1 | What is Congress ...
by Scott Coyle, Sr.

That is a simple and easy question to answer although most people may miss the point. Currently we don't have the ability to have a true American Government with the limitations of eRepublik as there is no Judicial Module to act as the 3rd piece to our normal Check & Balance system so the Executive and Legislative both take over this role which means for us Congress is doubly as important as in Real Life.

Our congress acts as the main Check for our Executive Branch ( President and Department Staff ). There is a lot that the President can do but when it comes to funding and other important topics it still requires Congressional Approval. Without that back up to the Executive we could easily have a rogue president running amok but thankfully we haven't had that issue in recent times.

Many can try and say that congress isn't useful and is a waste of time and effort but in reality beneath all the issues every congress has we actually have a great system which tones out most of the drama and mess. Without our functioning Congress we would be without an important aspect of our government.

It simply represents the people as best as eRepublik will allow to take place. If you want to pass an important law then look no further than the congress. Many top parties have open spots for smaller parties whom want to run a candidate. Congress votes on Mutual Protection Pacts ( individual country allies ), Welcome Messages for New Players, Budgeting, etc ...

2 | How to Apply ...
by Scott Coyle, Sr.

Normally we have a deadline of the 19th of the Month but recently we have been extending it to give as many as possible a chance to apply under our the Federalist Banner. The last couple of months we have actually been working with a number of smaller parties to bring their candidates to the current session, most notably being our partnership with the Socialist Freedom Party ( SFP ).

The process is very simple, you apply, we review your application and if your selected you are added to the list and added to congress after the elections on the 24th. If your from another party just have your Party President contact our Party President Trekker Tlumac and we can see if there is a partnership that can be hammered out.
Step 1: Apply via the Federalist Party Congress Form

Step 3: Wait and See if your Selected

We normally select our congressional deligation around the 20th but occasionally we extend it to allow for more potential members; for example this month we have decided to extend the deadline for an unspecified amount of time so apply ASAP. Again all you must do is fill out the application and run, if your curious about our selection process you can contact our Political Director Abrahan Lincoln. We even have a mock congress to help educate the next generation of Congressional Delegates!
