The bill description shall contain "Elections for the office of Président du Sénat / Candidates:". A period of time (4-6 months, or until all parties with seats have replied) shall then be allowed for nomination.

| Message | The PLD nominates François Charloit and Sebbie Claude. OOC: The Président(e) du Sénat must be a member of the Sénat and be elected from among his peers. Thus we should ask the floor to reject Jeanne Principe's candidature for 32e Sénat as she is not a member of the Sénat. |
| Date | 15:17:53, September 03, 2012 CET | From | Parti Nationaliste 🌞 | To | Debating the 32e Senat |
| Message | Yes, we know, PLD. Just in case if there will be no nominations besides the Leftist Union, all parties or the PN itself will propose an amendment that will declare the only nominated citizen who is not even a member of a Senat. Or maybe the PN may appoint anyone who can be President du Senat. Be it may, the President du Senat cannot vote in the decisions. Well, we have nominations from PLD, François Charloit and Sebbie Claude. For now, the chair rejects Jeanne Principe's candidature for 32e Sénat. |
