no disrespect to CLE but I think that it is time for some new league presidents(although I would vote for CLE again for I think he's done a good job) but the NL has had no leadership and is due for a change....
calling for a vote to deciede if we should change the rule on the league presidents to something like the new system we use for agents...

I was thinking of doing this, but then I realized something.
The League presidents don't really have any set duties to do, so it kinda doesn't make sense to even have them.
Shawn does help out with locking threads and stuff like that, which really helps when I'm working all day and stuff is going on, and he sometimes processes stuff, but if we were to do voting on league presidents, what would the jobs be?
I think being the first to be available as a sponsor to new teams would be one thing. Rule proposals and new ideas are nice but you can't force people to come up with them.
I have no problem doing this someone can come up with ideas on what they'd do, so there's actualy a reason to elect people.

Well reasons we have League Presidents right now from what I thought was: 1) Has the ability to send trades to trade committee with just there vote. 2) There to help people in the league with any problems or questions they have. 3) Lock threads and keep order in the league.
Other things you can add to the "duties" would be to
4) Keep an eye on everything to make sure the rules are being followed.
5) Meet with Mike once a week before one of the sims to discuss problems or ways to improve the leagiue, and anything posted in the rule proposal thread.
Basically to just help Mike with the league so it's not all on him.

I like all of those....how about if possible the league presidents could help in FA and with simming...I agree with the need to define what the league presidents should be doing

I think both league presidents should always be on the 5-person TC and also can negotiate signings and resignings and process FA's if an agent is inactive, unavailable or on vacation.
