If we are to do this we need Cnredd to set it up for us and we would need to elect a Speaker of the House who will set the debate agenda.
I nominate Spencer Collins as the Speaker of the House and propose that the first item on our agenda be H.R. 1585, the National Defense Authorization Act.

House Passes $700 Billion Defense Spending Bill
Anyone else game? I think this would be fun, informative, and we could actually propose solutions instead of just screaming about the problems. |
I love the idea, but it actually sounds TOO specific...
A) We HAVE a forum called "Politics", so a new forum isn't needed for legislation, since this is already covered...
B) Anyone who has the motivation to do so has the power...making someone a "Speaker" makes it an obligation...I just suggest someone making themself the speaker by creating threads about bills and discussing them...
Unless I'm missing something...
