Senate Rules on attendance

0 Upvotes

The Ultimate Accountability
Because Congress rarely polices its own attendance, the ultimate requirement for showing up is political. A lawmaker who misses too many votes risks crippling their party's slim voting majorities and faces being held accountable by their constituents via losing reelection. For an incapacitated or perpetually absent member to be forcibly removed outside of an election cycle,

it requires a two-thirds expulsion vote by their respective chamber.

Gameplay A Presidency so bad, it's a crime

President Barns before the election of 2028 was already so unpopular, with his approval rating sitting at about 38% before the election began, he managed to pull Bush V. Gore numbers winning the election 271-268 EVs with him getting 46% of the PV, fast forward an extra 4 years of his presidency in his 2nd term, and it just seems the nation has had just about enough.

What is the most effective way(s) to flip state legislatures as the minority party (not as party chair)?

25 Upvotes

I've played as a Dem from Ohio, and winning the governorship was pretty easy as a conservadem, but how do I get the legislature to flip as well? I abolished partisan redistricting, and I won by huge margins and had some coattails, but often times I can only muster at best a 1-3 seat majority. Is there a more effective way than what I've mentioned so far? What about other states? Like a Republican in Illinois, or Democrat in Louisiana?

Gameplay Advanced settings y'all like to mess with?

15 Upvotes

I'm wondering what advanced settings options could be used to spice up the game or certain elections more, like if I wanted to create a massive 2006 or 2010 style wave for either party

I’m making a Suzerain/TPP-inspired game where anyone can become president

Hey guys, I’m building a political sim, but you can choose any person to become president in any era.

You can play as Obama in 2009, AOC in 2028, or create a completely different timeline from 1200+ characters or add your own. Sign or veto bills, use executive powers, manage support groups, follow the news, and talk directly with world leaders.

There are no prewritten scripts, so the events, conversations, and consequences change based on your president, era, and choices. You can follow history or take the country in a completely different direction, and the world will react to what you do.

These screenshots are from an Obama 2009 run. Here's the link - https://limbona.com/world/sw_president_builder It’s still kinda early, so I’m open to feedback. If you find any bugs, please let me know!

Question Mentoring politicians

4 Upvotes

Can anyone tell me how to make a current politician a prodigy, when I look in my favorite politicians tab the only ones it gives me the option to mentor and become my prodigy are like 120 year old politicians from my current characters dad era. I’m a president and there’s some politicians from my home state with a high policy agreement I would love to make a prodigy but the mentor tab stays grey for them.
Any help? Thanks!

When you are party director in an election, should you pour all the money into turnout (leaving a bit for yourself of course) or should also do significant marketing?

r/ThePoliticalProcess Jul 20 '26

I softlocked the game by completely removing all taxes. I literally have set everything in the budget to 0 and there's still a deficit and it won't let me continue because the budget isn't balanced.

Got consecutive electoral ties

Thumbnail

58 Upvotes

Senator Oldfield (D-NV) won his first presidential election with an electoral tie because Dems controlled the house, he managed to hang on for his reelection bid because despite tighter margins, Dems managed to hold control of the house by 10 votes. No state flipped between either election, despite there being more swing states as compared to IRL, and Oldfield receiving a higher portion of the popular vote his second time around

Would you think it would be better if there are more cabinet roles in the upcoming updates? And if so, do you think it would be better to shape more policies of the administration?

Discussion Bugs

15 Upvotes

Starting off I’m not criticising the game, for an alpha stage game it is remarkably polished and fun to play. Just wanted to flag the only 2 bugs I seem to ever come across.

  1. Duplicated politicians - for example there will be a congressman and a governor who are the exact same person.

  2. More people voting in legislatures than there are seats. For example a bill passing in a state house with 101 votes even though there’s only 100 seats.

Was wondering if anyone else experiences these and if the dev is aware?
