Impeached 2 is an armchair politician's dream. Play today!

In a shocking turn of events that would leave even the most seasoned political pundits scratching their heads, the United States Congress has recently proposed a groundbreaking bill that promises to revolutionize the way science is conducted in the country. The bill, titled the "American Innovation and Legislation Empowerment Act (AILEA)," aims to infuse a healthy dose of competitive sportsmanship into the realm of scientific research.

Under the guise of fostering innovation, the bill proposes to organize science into a league system, akin to the NFL or NBA, with research teams vying for funding and prestige. The top-performing labs and institutions would be awarded "Grantsman Cups," complete with cheerleaders and halftime shows, while underperforming ones would face public shaming and budget cuts akin to a humiliating loss in the Super Bowl.

The bill's sponsor, Senator Science-a-lot (R-TX), declared in a press conference that, "Science has become too stale, too bureaucratic. It's time to inject some American spirit into those sterile labs. We're turning scientists into gladiators and peer-reviewed papers into blood-stained coliseum banners!"

In a related development, the Department of Energy has already started construction on a colossal, taxpayer-funded stadium that will host the first annual "E=MC2 Super Bowl," where physics teams from MIT, Caltech, and CERN will battle it out for supremacy. The event is expected to be a knock-down, drag-out brawl of intellectual prowess, complete with pompoms and plexiglass helmets to protect those delicate grey matters.

Meanwhile, the National Science Foundation (NSF) has been transformed into the NSF-iestael (National Science Foundation of the Incredibly Superior and Exemplary American League), which will oversee the new league and its inevitable playoffs, World Series, and Super Bowls. The NSF-iestael has also announced plans to introduce team merchandise, including science lab coats emblazoned with team logos and slogans like "We're Number 1 (and we have the Grantsman Cup to prove it)!"

Environmental scientists, however, have raised concerns about the environmental impact of these new sports facilities, prompting the EPA to issue a statement saying, "We're on it! We'll have those pollutants scored and tackled in no time!"

As the country gears up for this new era of scientific competition, many are left wondering if this is truly the best way to foster innovation, or if it's just another political game that will leave science—and the United States' global reputation—worse off. But one thing is clear: in this new legislative arena, the only constant is change, and the only certainty is uncertainty. But hey, at least there will be lots of TV ads featuring lab-coated athletes showing off their biceps and throwing test tubes!
