About laws :

For every proposed law, there will be a Debate link for the Congress members/President to specify a discussion area.
Like stated before, the Congress Members can propose only 2 laws in a mandate, while the Presidents can propose an unlimited number of laws.
If the law's voting process has not been finished, the same type of law can not be proposed.
The voting process period for each law is 24 hours.
In order for a law to pass, the majority of votes must be in-favor (in case of a tie, the law is considered to be rejected), even if only one vote has been expressed.
An exception is the President Impeachment law, that requires 66% in-favor votes out of the expressed votes.
The President can also vote the proposed laws. So, basically, the President and the Congress Members can vote once for each proposed law.
