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

In an unprecedented move that has left political pundits and gaming enthusiasts alike in a state of stunned disbelief, Congress has officially declared a "no-fly zone" over the Capitol Building, citing the need for "strategic advantage" in the ongoing debate over modern warfare. The move comes after a heated session of "Risk" among key lawmakers, which culminated in a dramatic standoff between the Red and Blue armies, each vying for control of the legislative board.

The impromptu strategy game session, initiated by freshman Representative Alex "The Tactician" Zeldin, a known aficionado of tabletop war games, quickly escalated from a friendly exhibition to a full-blown political spectacle. "We're not just playing for fun here," Zeldin proclaimed from atop his towering stack of Monopoly real estate, "We're simulating the geopolitical chess match that is modern warfare. It's high time we took our responsibilities as national strategists more seriously."

The debate, which had previously been mired in partisan bickering over funding for military advancements, suddenly took a turn for the surreal as senators and representatives donned their "BattleTech" exoskeletons and launched into a series of maneuvers that would make Sun Tzu blush. The Capitol's hallowed halls echoed with the sounds of dice rolls and the clatter of plastic troops as legislators debated the merits of nuclear deterrence, cyber warfare, and the potential for a revival of ancient tactics, such as the "Peloponnesian War" card, which, if played correctly, could potentially alter the course of history.

The controversy has not been without its critics. Historical societies have decried the use of strategy games as a platform for serious debate, arguing that the rich and complex history of warfare is being trivialised. "It's like using a Ouija board to draft foreign policy," one historian lamented. "These games are designed for entertainment, not to shape the future of our nation."

However, proponents of the initiative argue that the gamified approach has brought a new level of engagement to the legislative process. "We're seeing more collaboration and innovation than ever before," Zeldin insisted, as he expertly parried an attack from Senator "Straight-Shooter" Tammy Duckworth with a well-timed "Diplomacy" negotiation. "By simulating conflicts, we're better prepared to navigate the complexities of real-world warfare."

As the showdown continues, the rest of the nation watches with bated breath, wondering if this unconventional approach to governance will lead to breakthroughs in policy or simply result in a room full of adults arguing over the rules of "Risk." One thing is certain: the history books will have a field day with this one.
