Primary
Oversight of
The
United
States

In order to avoid further electoral calamities such as what is occurring in the GOP right now, this bill seeks to add more oversight to Presidential Primaries.

Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

1: This Act may be cited as the "POTUS" Act.

SEC. 2. DEFINITIONS

1: Political Party, for the purposes of this act, is to be defined, as a noun, as the following: Any group on ROBLOX which is dedicated to a single or set of ideals, and who likely, but not necessarily, has members which participate in government/political activities.

2: Candidate, for the purposes of this act, is to be defined, as a noun, as the following: Any individual making a bid for a public office or position, typically in an election.

3: Nomination, for the purposes of this act, is to be defined, as a noun, as the following: The state of having been selected to represent a Party in a general election, typically occurring in Presidential Elections.

4: Nominee, for the purposes of this act, is to be defined, as a noun, as the following: The individual who has received his or her Party's nomination to represent them in a general election.

5: Independent, for the purposes of this act, is to be defined, as a noun, as the following: An individual who is not affiliated with any Political Party or who is running in an election without the nomination or support of a Political Party.

6: Pledge, for the purposes of this act, is to be defined, as a noun, as the following: A promise or statement to fulfill certain obligations

7: Offending Party, for the purposes of this act, is to be defined, as a noun, as the following: An individual who violates the terms of an agreement or contract

SEC. 3. PRIMARY PLEDGES

1: Political Parties may require all candidates running for the Presidential Nomination to pledge that they will not make a bid against the eventual nominee as an Independent, or under the banner of any other Party, and any such pledge shall be considered with the same validity as a legally binding document.

2: Political Parties may not however require candidates to pledge their support to the eventual nominee, though candidates may have the option of taking such a pledge if they choose to, however this pledge shall not be legally binding.

SEC. 4. LEGAL PENALTIES

1: The violation of pledges, which are laid out in this act as legally binding, shall result in the immediate disqualification of the offending party from running for President as an independent or under any Political Party.

2: The violation of the aforementioned pledges shall not be considered a criminal offense, but as a civil wrong, and may be sued for as such, but the federal government shall not prosecute the individual of its own accord.

SEC. 5 IMPLEMENTATION

1: This bill shall not go into effect until after the Presidential Election of Winter 2015-2016 has officially concluded, so as to prevent ex post facto punishments from being laid out.

If you could read the bill you'd know that this doesn't control the parties in any way at all
