The greatest kind of leader is one who does not wish to even be one. '''Xertun''''s performance during the debate has been credited by many to have been the sole reason for such a strong showing during voting night. Had he not been in the race, it is expected that his seat would have gone to '''Dainis''', allowing for total <b style="color:#b20040">NSP</b> control of the '''Senate'''. Instead, an air of incompetent cluelessness runs through the '''Senate''' halls, and '''Xertun''''s approval ratings could not be higher.

'''Chauka''' and '''Charter''', the remaining top figureheads of the <b style="color:#b20040">NSP</b>, took the remaining two seats. Although belonging to the same political party, it is important to note that they did not vote uniformly in favor of all of proposed bills. Each '''senator''' reserves the right to vote independently on each proposal, no matter their political affiliation.

Below sits a record of all legislative actions taken by the '''1st Congress''' during their two month term, as well as the fate of each bill. Following a server-wide referendum, any words spoken in the chambers of the '''Senate''' are a matter of public record, viewable in '''#🏛-the-senate''', and condensed in this article for convenient viewing. The '''mod team''' reserved the exclusive right to veto any legislation it deemed a threat to the current democratic order of the server.
