Very interesting concepts with the Congressional leaders: I'm guessing the House is a much more interesting place to be OTL.
Each committee basically acts as its own mini-legislature, and if you don't get a seat on one of the interesting ones, you basically do nothing important.
Two Questions:
1. What's Martian Baptism?
2. How much time do the Offworld Congresspeople (and Senators) spend in their constituencies?
3. Did Herscel James really get married aged 9?
1. Just a branch of Baptism found on Mars.
2. For those from the Outer System, not much, which is sometimes an issue but it is what it is.
3. Transposed numbers.
