Can a new player take the button?

[K-Lo]

I think we all agree that a new player, who has been assigned a specific seat (preferably at random), may take the button when coming in if that's where the button happens to be.

YES - Just answering the question in the Subject.

All these lengthy responses are exhausting. 

And for the record....

YES they can assume the Small Blind

And

YES they can assume the Big Blind

And

YES two new players can assume the Small Blind and Big Blind at the same time!

Did I mention the answer is YES. The answer is YES.

Ok I'm done.
