Z11979: Mini Model US Congress in Splash 2017 (Nov. 18 - 19, 2017)
Do you think that you know better than the Congress? What would you do to make a difference if you were elected? How would you convince the rest of the body to follow along with your plan? In this class, you'll be playing US legislators. You, the representatives of your assigned states, will be given an issue, and tasked with preparing competing bills to find a solution. You'll have to act as representatives of your state, writing and voting on legislation as they would. You'll decide when bills are voted on, and then you get to vote. Since we can't simulate the Congress exactly, we'll be using some modified rules of parliamentary procedures, but the goals will be the same.
