Koohii Story 1 Censure is the political equivalent of a "strongly worded letter," according to Cornell's School of Law. It is a flex of muscle by congress against the current president, but it is a very weak one. Imagine censure as congress flexing as hard as it can, only to have a little acorn-sized bump of muscle pop up suddenly.
Koohii Story 2 Acorn Power is the people´s way to CENSURE a congressman you don´t agree with. Pelt your Senator with acorns today.
