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

In a stunning turn of events, the United States Senate is currently embroiled in a fierce debate over a piece of legislation that has polarized the nation's political elite more than any debate over the importance of strategic thinking since Napoleon played chess blindfolded. The bill, aptly named the "Game On Act," proposes to provide federal funding for the purchase of strategy board games by American households.

"This is not a game," thundered Senator Rummy (R-VA), with the gravitas of a statesman who has probably never lost a game of Monopoly. "We are talking about the survival of our nation's mental fortitude against the encroaching threats of video games and digital distractions."

On the other side of the aisle, President Pawn (D) countered with a rousing call to arms, er, board games. "My fellow Americans, let us not be afraid to think several moves ahead. By investing in the physical and cognitive discipline of strategy games, we are laying the groundwork for a future of critical thinkers, not passive spectators."

The GOP, led by the iron-fisted Senator Stratego (R-TX), has accused the President of frivolity, suggesting that the nation's funds could be better spent on "real" defense mechanisms, like building a moat with alligators to protect the southern border.

In response, President Pawn has hit back with a series of tweets, each more scathing than the last, comparing Senator Stratego's political strategy to that of a player who constantly forgets to fortify their castles.

Meanwhile, the American populace has been torn between amusement and bewilderment, as their elected representatives spend more time debating the merits of Risk than addressing pressing issues like infrastructure or healthcare.

The "Game On Act" has garnered support from a variety of unexpected sources, including the influential lobbying group "Pie in the Sky Ideas for America," which has been mysteriously funded by an anonymous donor who, rumor has it, has a deep affinity for the game of Risk.

As the debate rages on, the nation watches with bated breath, hoping that their leaders will soon move their pieces off the political chessboard and address the real issues at hand. Until then, the Senate remains a pawn's paradise, a place where the political strategy is as complex and unpredictable as a game of Diplomacy played by international tigers on a caffeine buzz.
