Note from Deputy/Acting Speaker of the House, Claire Littleton

Hello, eUS citizens. I write to you as the Acting Speaker of the House to inform you that this article is in no way affiliated with A Little Claire-ification, but instead is an official article of the The Speaker's Word, the official paper of the eUSA Congress. Unfortunately, Cromstar, Speaker of the House has real life priorities and, once again, can not bring this End-Term Congressional Progress Report to you himself in the official paper. Also, he has the password to the org, so I am unable to publish this where it should be published. I felt as Acting SoH that my paper was the next best place. Here is the Mid-Term Report if you missed it: 17th Congress Mid-Term Report

With that said, I ask you to not subscribe to A Little Claire-ification based on this article, but instead to subscribe to The Speaker's Word. Now, down to business. BlakeChrysostom, Kansas, has written a summary of the second half of the 17th Congressional Term.

End-Term Congressional Report by BlakeChrysostom

Hello everyone and on behalf of the 17th Congress and the Government Oversight Committee, welcome to my second Congressional Update. It has been a turbulent week or two in the world, and the same can be said of Congress. Thankfully, however, our government will continue to function regardless of whether ATLANTIS exists or Romania is a world power. We have worked hard to continue to bring reform and efficiency to the eUS government. The Congressional Updates are part of that overall program. If I’m fortunate enough to be re-elected to Congress, you can expect to see another one of these next week.

If you are interested, the previous Congressional update can be found here:


*Notice: I have not included “lulz” proposals.
**Also, all money transfers to the Congressional Budget Office were pre-approved, and passed.

The people in this Committee will also belong to one of the 4 Basic Committees as well. The rationale for the committee was to acclimate new members of Congress to the rules of the body and to inform them of ongoing votes and debates. This measure was approved, 22-0 reaching the necessary quorum in the 24 hour vote period.

These funds will be used exclusively for the payment of employee wages and the procurement of iron. This was approved, 21-0, reaching the necessary quorum in the 24-hour voting period.

Voting-Record Publication by Claire Littleton

Hello, eUS, below you will find links that will direct you to a spreadsheet of the voting records of how every Congressperson voted on every in-game vote. They are separated by dates, so make sure to check them all. If your Congressperson has failed to report their votes, then take it up with them via PM. I can only collect them and can not force them to register their votes. Also, I would like to note that the May 17-23 report was just posted yesterday so your Congressperson may not have had time to register their vote yet.

--1st Half of Term Records--

April 27-30: Voting Record

May 1-4: Voting Record

May 5-11: Voting Record

--2nd Half of Term Records (New)--

May 12-16: Voting Record

Note: Check back for the 17-23rd as those records are automatically updated in the link provided as new records come in.
