Today’s R&D is brought to you by Prepd (pronounced “prepped”). Prepd is building debate technology that helps extempers and congressional debaters research, practice, and compete. Visit www.prepd.in to learn more.

Over the next month and a half, Extemp Central will provide R&Ds on the topic areas for the 2022 NSDA National Tournament.  USX topic areas will have R&Ds posted on Tuesday & Thursday and IX topic areas will have R&Ds posted on Tuesday & Friday.  This is meant to help extempers assemble resources to prepare for the competition in Louisville.  This week we tackle USX topic area #5 on the executive branch.
