...voters of each state to elect the President and Vice President of the United States”. The Electoral College system has been a staple in the United States since the ratification of The Constitution, however there is much debate on whether it should remain or be done away with completely. In this essay, I will give a brief history on the Electoral College, how it works, and why it was created in the first place. Despite the shortcomings and limitations of the Electoral College I believe that it should not be abolished because it contributes to the cohesiveness of the country, it maintains a federal system of government, and it maintains the interests of minority groups. To begin with, I will discuss how the Electoral College works. The Electoral College operates by having each state allocate a number of electors equal to the number of its U.S. Senators (always 2) along with the number of its U.S. Representatives (varies from state to state depending on its population). Next, after all their caucuses and primaries, each party nominates their candidates for president and vice president. After that, the people from each state vote for a party’s slate of electors. Whichever party slate gains the most popular votes becomes the slate of electors for that state. Then, the electors meet in their respective state’s capitol and cast their votes for president and vice president. Finally, the candidate for president with the most electoral votes is declared president and the same rule applies for...

...few qualifications that one must meet to run for congress. They are: must be at least 25 years old and must have been a US citizen for at least 7 years. There is no limit on the number of terms one can serve in the house of representatives and by contract the senate members can only serve six terms. It is said that roughly 1/3 of the senate stand for reelection every two years. The duties and responsibilities do differ among the two divisions of congress. The senate has to give its approval if many of the appointment, by the president. This approval includes but is not limited to the appointment of cabinet officers, federal judges, department secretaries and US military and naval officers. Congress powers are limited to the enumerated powers on the specific right, given to it by the Constitution of the United States. Congress also has the power to impeach the president of the United States. Even though congress as a whole can impeach the president, both divisions have a different role in this process. Within congress there are congressional committee created to draft legislation and conduct congressional investigations. Each division has the power to name special/ select committee for the purpose to study specific problems....

...Electoral College. Each representative of each state, both senators and representatives, cast a vote for the President based on the wants of their constituents. This is the basis for the Electoral College; however our forefathers had little insight into the problems that can arise from crafting a quick solution to the problem of electing the commander-in-chief. Over the past 200 years, many changes have been made to the Electoral College when a problem has risen to give us the Electoral College of today. The people of the United States have seen what the Electoral College has become and want the election process to change into a popular vote system. The popular vote system isn’t the answer. Only a combination of the two systems will help to give fair representation to all of the states, while keeping the essence of majority rule that the people desire. This system includes a single vote for districts that are won by popular vote, getting rid of the human form of electors, and using today’s technology to make it easier to maneuver through the complexities of the voting process. The Electoral College: How Our System of Elections Needs to be Changed When our country was first created, a debate emerged on how to elect the President of our country. Many ideas were expressed but our forefathers decided on an Electoral College that cast the votes for the President instead of the people. For 226 years we’ve used this process with some controversy and with hardly any changes...

...The Battle Biased Against Women In American history, the battle between Congress and the president has never stopped for even one second. The check and balance system guarantees both Congress and the president can oversee each other`s powers and veto its opponent`s decisions. Especially when the ideas come from female, Congress is always hard to be persuaded on these opinions. In the very beginning, there was no business related to women in this inherent war because those sexist founding fathers did not give voting right to female voters. After ladies got right to vote from the Amendment XIX of the Constitution, American women thought that they finally have same discourse power equal to men. However, actually, even in today, it is harder for any female candidate to compete for power than a male candidate. It is because that the whole government system, which includes legislative, executive, and judicial, is biased against women. And people can easily find the evidence from Hillary Clinton, Sarah Palin, and Elena Kagan`s experience and encounters. Congress had defeated Hillary Clinton`s healthcare bill when she was still First Lady. This tarnished her reputation considerably, and was looked upon as a rebuke from Congress. The 1993 reform of health care was considered a bill would be submitted by Congress by most citizens. However, after an over one year debate, neither the Senate nor the House wanted to enact First Lady`s proposal into the law. Republican senators Bob Dole...

...You are experienced in information management and its benefits and challenges. You manage online accounts across multiple mobile devices and computers—and social media, texts, photos, videos, music, docs, address books, events, downloads, and other content that make up your digital library. Not being able to transfer and synchronize whenever you add a device or app is annoying and inefficient. To simplify add-ons, upgrades, sharing, and access, you might leverage cloud services such as iTunes, Instagram, Diigo, and Box.net. At some point, a user may want to start over with the latest mobile device—and re-organize everything to make dealing with information and devices easier. That's a glimpse at the information management situations facing organizations today—and why a plan is needed to guide, control, and govern IT growth. As with building construction (e.g., Figure 2.1), blueprints and models help guide and govern IT assets. Image from book Figure 2.1: Blueprints and models, like those used for building construction, are needed to guide and govern an enterprise's IT assets. To better reflect organizational content, the term information management is used instead of data management. The most potentially valuable and challenging type is human information—the semistructured or unstructured content generated by humans from social media, mobile devices, search engines, and sensors as well as texts, images, audio, and video.

...WEEK 8 Grantham University BA460 Abstract Complete a 1 to 2 page paper in APA format (plus cover sheet and reference page) that briefly describes the PR campaign each candidate conducted in the last presidential election. Was the campaign a success or failure? Defend your position. The United States presidential election of 2012 was the 57th quadrennial presidential election. It was held on Tuesday, November 6, 2012. The Democratic nominee, incumbent President Barack Obama, and his running mate, Vice President Joe Biden, were elected to a second term, defeating the Republican nominee, former Governor of Massachusetts Mitt Romney, and his running mate, Representative Paul Ryan of Wisconsin. Romney’s campaign made a series of costly financial, strategic, and political mistakes that, in retrospect, all but assured the candidate’s defeat, given the revolutionary turnout tactics and tactical smarts of President Obama’s operation. This Rich Beeson, the Romney political director said that only after the election did he realize what Obama was doing with so much manpower on the ground. Obama had more than 3,000 paid workers nationwide, compared with 500 for Romney, and hundreds of thousands of volunteers. Which gave Obama the advantage of literally creating a one to one contact with voters, which the Romney staff could not compete with. Romney allowed the other side to define him & his GOP agenda despite a miserable economic record and negative advertising. The effect...

The electors according to the constitution are responsible for electing the President and Vice President of the United States.

...RUNNING HEAD: Political Cartoon 1 Political Cartoon Christine Livingston CJA 324 August 13, 2012 Lawrence Avallone POLITCAL CARTOON 2 [pic](“About.com”, 2008). Before the debates began, Cheney and Scalia recently were seen on a duck hunting trip in the same place at the same time. I would have to disagree that the 2 were actually hunting together. The picture suggests that the 2 were duck hunting together as friends. Scalia objected to several demands to not get involved in a case in which Vice President Dick Cheney was involved in. Scalia mocked criticism that suggested because the two were seen on a hunting trip Scalia would be biased toward Cheney which is supposedly his long time friend. “A rule that required members of this court to remove themselves from cases in which the official actions of friends were at issue would be utterly disabling,'' Justice Scalia wrote. During the hunting trip to Louisiana, which the memorandum said involved 13 hunters as well as Mr. Cheney's security detail, ``I never hunted in the same blind with the vice president,'' he said. POLITICAL CARTOON 3 “Nor was I alone with him at any time during the trip,'' he continued, “except, perhaps, for instances so brief and unintentional that I would not recall them walking to or from a boat, perhaps, or going to or from dinner.
