The way a bill becomes a law in the United States is by going through the Federal Legislative Process. The process always starts as a set of ideas and then those set of ideas may be proposed either from a citizen like you or a representative. From there if other representatives support that idea then that set of ideas are written down into bills. After that representative has written down that bill then that bill needs a sponsor and some support from other representatives so it can be introduced…
several steps in the lawmaking process. The first step in the process is when the bill is drafted. When people feel that a law is needed, they will try to get representatives of that state to submit it to the national government. This leads to the next step: the law is introduced to the House of Representatives or Senate. From here the bill will be sent to a committee. In this committee they will choose to kill it, which is to say no, or approve it. If approved, the bill will go to the Rules…

Democratic Parties are the two main political parties of the United States. These two parties have very different views, so much that they are almost the opposite of eachother. The two parties agree on very few things, such as sending aid to foreign countries, but they have different views on who they believe the aid should go to. If America is divided by Republicans and Democrats, could we ever come together as a nation and become truly “United” or will these political parties continue to…
candidate, the electors voted for another, leaving the United States in a mist of confusion. A major question was left unanswered, which candidate was the true winner? According to the constitution, the electoral college decides the outcome and represents the people, but as shown in these elections, this was not true.

And bureaucracy is something that our government can definitely be apart of, some of the time. So that means that electing state representatives…
people; it may be dangerous to deal with criminals but it is not an active warzone. Duterte relates the drug war to the United States’ drone strikes. When you bomb a village you intend to kill the militants, but you kill in the process the children there. Why do you say it is collateral damage to the West and to us it is murder? Instead of helping us, the first hit was the State Department. So you can go to hell, Mr. Obama, you can go to hell. I would rather intimidate and strike fear in the…
