Cellphone? Hafa i ditension? The midnight swearing-in is not valid. You were already the acting governor per the constitution beginning the moment Inos left the Commonwealth. When he died overseas, why did your friends and confederates make you take the oath of office again without the benefit of a special election to make you the full-powered governor? The rationale behind it? Was there a deal? Because a second swearing-in doesn’t “hold water.” The election should have preceded the second swearing-in. And that second swearing-in should have been for the Office of the Governor, and the Office of the Lieutenant Governor. The second swearing-in on top of the first swearing-in is like you are acting as the acting governor. The first swearing in was when you were elected lieutenant governor. That was all you need. You don’t need a second swearing-in. You automatically became the acting governor whenever the elected governor leaves the Commonwealth, until his return. What you need is to be elected. You don’t need another swearing-in. When Inos died in California, the special election mechanism should have swung into motion. Whose bad idea was the “second swearing-in and foregoing the special election?” And, acting governor Torres, how long have you been sitting as acting governor without being elected? Almost six months? The late Eloy Inos only served 11 months of his four-year term of office. That calls for a special election. Call it, so you can be elected bona fide, full-powered governor, fair and square, until the next gubernatorial election? Sen bonito yangin ti abmamam yan pagu, u mana guaha special election. So, cut the comedy of errors and let’s open up the Special Election polling places and summon the voters
