In an unprecedented move that has left constitutional scholars scratching their heads, Congress has passed the "Lyrical Law Act," requiring all future legislation to be written in rhyme.
The bill passed with a vote of 420-69, with supporters arguing that laws would be "more memorable and fun to read."
House Speaker Margaret Verse read the bill aloud during the final vote:
"Whereas the people do decree, That laws should rhyme from A to Z, No more shall Congress be so dull, Our verses now will be quite full."
Senator Bob Couplet, the bill's primary sponsor, was emotional during his statement: "This is a victory for poetry. A victory for democracy. They both end in 'y,' and that's not a coincidence."
Critics argue the requirement will slow down the legislative process. "How are we supposed to pass emergency funding when we're stuck trying to rhyme 'appropriations'?" asked one frustrated representative.
The Supreme Court is expected to review the bill, though Chief Justice Roberts has reportedly been seen with a rhyming dictionary.
