The Constitution of the Sussy Congress

The Speaker presides over the chamber and is the principal custodian of the gavel, the rostrum, and all instruments incidental to the orderly conduct of legislative business. The office of Speaker is presently held by Rep. Plorbis, holder of the Speaker slug and elected unanimously on the first ballot.

Pursuant to House Rule XXII, the Speaker does not vote except to break a tie or to register objection to a motion before the body.

The Speaker is the sole signatory on the Bipartisan Toilet Water Disclosure Memorandum and, with the Chairman of the Select Committee on National Security, holds standing access to the Sussy Vault.

The members of the body are the sitting Representatives enumerated upon the official roster. Each member holds one district and is recognized by the handle of record on file with the Discord Registry.

Membership exists in two tiers. The main group chat is the HEAD of the body — its core and seat of authority — and its members hold priority in all matters. The members of the wider Discord server, where granted the membership role, remain part of the body but rank secondary to the HEAD.

Standing in the HEAD is the highest priority a member may hold; presence in the group at large is conferred by the role and confers the lesser priority. Where the two tiers conflict, the HEAD prevails.

Members who become inactive shall be BOOTED. Continued participation — in the chat, in voice, and in the lobby — is the condition of remaining seated, and a member who goes dark without cause may be removed from the rolls at the body's discretion.

A member determined by the body to have engaged in conduct incompatible with the standards of the body — or who otherwise leaves, is banned, or turns evil — may be stricken from the rolls, records, and proceedings in perpetuity, and all references to the said individual redacted by the Office of the Clerk.

A member who is deemed by the body to have become “hella diddy” or “a little bit too sussy” shall be EVAPORATED. Evaporation is a complete and immediate removal from the body, leaving no forwarding address, and is a fate distinct from ordinary censure or the boot.

Where a member maintains more than one designation, alias, or legal name of record, the body shall treat all such designations as one and the same person.

Any authenticated sitting member of the body may amend the official record of the public pages — including this Constitution, the Hall of Shame, the Sussy Furry Archives, and the homepage — through the on-page editing instruments provided for that purpose.

All amendments are recorded by the Office of the Clerk, together with the handle of the amending member and the time of amendment, and take effect immediately upon entry.

Bios of the members are fetched live from the Discord Registry; manually entered records may go stale and shall be republished when in doubt.

The Hall of Shame is a continuing record of formal censures, expulsions, and entries stricken from the proceedings. Inclusion therein is an action of the body and confers no statement of fact beyond the censure itself.

A censure shall state a display label or subject, a resolution number, a one-line offense, and the findings of the body, and may name a sponsor.

In deference to the privacy of affected parties and the administration of justice, the body may decline to recite the particulars of a matter in the public record.

The Sussy Furry Archives are a standing exhibit record, organized by Representative of record, documenting anthropomorphic and furry materials transmitted by members of the body.

Materials are reproduced as transmitted, without enhancement or commentary, for the limited purpose of establishing a pattern of conduct. The identity of a transmitting member shall be established by profile capture before attribution.

The principal business of the body is the playing of games, whether in virtual reality or upon the flatscreen, and the holding of voice chat incidental thereto. All members are entitled to be pinged for a lobby and none shall be left in queue without cause.

A member who calls a game and assembles a party is bound in good faith to show up. Backing out after the lobby is full, going AFK at the round's start, or rage-quitting a match in progress are each conduct unbecoming and may be entered into the record.

Friendly fire, trash talk, and the throwing of a ranked match for the bit are tolerated within reason; griefing a member in earnest is not. The body recognizes no honor among teammates who fail to call out their pings.

Members in virtual reality shall be afforded a reasonable grace for tracking faults, guardian boundaries, and the knocking-over of household objects. A member who removes the headset mid-session forfeits no standing but is encouraged to announce the same.

Ragebait is hereby recognized as a standing hazard to the body. The deliberate provocation of a member for the purpose of inducing tilt — whereby the provoked member, made angry, begins to mess up, and is thereupon baited with the said mistakes until the matter snowballs — is conduct the body holds in particular disfavor.

A member who finds himself the target of ragebait is advised to disengage, mute, or take the L with dignity rather than feed the snowball. A member who deploys ragebait does so at his own risk and may be entered into the Hall of Shame should the bit go too far.

The Toilet Water Incident of October 19, 2025 is a standing matter before the body. The complainant of record is recused from all proceedings arising therefrom by order of the Speaker.

H. Res. 119–12 names the design strategy by which a programme baits viewers with provocative character design the "Bodega Maneuver," and acknowledges the targeted member as the foreseeable target rather than the architect thereof.

Utterances of sufficient gravity may be forwarded to the Office of the Librarian for archival permanence and, where appropriate, inscription upon marble pursuant to H.R. 2026–044.

This Constitution may be amended by any authenticated member through the on-page editing instruments. The body reserves the right to gavel any amendment out of order.
