The House is a simulation of how the US House of Representatives works. It follows MUN General Assembly procedure and is divided into subcommittees. The House will have to write and edit laws to propose to the Senate for approval.
Works as a General Assembly committee – writes bills (resolutions).
Bills are the same as resolutions, but more informal.
Will have quickly-moving topics, as laws are passed by both chambers to allow editing, voting, etc.
Must present bills, edit bills, and review the Senate’s bills.
Contains six sub-committees that will write bills depending on their specialization. After a majority of the subcommittees has finished drafting laws, the House will convene.
Representatives will have political affiliations (Democrat, Republican, Independent) and Issues of Importance (specific topics that will sway the representative’s decisions or risk their reelection)
Congressmen and women will encounter elections:
After the first day (1 year), representatives will be told if they have gained reelection or not. Representatives who are not reelected will have their party changed.
The only way to not get reelected is by voting in favor of bills that may harm your Issues of Importance.
Issues of Importance include: majority-race constituents, immigration, abortion, gun rights, etc.
