⚖️ Separation of Powers Policy Space: 2D Map

Interactive 2D spatial model of lawmaking: legislators, president and court sit in a policy plane and a bill must beat the status quo through House, Senate filibuster, veto and judicial review; the green winset shows what can pass and repeated laws drive policy into gridlock.
