26 January 2002.

Austin, Texas.

To be honest, this is the first time Abel has been to the Capitol, the center of Texas.

Even if you count the previous Abel, his experience and memories are included.

Because of the original Abel, he, like most Texans, rarely came to Austin.

In fact, most of the visitors to the Texas State Capitol are outsiders from outside Texas.

Locals, except for Austinns, don't like Austin very much.

As for the Capitol itself, it is not only one of the most famous tourist attractions in Texas, but it is also the office of the Texas state.

Above the second floor of the Capitol building, there are offices such as the governor's office, the Texas National Guard General Staff, and various other departments in Texas.

The largest room on the first floor of the building is a conference hall that can accommodate 150 Texas state legislators.

The Texas State Assembly, like Congress, is divided into Senate. Discuss. Courtyard and congregation. Discuss. Hospital two.

Ginseng. Discuss. The number of members of the House is 50. Discuss. The number of members is 100.

It's different from the Vice-Commander of the Federation, who can only be a mascot.

The lieutenant governor of Texas also has a lot of powers, he is the governor's left arm and right-in-command, and he is the second-in-command of the state in the true sense.

With a lot of real rights, the lieutenant governor of Texas can't serve as a counselor like the lieutenant governor of the federal government. Discuss. Speaker of the House.

That is, the state legislature of Texas, each of which has a real speaker.

This is different from the federal government.

The large conference hall in the parliament building is also the most visited place for tourists.

Normally, many parts of the Texas State Capitol are open for free to outside visitors, whether they are Texans or not.

As long as you can pass through security and have a valid travel document, you will be able to enter and exit this famous Texas center and tourist attractions freely.

But in recent days, the Texas State Capitol has announced that it will be closed for 15 days.

The reason is that these days the Texas House of Representatives. Yes, something big happened.

Texas Congregation. Discuss. The state legislators in the House of Representatives, they have launched an impeachment petition.

Impeachment of the state public. Discuss. House Speaker Mark Jellincoln demanded that the Speaker step down.

Around 10 a.m.

Abel's mighty motorcade came to the periphery of the Texas State Capitol.

The convoy passed through a security check by the Texas National Guard and local police officers and drove into the Capitol.

At the entrance of a beautiful and magnificent mansion made of red granite.

Abel as he got out of his Cadillac monster car.

He had seen several people at the door of the parliament building, smiling at him.

With the same familiar hypocritical smile on Abel's face, he walked over to them.

"Oh...... Good morning, dear Mr. Smith. You're welcome. ”

The first few people at the door to speak and smile came to greet Abel was Rick Perry, the current governor of Texas and a former deputy of George Bush, who jumped from the Donkey Party to the Elephant Party.

Abel and Rick Perry met several times, all at the Bush family's banquet.

Abel walked over with a smile and shook hands with Rick Perry and hugged him.

"Good morning, Mr. Governor. And, of course, Mr. Speaker, Mr. Lieutenant Governor, hello. ”

After shaking hands with Rick Perry and hugging him, Able greeted the other two.

The other two, one is Texas ginseng. Discuss. House Speaker Page, one is Lieutenant Governor Johnson.

It's just one crowd away. Discuss. House Speaker Mark Jellinken, the Big Four of Texas are all in place.

Paige, like Jonson and Rick Perry, had known Abel for a long time, at a banquet hosted by the Bush family.

Today's shrub family has deep roots in Texas.

To say that they are the number one family in Texas may be a bit of a stretch.

But you want to do big things in Texas, or you want to make a difference in Texas.

No matter who comes in the place, it can be said that it is difficult to avoid the bush family.

Among the Big Four in Texas, Rick Perry is simply George's successor and a close associate of the Bush family.

Johnson and Page are also very close to the bush family.

There is only one Mark Jellinkn, who is an important figure in the other faction in Texas.

And now, Mark Jellin is under impeachment.

If his impeachment is successful, he will have to resign as speaker, and he may not even be able to keep his position as a state representative.

At that time, at least in the state capital.

In terms of influence on Texas, the bush family is arguably unmatched.

After shaking hands and hugging Rick Perry and others.

Rick Perry began to take Abel to the Texas State Capitol.

It is one of the largest and most beautiful Capitol buildings in the United States.

The entire Texas State Capitol, built entirely of red granite, gives the impression of grandeur.

At the top of the building, there is a statue of Lady Liberty that stands 14 feet high.

It was not originally available until 1987.

Walk into the main gate of the Houses of Parliament and there is a nice courtyard behind it.

Although it is winter, due to the warm climate in Austin, the lawn in the courtyard is still green, and the leaves are red and green.

