Good evening, ladies and gentlemen! Welcome to the Nyman Weekly Presidential debate. We have with us former Senators Truman and Leinad, who are locked in a heated battle for the White House in the first post-ratification Presidential election. Myself and Senator Smith will be your moderators.

The debate will consist of three 24-hour rounds: opening statements, questions, and rebuttals. Candidates, please post opening statements within 24 hours.

(Questions and formatting were mutually created by myself and Senator Smith.)

Well, better late than never Tongue. Here are the questions: candidates have 24 hours to post responses.

To both candidates:

Over the years since ISIS was formed, it has become a major threat to Atlasia and its people. The group even attacked several Atlasian cities before the new Constitution was passed. How would you address ISIS in your term as president?

To Leinad:

While we're on the topic of foreign policy, there has been some debate over trade in general, and more specifically tariffs. Do you believe tariffs should be raised, lowered, or stay at the same level?

To both:

Atlasia has suffered from severe inactivity lately -- from inactive officeholders to vacant offices. It has caused several crises, including one in the Pacific that required federal intervention. If elected, how would you increase activity?

To Truman:

The Federal Reserve has kept interest rates on loans her low for some time. As President, would you pursue an increase in these interest rates? Would you maintain the same rates? What policy would you pursue?

Okay, rebuttals time. I'll try and be "hands-off" here to foster some good debate, but keep it civil.

You may rebut your opponent's answers as you wish.

If the candidates are willing to answer tmth's questions, I'm fine with this. We planned a short debate because we thought the election was going to be held last weekend and didn't want to creep into balloting.
