Hey folks!
I just wanted to swing by to give a few bits of information regarding Congress.

[CITIZEN'S RIGHTS]
Recently in a session, I proposed the Citizen's Rights and Legal Protection Act, which made sure that tryout areas had made it blatantly clear of your rights regarding tryouts and legal action. There was already a supreme court decision which helped this. However, the following representatives below blocked the bill:
-Ethancomputermad [I]
-RyanRevan [R]
-independenceluu [D]
-EconomicsMaster [P]
-Smoothie71 [R]

[COMMITTEES]
You may notice a few changes in the next election cycle, as a new committee was set up by RyanRevan and jcmand. They gave themselves the power to do the following:
-Disqualify any nominee they wish
-Limit candidates spending money on themselves
-Control advertising and require for audit logs, monetary logs, sample ads and code to be given to them

These powers were mostly given to the committee due to RyanRevan's pushes.

[COMMITTEES, p2]
The Committee on Rules and Administration's Vice Chairman, RyanRevan, recently created legislation which would have weakened the Democratic National Party significantly. Several members of different parties have defected to the Democrats as they have been called having "a common sense approach". It's not yet been proposed, however it likely will be in the future.

[SESSION HIJACK]
The owner of the Congress place, ethancomputermad, recently called for a "lame duck" vote, which was illegal. Conditions for the scenario had not been met, however it was passed. He then proceeded to override my admin and propose many motions consecutively [within the space of a few minutes], which is up to the chair to call a vote on. He even took away my admin at the place after I tried to stop him.

[PASSED LEGISLATION]
Most recently, these bills have passed the House and are awaiting Senate approval:

There were a few more passed articles, however sadly I don't have the text. Sorry about that.
Thread is open to discussion.

They can't just "give" themselves more powers. It's called Checks and Balances.

@Tzam
That's the most non-intelligent thing I've ever heard.
You don't even know 10% of the "bills" the USA has, yet you say the "ROBLOX" USA is better than the real one. That's a joke.

It was a subcommittee of the already existing Congressional Elections Committee. You were offered a chairman position, but you declined. The party is made up of 6 congressmen, 3 from the Republican Party, 3 from the Democratic Party.

We cannot disqualify or limit spending money by ourselves.

All of this is up to Congress itself.

This was a draft for the Committee which I quickly declined. And it never referenced to the Democratic National Party itself. It was meant for all parties. Regardless, I did not agree with it. I did see where he was coming from though.

They have the right to nay any bill. They were also elected into Congress for their views and beliefs and can vote how they see fit. Obviously, they did not agree with something within the bill.

Stop complaining because they blocked your bill. It happens. This is a democracy, not everything you with your views and beliefs passes.

i'm aware that i declined to join the committee. at the time, i was maj ldr, protempore AND chair of another committee. that's too much as is, which is one of the resigns i resigned from maj ldr.

and i wasn't complaining. that's what happened.