Abel is not a tourist, and if he were, he would have been attracted by the many statues scattered throughout the courtyard.

They are symbolic and commemorative.

Among them, the elements of war can be seen everywhere, which shows the heaviness of Texas' history.

The local people in Texas are fierce, and they are also inseparable from these wars.

Along the way, several people kept chatting.

"Mark is unlikely to be spared this time."

As he walked, Mr. Governor bluntly said, "He made a big mistake this time." ”

Texas impeached today, state congregation. Discuss. House Speaker Mark Jaylinken.

He was impeached for abuse of power and obstruction of parliamentary investigations.

The former refers to Mark Jaylincoln, who accepted the support of many Mexicans as Speaker, opening the door to Mexicans smuggling into Texas.

The latter refers to Mark Jaylincoln, who was accused by members of the Council and called for the initiation of the inquiry.

Mark Jellin brussly stopped the investigation and did not allow the investigation to pass in parliament.

The congressman then used these two grounds to declare the state congregation. Discuss. Within the House, together with a number of members of the Parliament, an impeachment campaign was initiated against Speaker Mark Jellincoln.

According to Texas regulations, if the speaker is jointly impeached by more than 10 members during his term of office, the power of the speaker cannot be used during the impeachment period.

To be honest, Abel still doesn't understand what Rick Perry's "Mark made a big mistake" is.

The reason he's here today is the Texas Capitol.

It's because a few days ago, when the outside world learned that his body was fine.

Here in Texas, Davis Brown's men invited him to come to the Texas State Capitol today.

Abel only knew that it had something to do with his cooperation with Davis Brown, that is, with the Texas consortium.

It is also related to his father, Alexander Smith.

But he didn't know exactly what the law was until today.

These guys seem to want to surprise him.

Now listen to the opening remarks of Rick Perry.

In Abel's heart, he guessed something at this time.

He thought, if it really was what he thought.

Those guys are really willing to spend their money.

"Oh, then he really shouldn't. Texans, such a thing is not allowed. ”

Abel smiled and replied with a cure-all-trades answer.

Ginseng. Discuss. House Speaker Page smiled and said softly:

"It's more than that. Many of Mark's previous practices have made many people dissatisfied. The appearance of this impeachment is a long time ago. ”

"That's right." Lieutenant Governor Johnson also said with a smile.

Chatting and chatting, inside, everyone had already passed through the courtyard and entered the rotunda in the center.

The terrazzo floor on the first floor of the rotunda was built in 1936 to celebrate the centennial of the state of Texas.

In the center of the floor is a large seal surrounded by the seal of the Six Kingdoms.

The six countries are France, Spain, Mexico, the Republic of Texas, the United States of America and the United States of America.

Why are there these flags?

That's because these flags have flown on Texas soil.

Around the conference hall, there is a total of Texas. Portraits of the presidents of the Republic of China, as well as the governors of Texas, hang on each floor of the four-story circular hall open to the public.

In other words, there is not a single portrait of the President of the United States of America......

It can only be said that the Lone Star State was shown to be the number one rebel in the United States by the federal government, and it is definitely not a mess.

Because Texas is on its own, it really is flaunting itself as an independent country anytime and anywhere.

The United States is going to break up one day.

The first to stand up and put up the flag will definitely not be just California, which likes to shout.

And it has to be Texas.

Arriving at the Rotunda, Johnson and Page leave Abel and Rick Perry.

Led by Mr. Governor, Abel walked through a corridor to a high platform above the Capitol Chamber in Texas.

Beneath the high platform, 150 members of the Texas State Assembly have gathered their economies.

Looking at the scene below, Abel, who had already guessed a lot, smiled and said, "This is our Texas cooking!" ”

"Who's to say it isn't?" Rick Perry said with a smile: "The people elect the representatives, and the representatives represent the people. This is our dish cooking! ”

Impeachment proceedings in parliament have already begun below.

Abel has now basically guessed the reason why these people let themselves come here today.

He guessed in his heart.

The gang of the Texas consortium, they most likely want to push Alexander into the Texas State Assembly.

Guess a little bolder words.

These guys might even want to put their own father in their place, Mark Jellinken.

Otherwise, how could Davis Brown, on a day like this, come to the Texas State Capitol?

Amusement Abel, or demonstrate to him?

This may have been possible before.

But that's not possible anymore.

The richest man in the world, with huge wealth, is also an energy giant, a media giant, and a financial giant.

At the same time, he also married Abel Smith, who is currently married to the hottest Masaharu family in the United States.

In the recent attack, he temporarily took the commanding heights of American public opinion.

