Order of Business

Problem: Many delegates leave as soon as our Presidential and Vice-Presidential nominees have been chosen.

Solution: Move selection of our Presidential and Vice-Presidential candidates to later in the convention. This ensures that we'll maintain a quorum for all important business. It will also give our delegates more time to decide which Presidential and Vice-Presidential candidates to support.
