English as the National Language Bill
An unfurnished legislative packet invoked as a political weapon rather than a physical text: a proposed statute to declare English the nation’s official language. No paper is shown; staffers flinch at its mention as if it were a live grenade. It exists in argument, reframing strategy and jolting team dynamics.

Purpose
To create a statutory mandate establishing English as the official national language through legislation.
Significance
Functions primarily as rhetorical leverage in debate—threatening to derail White House priorities, escalate partisan conflict, and expose the communications team’s anxiety. The bill’s invocation tests loyalties, sharpens political stakes around nominations and messaging, and catalyzes character reactions.
