Within the International Model Congress strand, Congress delegates take part in primaries, debates and a general election. The election cycle is limited to the Congress committees; other IMP committees do not take part. This is a draft and may change.
Daily
Congress delegates work in sub-committees in the morning, then the full House and Senate meet once a day.
Day 2, morning
A Democratic (DNC) and a Republican (GOP) convention. The House and Senate meet together by party to choose a presidential nominee, after candidates are narrowed down by sub-committee votes. Only party members vote in their party's primary; non-Congress delegates cannot vote in primaries.
Day 2
Each candidate gets a 30-minute debate before results. Delegates may form up to 2 minority parties, and one independent candidate may take part if they follow the rules, so there are at most 4 candidates.
Day 2
Delegates in the House, Senate and Supreme Court can vote in the general election. Delegates in other IMP committees do not vote.
Rest of the conference
The elected President signs or vetoes bills passed by the House and Senate. A two-thirds majority in Congress overrides a veto.
Voting method: To be confirmed
