Question resolves to YES if Joe Biden signs into law a federal protection for same-sex marriage before the midterm elections on Nov 8th. Purely executive action does not count. Such a bill has currently passed the House at time of this market's creation.

Creator betting policy: I will bet on this as with any other market. 

Jul 21, 7:35am: Joe Biden, or the president at the time should that change for some reason. Fear not any kind of sneaky wording, the question means what it plainly says, there's no shenanigans here. 

Jul 21, 7:39am: also should note, I'm resolving based on what passes into law, not what takes effect. I would still resolve YES if such a bill passed into law but was immediately enjoined by a court, for example. 

Jul 21, 7:51am: last clarification - talking about the United States.
