I. INTRODUCTION
WORLD YOUTH MODEL CONGRESS 2010
World Youth Model Congress(WYMC) is the most oldest, most accurate, and most
comprehensive model congress in Korea. Founded in 2008 by the legendary F4, WYMC has a
proud tradition of hosting some of the most entertaining and educational conferences in Korea, a
conference that brings together many of the most brilliant minds in Korea, many of whom have
furthered their interests in public speaking and government through the WYMC experience.

In a few month‟s time, you will be entering the world of WYMC and will get to experience first
hand the exciting conference WYMC has to offer. You are about to enter committees full of smart,
interesting people, people who you will undoubtably befriend and learn from, an experience only
WYMC can offer.

For this year‟s conference, you will join one of the following committees;

The WHITE HOUSE committee offers a chance for participants to debate whether or not to sign
or veto a bill, under the watchful eyes of the commanding and charismatic President of the United
States.

The ELECTIONS committee will choose, through rigorous debate and campaigning, who will get
to take the seat of the President for next year‟s conference.

The CONGRESS committees, composed of two senior committees and two junior committees are
the heart and soul of WYMC, debating and producing bills which can become WYMC law.

MEDIA committees will report the news of the many WYMC committees, ranging from the big
serious debates, to the entertaining scandals that‟ll undoubtably occur during the conference.

In the G20 committee participants become the leaders of the top 20 economies of the world,
debating on issues that‟ll sway the future of the world economy.

And last of all, in the INDIA VS. PAKISTAN committees, two national security councils will pit
against each other, charging against each other in fierce debates that‟ll determine the future of
Indo-Pakistani relations.

A WORD OF CAUTION,
WYMC is not your normal MUN experience. During your three days at WYMC, you will experience
the power of debate, of negotiation, of conflict within your committees, at a level unparalleled in
other conferences. Preparation will be absolutely necessary for WYMC.

So prepare, be active during this workshop, learn from this experience, and get ready for WYMC!

II. THE LEGISLATIVE PROCESS
WORLD YOUTH MODEL CONGRESS 2010

WYMC, at its very core, is a simulation of the United States Government. This means that
participants for WYMC will play as representatives or senators, and will get to experience first
hand the long legislative process of how an idea becomes a bill, and how a bill becomes a law in
the United States.

The United States is based on the concept of separation of powers, that no single institution or
person should hold all the power, that power should be divided among different people, so that
true democracy can be fostered. Because of this, the legislative process can be long and complicated,
involving many different institutions.

1. The Idea
All bills start with an idea. With a problem or issue at hand, AN IDEA
people think of solutions to solve the problem.

Problem: A factory is dumping waste into a local river.

Idea: The polluting factory should pay more taxes.

2. The Bill
A Senator or Representative takes the idea and writes it into A BILL
a bill. He then submits it for debate in Congress.

Bill: All factories that pollutes local water sources will pay
10% more taxes.

3. Committee Debate
Congress is divided into two chambers, the House of COMMITTEES
Representatives and the Senate. These two chambers
contain smaller committees, all focused on a specific issue.

These committees will debate on the bill, determining

whether to pass the bill or not.

Debate: Senate Committee on Environment and Public

Works debates on the bill. FULL SESSIONS

4. Full Session Debate

If the bill passes in a committee, Congress as a whole will get
to debate on the Committee. One chamber at a time, each
chamber will gather during a full session to debate on the
bills. If the bill passes in one chamber, it goes to the other
chamber for debate. WHITE HOUSE
Debate: The bill goes to Full Senate for debate, it passes,
then it goes to the House of Representatives for debate.

5. White House
After the bill passes in both the Senate and the House of
Representatives, it goes to the President for approval. The A LAW
President can sign it into law, or he can veto it. If the president
vetoes the law, it must go back to congress and be debated

4
again for it to become a law.

5. A Law
Once a bill passes both Congress and the White House, it becomes law.

5
III. HOW TO WRITE A BILL
WORLD YOUTH MODEL CONGRESS 2010
So we now know how a bill becomes a law, the question now is, how do we write a bill?

All bills will require to address the Five Ws and One H. In other words, your bill will need to
specify Who, What, When, Where, Why, and How.

1. Who?
Who submitted the bill? Who will the bill effect? Who will implement and enforce the measures
outlined in the bill? Who will pay for the costs?

2. What?
What will the bill do? What changes will the bill bring? What will the government have to do? What
will citizens have to do? What penalties will there be?

3. When?
When will the bill take effect? When will citizens have to comply with the bill?

4. Where?
Where will the bill have jurisdiction? Where will the bill be enforced?

5. Why?
Why is the bill needed? Why are the changes needed? Why should the government use tax money
for this bill?

6. How?
How is the bill going to be implemented and enforced? How will the bill be monitored? How much
will the changes cost? How will it be funded?

Your bill should be divided into three sections. The basic information, the preamble, and the
clauses.

Basic Information: Your committee, the name, delegation and party of the main author, list of
co-submitting authors and their delegations and parties, and the title

Preamble: Provides the reasons and justifications for the bills passage. Should cover the Why
section outlined above. Always begin with the word “Whereas...”

Clauses: Should be separated into sections and sub-sections. This outlines what the bill will do,
who will do it, and where and when it‟ll happen. Each proposed idea should be a section, while
more specific numbers should be in sub-sections.

“This committee will now vote on (motion/bill X), representatives/senators in favor of this
(motion/bill X) say aye. (Pause) Those in opposition say nay.” The motion passes only when one
side has an obvious and overwhelming majority over the other. When a majority is easily
distinguishable, announce “The ayes/nays have it, and this (motion/bill) passes/fails”.

3. If the voice vote produces ambiguous results, or if a rep/sen raises a “Motion for a record vote”,
the committee will move for a record vote. The Chair will announce “This committee will now
have a record vote on (motion/bill X). Reps/Sens saying aye, please raise your placards high. Those
saying nay, please raise your placards.”

4. Alternatively, if the voice vote produces ambiguous results, or if a rep/sen raises a “Motion for a
roll call vote”, the committee will move for a roll call vote. The Chair will announce “This
committee will now have a roll call vote. The Chair will call out states/delegations in alphabetical
order. When I call out your state/delegation, please answer aye or nay.”
Starting from a random state/delegation, go through each participant and tally each vote. Roll call
votes are only allowed for votes on bills or amendments.

## and the nays are ##, the ayes/nays have it, and this (motion/bill) passes/fails.”

6. A motion/bill requiring a simple majority passes if the aye votes exceeds the nay votes. A
motion/bill requiring a ⅔ majority passes if the aye votes equals or exceeds twice the nay votes.

7. There will be no separate call for abstentions. Representatives/Senators not voting will be
considered as abstention votes but will not be tallied or called.
