Why this Big Question exists
A Big Question opens only when a live, callable bill or Senate nomination meets published criteria: a government scheduling or floor-action signal, or press coverage from outlets across the spectrum, within the last 45 days.
The qualifying signal
This Big Question retires when the question is settled — every bill signed, vetoed, or dead, and every nomination confirmed, returned, or withdrawn. Settled Big Questions stay readable, marked resolved; they never reopen.
