CONGRESS a.k.a. "Cong" Here you get to play the part of a Congressperson in the 'houses' of approximately 15 students. Topics are 'bills' or 'resolutions' which are published 2-4 weeks before the competition so everyone can research and prepare. Congresspersons take turns speaking for or against the issue for 3 minutes or less and then field questions from the group for 1 minute.
