   • Otherwise continue...
4. If 50% or less voted JA!, the election failed:
   • Next player becomes PRESIDENT
   • 3 failures in a row = the top policy is enacted (without actions)

4. CHANCELLOR discards (secretly) 1 and the other is enacted
   • ​If 5 FASCIST policies have already been enacted, CHANCELLOR can agree with PRESIDENT to veto​. In that case run another election (counts as failed election).
