374 Words2 Pages

Do you ever run into roadblocks and challenges? Do you ever wonder what this challenge will uncover as you begin to face it? Some challenges are not meant to be solved, but there is a reason behind that. However, in terms of our government as a whole, we need to face issues together. Our biggest challenge facing our new president will be getting our congress to agree and work with our President. Currently, our Congress refutes all that Obama has to say and do. If we want to make sure our country is improving and doing well we need to have all parts of the government working together. If our future president makes sure that our Congress is working with them, the United States will be in good hands. If our new president is Hillary Clinton then,

    Article V of the Constitution states that “The congress…shall propose Amendments to this Constitution”. Amendments to the Constitution are essential and allow for changes in law as times and values change. In today's world, I believe that there are many necessary amendments that should be proposed in order for the supreme law of the land to remain up to date with the values of a modern world.

Those serving in the Senate will be subjected to a maximum of two terms totaling twelve years, those serving in the House of Representatives will be subjected to a

  • Senate Filibusters

    979 Words  | 4 Pages

    There are a few methods or committees that play a part in the lawmaking process; a senate filibuster, House Rules Committee, the Conference Committee, oversight on federal bureaucracy, and casework. Each of these play an integral role in the lawmaking process for a variety of reasons. A senate filibuster allows a senator to prevent or delay action on a bill or other business. The House Rules Committee schedules or manages the flow of legislation, making it easier or more difficult to pass a bill, as well as make the legislative process more efficient. Also, the Conference Committee settles differences in the House and Senate versions of a bill.

  • Filibustering In The Chamber Of Congress

    Tristan Parker Mr. Mccormick AP Government 25 March 2018 Analysis 2 In the Congress of the United States, the majority party will have substantial influence over making legislation. Even though the majority party has a larger numerical amount of Representatives and Senators in the chambers of Congress, there is no security that the majority party’s legislation will be passed in both the House of Representatives and the Senate. In addition to the majority party having the numerical advantage in the House of Representatives, they also have, control over the Speaker of the House and over all the Standing Committees. Though the Majority party may have the numerical Representative advantage, each chamber of Congress has a different variation of “rules” to abide by when making legislation and these can greatly affect legislation being passed or not.

    Hello my name is Ben Trammell and today I will be speaking about how congressional term limits would build a congress of little experience. Would you put term limits on policemen so they have no incentive to become corrupt? If so, then your police force would be filled with inexperienced rookies who would then make bad decisions due to their lack of experience. Congress would work the same way, they would have they same problem with rookie congressmen and women. If we impose these term limits we will be replacing a wiser man (that knows what to do) with an inexperienced man (who doesn 't know what to do).

  • Essay On Congressional Term Limits

    700 Words  | 3 Pages

    Congressional term limits have been what restricted the amount of time that anyone can work in office whether it be to a representative, senator, or even the president. People have debated over keeping or losing the term limits, since each come with their own benefits and faults at the same time. In the argument for term limits, some may argue that they are necessary because, “Congress will be more responsible toward their constituents because they will soon be constituents themselves” (Weeks). The validity in this statement proves to be one of the strongest arguments because the creation of laws is mean to serve all people, and if the people in office had complete immunity, it would serve unfair and unjust to the rest of society. For this reason, it always will make those in office consider how impactful and
