God's Congress

God's Congress is a policy making body that passes moral legislation on behalf of God himself. The members of God's Congress exemplify the highest standards of God's virtues, nixo-facto they have been chosen to codify those virtues for the rest of humanity. This elect group of lawmakers earned membership in God's Congress in various ways, but they share the common trait of having once served time as secular public servants in the "training ground" of America's Congress before moving on to higher and better chambers. Unlike America's Congress, however, God's Congress is unicameral. After all, there is only one God; why, then, would He need two houses of Congress?
