July 22, 2015 I'm going to start today to record on a daily basis whatever happens to strike my fancy. So, it is a very cool breezy day. I just posted 5 short book reviews to The Monthly Reading Challenge. I'm suppose to put away some winter wood today from the woodpile outside but I'm playing hookey from work to write so starting this blog will get done. I'm having a daily fight with a flock of English Sparrows that are trying to take over my barn. They are making a terrible mess so they have to go. I have destroyed several nests so far they don't leave but they get out of the barn when I am around. I'm just starting the fight so I guess I don't know how far I have to go to discourage them. I'm trying not to spread myself to thin on WDC because I find so many things that are interesting here and I am trying to work on a new story. I really enjoy sitting at my desk with a cup of tea and reading blogs on WDC. |
The United States Electoral College is the institution that elects the President and Vice President of the United States every four years. Citizens of the United States do not directly elect the president or the vice president; From: Wikipedia about the Constitution of the USA. The present struggle about the supreme court nomination is seated in the constitutional language. The words advise and consent are being used to delay the Presidential nomination until a new President is elected. The constitution was written with checks and balances so no particular branch of the USA government has too much power. The struggle starts within when one group believes certain ideas over another group and when those groups both reside within the elected body that is housing the argument. The government was built to go through these types of struggles. 1. The President nominates a candidate 2. The Senate Judiciary Committee holds a series of hearings. (They were televised the last time.) 3. Within the hearings Questions are asked. A. The candidate answers B. Witnesses answer 4. The Senate Judiciary Committee votes to send the nomination to the full US Senate. 5. If the Senate confirms the President formally appoints the candidate to the court. Just put this up because this is the way the 2016 is going and it gives me a basis of thought about news article. Have a great day. It is raining here so I guess I'll read.  apondia#1781748 apondia#1781748 |
