Lower house

The prime minister is chosen by the majority in the lower house and approved by a two-thirds majority in the upper house in order to avoid total party dominance. He or she, in turn, chooses the cabinet members. The upper house elects the president with a two thirds majority, and while the president is mainly a ceremonial role, he or she plays a crucial role in the inner workings of the government. Firstly, the president acts as a tiebreaker in the upper house, only voting when needed. Secondly, in a time of crisis, which can be declared by a two-thirds majority in the upper house, the cabinet has a two-week period to take action and get that action approved by a simple majority in both the upper and lower houses. If the cabinet fails, he president gains power and can use executive orders to deal with the situation quickly and effectively. The president is given a two-week period, after which the lower house votes on whether or not the crisis has ended. If it has not, power goes back to the cabinet and the system cycles through again. Since the president was elected by the upper house, an establishment from which all have equal footing, idealistically this woman or man should be a moderate, level-headed person who has experience in politics and can deal with extreme situations wisely and effectively. Even with…

The lower house in a bicameral system is based proportionally on the given population of each faction, while the upper house represents the different factions or provinces in general…

British parliament has a two house system. This bicameral structure includes a house of lords and a house of commons. The house of lords is made out of people who inherited the position or were elected by the monarch and prime minister, while the House of Commons consists of members elected by the people. The house of lords has very small influence in the British government. The most useful action they can perform is to delay a law brought up by the house commons. It is delayed for up to a year,…

what she was singing. Amy Winehouse kept close to herself. On the stage and off the stage she was one of the artists that didn`t care what people thought about her. She kept close to herself and sang about her own problems, about the addiction she was facing because she was drinking and couldn`t stop doing so. “Her breakthrough album, back to black, is one of the great records of the early 21st century, and it is sublime precisely because it is about suffering: the ugly intimacies of addiction”…

However, many problems can affect a dispatcher’s ability to do their job which can end in disaster for the person on the other end of the line. The 911 dispatch centers, also known as public safety answering points or PSAPs do their best, but sometimes these obstacles…

always encouraged me to read and learn from what I was reading. As for my dad, he grew up on the island of Trinidad and his english wasn’t the best so neither was he your average bookworm. From what I'm told I was only one years old when I first started to show interest in reading. Instead of only getting Lego sets and a Barbie Dream House for Christmas I got the Leap Frog book reader. Instead of getting thousands of princess dresses I got thousands of books. All different books, all about…
