UVM AB OG
STJ PC OO
Ohio Wesleyan SM CG Cornell Monkey YS CO This House would allow candidates to designate certain promises as legally binding, which, if broken, would trigger automatic recall elections. “I promise no more concussions in our Amish primary schools!”

As if yesterday’s superhero motion wasn’t enough, now we have closed adjudication and an information slide!
