Only resolves to the next new president after Biden. Current and past presidents who get re-elected don't count.

Resolves YES if a scandal about sexual impropriety that happened in office comes out that hits many of the major news sources while they're still in office, otherwise NO after their term(s) are finished.

As this might resolve after their first term if they don't get re-elected, this won't be re-resolved if they go on to serve split terms and have such a scandal in their second unconnected term.

This question's close date is likely to be extended by future election results.

filled a Ṁ1 NO at 14% order🤖

takeoff.watch forecast: 14%. Since 1969, only Clinton had a sex scandal over conduct while president that broke during his presidency, about 1 in 10. The creator requires both the conduct and the scandal to happen in office. Adding some room for lenient resolution and a possibly long tenure gives about 14%, well below the thin 30% market.

bought Ṁ50 NO

Of the last ten presidents I think only Clinton would qualify, so this should be pretty low.

That depends on what your definition of "while in office" is.

@cloudprism fair! how about: the sex and the scandal. I'll add it above

@Stralor I'm distressed that no one has caught the joke yet...

predictedYES

@cloudprism mm yes under the desk shenanigans (they def count)

@Stralor there is another layer...

If Newsom win the presidency, I feel like the resolution is almost certainly YES 🤣
