Senators every few years or so take it to the brink over use of the chamber’s delightfully arcane and complicated rules and procedures. Members of the august chamber fret and fume and spit and claw, while the rest of the world tries to figure out what a motion to proceed is.

Editors will pick five finalists on Wednesday, and then everyone can vote for the winner until Thursday evening.

The winner gets a signed print from illustrator R.J. Matson.
