Advantages Of Setting Term Limits
The more experience one has, the better he will be at doing what is best for the country. With such a large and complicated federal bureaucracy, members are most effective - and most resistant to special interests - when they are most knowledgeable. They feel that setting limits is undemocratic. They don't understand why the officials cannot be rewarded or reprimanded for their work. They think setting term limits is a horrible idea, no matter what way you look at it.

    Pros And Cons Of No Term Limits On Supreme Court Justices

    Although their are pro's and con's for each argument, I believe that it is better for the country to have no term limits on supreme court justices. It seems to me that the problems term limits cause, such as strategic retirement, are preferable to the alternative possibility, that the justices begin making decisions based on what would best help their personal careers in the…

    How Did Hoover Lose The Power Of Government

    Congress delegated powers to them because they are too busy doing other stuff, so they find it favorable to have these bureaucrats to create and dictate most often arbitrary rules and regulations against the will of the Supreme law of the land. These agencies are working as an amalgam that is taken the responsibilities of the legislative, the executive, and the statutory which could jeopardize the stability and the separation of powers left by the Fathers of the Constitution. As President Harry Truman once declared, “I thought I was the president, but when it comes to these bureaucrats, I can’t do a damn thing.” (The House of…

    Advantages Of The 12th Amendment

    The Constitution gave each state a number of electors equal to the combined total of its membership in the Senate and the House of Representatives. The original method of electing the President and Vice President had proved to be unworkable, and was replaced by the 12th Amendment. The 12th amendment was ratified in 1804. Under the original system, each elector cast two votes for President and no vote for Vice President. The votes were counted; the candidate receiving the most, provided it was a majority of the number of electors, was elected President, and the runner-up became Vice President. The 12th Amendment replaced this system with separate ballots for President and Vice President, with electors casting a single vote for each…

    Analyze the factors that have led to the decline in party influence in Congress.

    In Congress, reforms democratized or 'opened up' selection procedures to broader participation. Senior members found themselves surrendering committee chairmanships to unknown newcomers. Whips found it harder to enforce party discipline and junior members increasingly pursued their own personal projects to gain media attention and impress their constituency voters. Congress members have much to gain, in publicity and in tangible rewards (grants for their constituencies) from unpredictable behavior.…

    Pros And Cons Of The Tenure System

    This chart breaks down the major pro and con arguments regarding the tenure system and its effect on teachers. One example is that the system attempts to increase innovation in teachers and instead encourages complacency in teachers. Another would be the flawed system and its policy of “last-hired, first-fired” which bases layoffs on seniority. Some would argue that the system prevents firing experienced teachers to save money on hiring younger teachers. Due to that notion, the firing process becomes overly complicated and can extend to nearly a year of legal dispute between the principal, the school board, the teachers union, and court. The costly process results in some schools not even bothering to fire inadequate teachers in order to avoid…

    Should Congress Have Term Limits

    Did you know it is technically possible for someone to hold a position in Congress for a long as they wanted? For years, term limits have been a very sensitive topic in discussion as it is a debatable issue that contains two different sides; there should be term limits and there shouldn't be any term limits. Perspective one, which is in favor of term limits, explains how corruption and bad power influence would be limited. Perspective two, which is not in favor of term limits, states that experience matters more and that it needs to be preserved in Congress. There should be term limits in Congress to ensure less corruption, less personal gain, and more fresh ideas.…

    Essay On Supreme Court Term Limits

    The Supreme Court needs younger judges to function better. The supreme courts judges will not function very well because they are missing one judge out of nine judges. For example “Antonin Scalia suffered from coronary artery disease, obesity and diabetes” and this shows that the Supreme Court will not function properly with old judges. Therefore, term limits are a great idea because younger judges are less likely to have any medical problems that will interfere with their job. 10-20 years is long enough for a judge to build up genuine exercise and genuine powers and the majority of Americans are in favor.…

    Struggle Between Political Parties

    The executive branch is a series of bodies, both chosen by the president and independently sanctioned, who are tasked with helping administer the law and generally help the President reach his enumerated task of “taking care to see that the laws are faithfully executed”. The executives functions range from ensuring safety to regulating interest rates, spans from the oval office to field offices around the country, and is consistent of career politicians, policy experts, and independent officers. The size of the bureaucratic system in place has been an ongoing debate in American politics. Some argue that the amount of people employed by the federal government is too large, while others believe that it is proportionately small to a country of our size. Debate aside, one thing is certain: Americans rely on bureaus on a daily basis, and the positions that oversee these services offered are too necessary to the “American Dream” to be toyed around with, or given to an unqualified or undedicated administrator. Law is important, it is what we are rooted in and what gives us a standing in this world. But law is only written, and it is not officially law until brought to fruition by a capable…
