The 25th: Congressional Election Time
Every month on the 25th, the citizens of the New World come together in the voting booths and elect the insignificant, magnificent controllers of their nation's treasury, Congress.
According to Plato, a Congress member has merely three small duties;
Voting on proposals proposed by the President or another Congress member;
Accept citizenship requests;
or Proposing (up to two) Laws.
Now you know... Congress has very few actual responsibilities in the New World, but I can tell you from experience that the eAmerican Congress just absolutely LOVES to give themselves busy work. One month, Congress actually debated how to become more active... throughout the entire month! Deaf ears befell my call to end the stupidity and realize that they had actually became more active by debating how to become more active.
This is an example of the fun and responsibility that comes with being elected to the eAmerican Congress.
Eternal Damnation
So why would I subject myself to such insanity for the eighth time? Because this is hell, baby; so I might as well make the best of it. In my terms in office, I have always get more involved with domestic policy when I serve in Congress. As a Congressman, I can make sure the important domestic programs that help each and every eAmerican succeed continue to receive adequate funding and oversight. These programs are important to the entire nation, and their continued success must be assured.
In addition, I have always been one to listens to both sides of the arguments. I have always attempted to be a voice of reason yet stand firm on my belief that the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few. And I have NEVER put my own personal gain over that of my fellow citizens, nor will I ever.
Can I Get Your Support?
If you agree, join me in moving to COLORADO and be ready to cast that vote. In fact, if you are willing to pledge your vote to me, please let me know. As I said earlier, the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few... or the one. Your vote may be needed to defend the eUSA against a foreign (or even domestic) political attack.

I notice you failed to point out the few responsibilities of POTUS. Anyway, the blessing and the curse of Congress has always been the meta-game Constitution we have made for ourselves. Any organization, whether in a game or real life, makes rules for themselves to live by. This is done for many reasons, but mostly so that they can get things done that they wish to accomplish. Without these rules there is no organization and little, if anything, is accomplished.
The eUSA Constitution is a bit over complicated in my opinion, but is still a workable document. The problem with Congress (or the POTUS) is not the list of rules we have set for ourselves. The problem is persons that have been elected have no idea of what the rules are, their purpose in Congress or even basic rules of order.
Freshman Congress members, in the first week or two, run about, willy nilly, proposing items on the forum that are already there or that are a complete waste of time. They get offended when someone asks what they are talking about or why. They propose laws in game that are contrary to what has been agreed upon on the forum by a proper vote. Some have even proposed impeachment of the POTUS in game, questioned late, after the uproar has cooled, they say it was for the lulz, a joke.
The next couple of weeks are for arguments by people who have had their feelings hurt. Their purpose is mostly to start shit and disrupt other normal discussions by constantly asking "why?" to the same thing, over and over.
The last week sometimes Congress will get some meta-game work done, assuming the trouble makers got bored and quit. What a waste of good fun playing politics. Or is it? A lot of what I just described goes on in RL politics, just not at such a juvenile level.
@Jude, if you think you can make a difference, go for it man. You can't make it any worse and possibly a voice of reason might help. Just remember, to get anything done, you will have to get 20+ people to agree with you!
"A lot of what I just described goes on in RL politics, just not at such a juvenile level."
I disagree, it is just as bad, how else does our RL nation get into such debt.
Good luck Jude
I have to say, 25 or 6 to 4 is a badass song
@TDP: I've been there before... I am sure it never changes.
@Geo: Same to you, Bud!
@Paul: Did you get the Chicago reference at all?
As in you're running in Illinois and thus the song is by Chicago, and it's on the 25th?
See why I love you so much, Paul?
I'll vote for you. At least in spirit.
Good Luck
