One more thing. As stated, I won't compromise on the VP being the counter for the Senate. I do have something else to suggest though.
I will accept the GA electing its own counter, under two conditions. First, candidates must be chosen by the delegates (as in, people volunteer and send their personal statements to their region's delegate, and the delegate selects the best). Then the GA representatives will vote for their favorite candidate, but will not be allowed to vote for their own region's candidate. The second condition is that the VP be permitted to break a tie vote for the GA head AND he/she be the head of the Senate.
