The special election became significant to the reform debate because of its effects on the legislative process. The first was psychological: the symbolic importance of losing Kennedy 's traditionally Democratic Massachusetts seat made many Congressional Democrats concerned about the political cost of passing a bill. The second effect was more practical: the loss of the Democratic supermajority complicated reform proponents ' legislative strategy. President Obama signing the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act on March 23, 2010 Brown 's election meant

Everyone wanted him to do a second term but he only did one. He really let people talk and listened to the problems. John Adams had a hard presidency many people didn 't agree with him. First his Vice President was on the opposing side which made it hard. He raised many new taxes and increased the power of the central government which many didn 't like.

Trump has encouraged mainly his supporters to act out vocally and physically which is becoming increasingly concerning. A president is supposed to be a authoritative figure whom stops racism instead of spreading it. However, the president has far lower power than imagined. It is vital that the state intervene in situations like so to prevent such racism by implementing new laws that correspond with the every growing power of social media and advertisements. President Trump is utterly disliked by a huge number of people worldwide, there has also been a petition sign by thirty thousand Irish people voting against his visit to

Filibusters were not a common thing before the civil war because the senate was a lot smaller and they did not have the responsibilities like they do now. They had all the time to wait out their opponent’s filibuster and the senate were not all that polar. It was not until civil rights when the senate got really polarized and used filibuster to oppose civil right bills. This continued with “election law, nominations, even appointment of Senate officers.” Whenever filibuster happens, the leaders tries to put an end to it, and ban the unlimited debate time. But because the minority loves this advantage they had, they would use filibuster to stop the passing of a filibuster ban bill.

Term Limitation of Congress In America, it is a constant debate whether members of congress should be term-limited. Many people believe that the current members of congress have been in their position for too long and are subject to prejudices and old ideas. Although, the terms of house and senate should not be limited due to the fact that, the power to change a representative is in our hands as well as we, as a country, do not need a congress with little experience. A lot of people believe that getting a congressman they do not like voted out is a myth. This is because in the past as well as now, the majority of some districts do not pay enough attention to know that someone does not deserve their position.

He came into office at a time where the government was viewed as corrupted due to the previous presidents, such as Ford and Nixon. Carter came into office wanting to fix this point of view of the government and bring America back to the top. He failed miserably. He wanted to make politics more transparent and he wanted to control everything he could. He expected for congress to help him with this.

This misfortune is as shocking as anything terrorists can perpetrate, because it hits at the core of humanity and our country. It takes the lives of precious individuals that bind our country together. You are not seeing that this is a war in our country; instead you are worrying about why the men are making the decisions for the women: “it seems so arrogant and callous for men - who dominate state and federal governments and judgeships - to make decisions about what women may or may not do with their bodies and the life that grows inside them.” The men dominate the governments because women tend not to run, and someone has to get the job, “men are more than 60 percent more likely to run for office than women” (American University). The data was taken from a survey by the American University to show that women tend to not run for state and federal offices simply because they do not have confidence or do not care to run. Therefore, men take the initiative and run for state and federal offices.

The legislators have become insensitive to the needs of the less fortunate when it comes to the health and welfare of citizens. Big powerful special interest groups have interfered with politicians’ decision to do what’s right; it appears that the political system has become corrupted and money plays a big role in their decision and money is very influential in getting the legislators to pass bills. One would believe that our politicians are making the battles between the political parties personally; it appear that if the parties don’t agree with another, they resort to drastic measures such as shutting down the government causing more hardship on

One as a young adult always complains about how one has different ideas that are able to work to change the real government style, but they are rarely portrayed in the society. At the same time, different kind of questions are always made towards the government and they are rarely portrayed. Because of the different types of questions that one and the media can argue about, they are arranged as public questions and a reporter’s type of question. Fallows describes in his article Why Americans Hate the Media what specific questions are made by both, the public and the reporter. Talking about the public “the citizens asked overwhelmingly about the game of politics” (Game, Fallows).

struggled with its form of government, along with who was involved in the decision making for the people, but Progressivism and its ideas took action to make a change for the greater good. Early off before progressive ideas began to take action within the government, there was an over abundance of corruption and greedy leaders inside the core of our government and its hierarchy. This results in a poor country for the entirety of the early 20th century until progressivism comes along with its new ideas to decrease the corruption in the U.S., and its policies to make our government stronger and more focused on the people. Once it finally gets its chance after the Great Depression and World War, people finally realize the vastly fulfilling effects it has on their lives, it begins to blow up. It gains popularity and thrives during the 20th century up till now during the early 21st century with the Obama administration.

Most of our leaders in government were elected to make decisions on society’s behalf, and the people of our country will never respect someone selling empty promises and unrealistic dreams. This is especially true when it comes to the presidency and campaigns. Often presidential candidates will try to cover up their mistakes. They will attempt to rewrite history to appear perfect to the voters. This is a poor strategy.

Surprisingly, lobbying is a constitutional right protected by the First Amendment. Thus, it is very hard to ban this historical practice of doing business even though it is obviously corrupt. Another reason lobbying is difficult to stop is many public servants end up working for a lobbying group after their time on the hill. Job offers are a common tactic used by lobbyists to get more influence and trust from congressional staffers. An investigation done by Sunlight Foundation found that from the years 2009-2011, 41% of former congressional staff found their next employment at a lobbying firm (Doctorow) This form of nepotism is creating a “revolving door” keeping corrupt officials involved in our political

That the acceptance of misinformation has some other external cause. This state of mind is a relatively recent development, that is especial prevalent in younger generations. This is due to an abundant of conservative politicians that were strongly opposed to Barack Obama due to his race and liberal views. Since his presidency lasted for such an extended period, the false information spread about Obama, like his citizenship being forged, became common and accepted in the minds of people that held a distaste for him. This is shown in Weeks research, Emotions, Partisanship, and Misperceptions: How Anger and Anxiety Moderate the Effect of Partisan Bias on Susceptibility to Political Misinformation, that in 2013, 64% of Republicans said it was “probably true” that Obama was hiding information about his birth place, and that 58% of Republicans expressed anger at Obama (713).

And they needed something to ensure that the major population centers, all of which existed on 'business ' fare more than agriculture and other earthy endeavors, couldn 't control this one and only national election endlessly. Thus, the Electoral College. Take away the Electoral College today and it is likely that you would wind up with one very powerful party the democrats and one far-less powerful party...the republicans. At best. this isn 't because the electoral college favors the republicans, though.

The popularity of the members of Congress and Congress overall has been declining as the years pass and time changes. The dissatisfaction and disapproval of the public is so high because according to David Mayhew who wrote Congress the Electoral Connection members of Congress are single-minded people who are only focused on reelection, involve in “smart” behavior such as position taking, credit-claiming and advertisement. Also, according to Mayhew parties are weak, however, that is all not true people tend to vote more so for their party than the person in general.
