How a bill becomes law –
Politics in the U.S. House of Representatives

On June 25th, 2005, fifty German students and young leaders can be U.S. Representatives for a day! In a whole-day role play, participants will be members of a mock Congress and will work to pass or defeat legislation to reform social security. They will be joined by visiting American students from Macomb Community College in Michigan. The moderator for the day, Edward Bruley will be flying over from Detroit, Michigan, to share his 27 years of experience in the United States Congress with us. Mr. Bruley served as Chief of Staff to US Congressman David E. Bonior (D-MI), the former Democratic Whip of the United States House of Representatives.

The role play will be conducted in English. Your registration fee of 10 Euro will cover food and drinks during the role play. Due to limited space, pre-registration is required. The Forum for Young Leaders is a program and network created for young professionals, students and cultural leaders from around the world.