At this time, Abel wanted to target whoever he wanted, even if it was Rockphil or Morgun, he would be confused.

Davis Brown: There's no reason for them to mess around.

And they just let Abel come to this special place on a special day like today.

In addition to wanting to put Alexander on the throne, as one of the great gifts to Abel in this merger between the two sides.

Abel couldn't think of any other possibilities for the time being.

Because after a few days, the share exchange will be completed, and all the contracts that should be signed will be completed.

After that, everyone will be their own people in a sense.

At that time, Alexander was also their own man.

Putting Alexander on the throne at this time would be just as good for the Texas consortium.

With a lot of thoughts in his heart, Abel kept chatting with Rick Perry.

Chatting and chatting, the two sides even talked about Abel's father-in-law, Neil Bush.

'Neil has a very good talent. He was very close to the middle class. ”

Rick Perry said earnestly: "If he goes to be a businessman, the Americans will lose a good governor or even a good commander." ”

Look at Rick Perry's sincere look.

Abel didn't believe that the other party didn't know that if Neil Bush was to be corrected in Texas, he would be the one who would suffer the most.

Abel thought to himself, that is, my father-in-law has gone to California, and there is no longer much possibility of conflict with you.

That's what you say.

"Everyone has their own talents." Abel smiled and said, "Mr. Perry, your talent is the most suitable to lead the people of Texas. ”

Hearing Abel say this, Rick Perry's eyes lit up obviously.

Mr. Governor looked at Abel seriously and said softly, "Mr. Smith, are you telling the truth?" ”

"Yes." Abel responded with a smile.

Rick Perry laughed visibly happily, but Mr. Governor didn't dare to laugh too loudly because of the meeting going on.

In Rick Perry's view, Neil Bush, the biggest threat to himself internally, is not actually a supporter of the Bush family.

It's the guy in front of him, who is very young, but already terrible enough to be treated with such caution and even fawning favor by Davis Brown's gang.

Now I see the hint of this guy.

Rick Perry, who knows that he is stable in Texas this year, is naturally happy.

"Call me Rick." Rick Perry said with a little joy, and his words were much more sincere than just now:

"I wish we were friends. I hope it always is. ”

"Of course. Rick, you should change your tune, too. Abel also smiled and said, "If you call me Abel directly, that will make me even happier." ”

"Oh, what a happy day today!"

Rick Perry hugged Abel again, this time more cordially than at the door of the Capitol.

"Nasty Mark Jaylincoln is getting out. I've got another good friend!! I'm really ...... What a pleasure. ”

Rick Perry said happily.

At this time, the Texas congregation below. Discuss. The time has come for the impeachment process to begin voting.

Of the 100 state representatives, 99 remain, excluding Speaker Mark Jellinken.

According to the rules, each member of the House of Representatives has only one vote in each ballot, and the Speaker has two votes for the purpose of determining the number of votes at that time.

Now Mark Jaylincoln is under impeachment.

During impeachment, all corresponding parliamentary rights are automatically lost.

That is, only the votes of these 99 deputies are useful today.

Voting begins.

Due to the number of people compared to the federal congregation. Discuss. The 435 students in the hospital are much less.

Only 99 people voted, and even with the older mechanical voting process, the results were still very fast.

The process of voting to impeach Mark Jelincoln from office voted 52 in favor, 35 against, and 12 abstentions.

The impeachment was successful and the proceedings were initiated.

As of today, Mark Jerlinken automatically loses his powers and positions in Texas, the House of Representatives and Speaker.

According to the regulations, before the elections start again.

The missing state legislators are elected from among the county governors of Texas' 254 counties.

The county governor who receives more than 1/3 of the votes is automatically elected by the state senate and is automatically elected as a state representative.

The Speaker of the House of Representatives is determined by the state. Discuss. The 100 members of the House of Representatives are automatically elected by internal elections.

The moment the impeachment took effect, Mark Jellincoln, who had lost his soul, had not even left the conference hall.

Texas ginseng. Discuss. Page Chairman, the speaker of the House, has already announced the start of the election of members of the House of Representatives.

Of the 254 county governors, six were elected.

Among them is the name of Alexander Smith, the county governor of Tarrant County, who took office just last year.

Voting begins.

After the end of voting.

Of the six candidates, Alexander Smith alone received 35 of the 51 votes.

With an unquestionable advantage, he became one of the new Texas House of Representatives.

As for the congregation. Discuss. The election of the speaker of the House of Representatives was postponed until three days later, on January 29.

Before that, after the end of the meeting.

Abel had already happily gone to Mr. Governor's office for coffee with Rick Perry, and two other Texas magnates.
