SENATE BILL: The Contempt of Congress Act (Law'd)

[Redalgo]

The best guess I can think of off the top of my head would be there is an implicit understanding among congresspersons that if any member of a party fails to satisfactorily cooperate with the committees, which seem to always have seats filled with people aligned with both the presiding government and a minority from the opposition, there would be punishments related to patronage delivered within the party rather than by the government as a whole. Alas, because candidates in the game do not really depend upon their parties to be effective instruments of political influence nearly so much as in real life, there is much less of an incentive for individual public officials to go along with all the unspoken rules and procedures established over time within the government.

No - my concentration in study has never been anywhere near parliamentary procedures and I don't know political sociology like the back of my hand. If I were right there would likely be a lot of exceptions. But I do not see anyone else providing ideas, so I suppose this is at least marginally better than letting the thread go silent for a couple days. When in doubt, I try to figure out who controls which strategic resources and how much leverage that might afford them against others.
