Resolution criteria
Exactly one option resolves Yes based on events confirmed by November 30, 2026, 23:59 UTC. A = the U.S. federal government has actually issued $5,000 checks or equivalent direct payments to U.S. citizens under a nationwide program; proposals, campaign promises and authorization without issuance do not qualify. B = certified 2026 midterm election results establish Republican control of at least one chamber of Congress (House majority or Senate majority, including the vice-presidential tie-breaking vote where applicable); projections alone do not qualify. Checks only = A true and B false. Republican control only = A false and B true. Both = A true and B true. Neither = A false and B false. If official evidence is insufficient to determine either event at the deadline, leave unresolved pending verification; do not treat missing evidence as non-occurrence. Sources: official U.S. Treasury or federal payment-program records and official state election certifications and congressional records. All other options resolve No.
