Legislation should be timely.
Debates will be more exciting if they involve the most current events. For example, a bill concerning immigration reform, a major issue in the news, would be better suited for a debate than a bill about Iraq, which has not been in the news for some time.
Debaters should also ensure that their bills and resolutions are not redundant. For example, writing a resolution encouraging the United States to pull all troops out of Iraq would make little sense, given that this has already occurred.
