Legislator

inclined to develop expertise in policy areas on the basis that they could only serve in leadership positions for very short periods. These reforms would weaken the legislature as an institution and result in a much more powerful executive branch and legislators would be more susceptible to interest groups. New and inexperienced members would be more vulnerable to the influence of lobby groups especially at the campaign stage as more competitive elections would require more financial capital…

extreme naturalism throughout their dialogue, Cratylus still argues that etymology (the study of word origins) is the only reliable path for the pursuit of knowledge. Socrates however doubts Cratylus by pointing out: the degree of trust given to legislators (ones that have the power to name things), where they got their knowledge from and the coherence of word(s) being right and wrong consistently throughout changes and transitions of language (flux). Thus for Socrates, nothing in flux could be…

path and you're willing to keep walking, eventually you'll make progress. -Barack Obama When I think about what makes a great president, a few qualities come to mind.

A large part of its attractiveness is in its simplicity. If the problem is that legislators remain in office too long, the reasoning goes, then the clear solution is to place a hard limit on the number of years a House member or senator can serve. While the thought of ditching “career politicians” for noble “citizen legislators” seems a solution, this response both fails to deal with the issue at hand and has possibly disastrous consequences for the legislature…

Towards the end of the Wizard of Oz movie, while the whole Yellow Brick Road gang was being addressed by the Great and Powerful Wizard of Oz, the dog Toto ran off to the side, pulled back on a curtain, and showed that a normal-looking humbug of a person was operating cranks and levers. For a short while, the normal-looking man kept yanking levers and cranking cranks, and said into the microphone (which made the Great and Powerful Wizard speak the same words) "Pay no attention to that man behind…

The STOP ERA campaign was skilled in swaying public opinion on the ERA because of its prolific newsletters invoking ideals of religion, family, and custom; exaggerated interpretations of the amendment to create fear over the ERA; and efficacy in campaign events. Through the Eagle Forum, Schlafly wrote three different publications: The Eagle Forum, first published in 1972, The Phyllis Schlafly Report, published monthly since 1967 through her death in 2016, and The Education Reporter (Critchlow…

government is willing to spare. In the Medicare Catastrophic Coverage case, deliberation over how the government could afford to expand Medicare without adding to the federal deficit was the major issue in passing Medicare expansion legislation. Legislators had to find creative ways to get elderly Americans the benefits they need without risking a veto from the president. The resulting legislation was step in right direction.
