48th Congress - Volume 3

Day 1,479, 15:26 • Published in USA USA • by eUSA Congress

Welcome again to THE SPEAKER'S WOR😨 the official journal of the eUSA Congress. I decided to start off this issue with a quick introduction on what a Congress person is and does.


WHAT IS CONGRESS?

According to the official wiki of the New World, Congress is the main legislative body of the nations of eRepublik so becoming a Congress member is one of important steps in every politician life.

It goes on to say that a Congress member has three primary duties:
• Voting on proposals proposed by the President.
• Propose laws
• Accept citizenship requests

Most countries have a slightly more advanced system where Congress Members can register at forums to discuss and decide on a lot more things than just sitting and voting on proposals.

And yes, the eUSA is one of those nations with an advanced system. That system is the Congress Forums of the eUSA Forums.

The Congress Forums are divided into three primary groups;
• General Forum - open entirely to the public
• Public Congressional Proceedings - public can view, not post
• Private Congressional Proceedings - Congress only
In addition, there are sub-forums for CBO (Congressional Budget Office) and the Library of Congress, which is a publicly-available history of Congressional proceedings.

Another resource available to public-viewing should be read by every aspiring Congressman:Congressional Orientation. Here, you can find guides and instruction for Congress members. There is even a place for new Congressmen to ask questions to incumbents.

Information leads to Knowledge. Knowledge leads to Success.
