WHAT THE BILL DOES
AI-writtenThe most directly affected would be members of Congress, as their workplace could temporarily shift from Washington D.C. This might involve new logistical arrangements for their staff, security, and legislative activities. Additionally, the American public could be indirectly affected by ensuring that their elected representatives can continue to legislate and conduct government business without interruption, especially during national emergencies or crises that might impact the capital city.
