The ruling Pheu Thai party aims to pass an amended amnesty bill that would grant a blanket reprieve to all those involved in political unrest, including protest leaders and authorities responsible for crackdowns. The bill's critics believe it is intended to help former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra avoid punishment for corruption by invalidating past rulings against him and returning his seized 46 billion baht assets. Lawyers and academics warn the blanket amnesty approach could lead to political confrontation as it does not distinguish between offenders.

reporting chervs
Public office is a position of trust created by law to exercise portions of governmental authority for the benefit of the public. Key aspects of public office are that it is a public trust, not a property right or contract. The President, Vice President, and other high-level officials can be removed through impeachment for crimes like betrayal of public trust or corruption. The House of Representatives has the sole power to initiate impeachment cases and a vote of one-third is needed to bring the case before the Senate for trial.

This presentation accompanies the Guided Readings for Section 6.1 and 13.1 from the Civics Today textbook (2008).
Branches of government
The document discusses the three branches of the US government - the legislative, executive, and judicial branches. It describes the basic roles and powers of each branch, such as the legislative branch making laws, the executive branch enforcing laws and representing the country, and the judicial branch determining the constitutionality of laws. It also mentions checks and balances between the branches that limit their respective powers.
Congressional Rules and Procedures
The document outlines the legislative process in Congress. It explains that a member introduces an idea as a bill, which is then assigned to a committee. Most bills die in committee. If a bill is approved by the committee, it moves to the full House or Senate for debate and a vote. If passed by both chambers, the bill goes to the President to be signed into law, vetoed, or ignored through a pocket veto. Key parts of the process include committee hearings, markups, rules committees, holds, filibusters, and the various influences on a member's vote.
Reconstruction sec 1
Lincoln's Reconstruction plan aimed to peacefully reunite the North and South by having Southerners swear allegiance to the Union, while gradually abolishing slavery. In contrast, Radical Republicans wanted immediate abolition and for Southern states to be readmitted only after a majority swore allegiance. Congress is passed by a majority vote, either 50%+1 or 51% of members. A bill can become law with the President's approval, a veto override by a 2/3 Congressional vote, or a pocket veto if the President does nothing and Congress adjourns. The 13th Amendment freed all slaves while the Civil Rights Bill of 1866 and Black Codes affected freedmen's rights.

Ltgov Con Conv Healthcare
Andre Bauer, the Lieutenant Governor of South Carolina, wrote to his colleagues in the state legislature urging them to support a resolution calling for a constitutional convention to overturn the new federal healthcare law. He argues that planned lawsuits and repeal efforts will not be successful, but that a constitutional convention as allowed under Article V could amend the Constitution to reverse the law, if 34 states pass a similar resolution. Bauer asks the legislators to quickly sponsor the resolution and help "move NOW to reverse this law" which he says oppresses basic freedoms.
Judiciary govt conflict
The judiciary sometimes comes into conflict with the government over citizens' rights, law and order policies, and sentencing guidelines. Judges aim to uphold the rule of law and interpret legislation impartially, which can differ from the policy priorities of elected politicians. Notable examples of conflicts include the Belmarsh detention case regarding terror suspects' human rights, NHS discrimination in access to cancer drugs, and European court rulings overriding UK laws. Politicians occasionally criticize judges as being too lenient or out of touch with public opinion.
LEGISLATIVE BRANCH: PHILIPPINE PARTY LIST SYSTEM
The document summarizes key aspects of the party-list system for electing representatives to the House of Representatives in the Philippines. It describes how the system aims to provide representation for marginalized groups. Registered national, regional, or sectoral parties and organizations can participate by fielding nominees who must meet certain qualifications. The number of seats allocated is 20% of the total House seats. Voters cast two votes, one for a district representative and one for a party-list. Seats are allocated based on the percentage of the nationwide vote each party receives. Party-list representatives have the same rights and terms as district representatives.
As the judiciary
The judiciary upholds and interprets the law, and is intended to perform these functions independently and neutrally. Judicial independence means judges can resist political pressure, as they cannot be easily removed and are appointed based on ability rather than politics. However, critics argue judges may still be influenced by their social backgrounds or political considerations in some cases. The judiciary can defend civil liberties through judicial review and interpreting laws, but is ultimately constrained by the law and parliament.
Executive branch
The document provides an overview of the executive branch and the president's roles and responsibilities. It discusses how the framers limited the president's power to prevent tyranny. It outlines the president's roles as chief executive over the executive branch, as commander-in-chief of the military, and as chief diplomat in foreign policy. It also discusses checks on presidential power like term limits, impeachment, and judicial review of executive orders.
Domestic violence powerpoint
The document discusses two important pieces of federal legislation related to domestic violence: the Family Violence Prevention and Services Act (FVPSA) and the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA). FVPSA provided federal grants to fund state and local programs assisting domestic violence survivors. VAWA, first passed in 1994, created the first U.S. federal laws acknowledging domestic violence and sexual assault as crimes, introducing harsher penalties for offenders. The act was reauthorized in 2013 to expand protections and services for survivors. The document encourages taking action by contacting elected officials to advocate on these issues.

Extradition
Extradition refers to the delivery of a person suspected or convicted of a crime by the state they have fled to, to the state that has jurisdiction over them. Generally, states have jurisdiction over people within their territory, but sometimes criminals flee to other countries, preventing justice. To address this, states adopt extradition agreements to hand suspected criminals back to the affected state. However, extradition is subject to several restrictions, including requiring a formal extradition treaty between the states, not extraditing people for political or religious crimes, requiring sufficient evidence of criminal acts, and only prosecuting extradited individuals for the crimes specified in the extradition request. In conclusion, while extradition is important for administering justice, it is

Political parties Class 10 simple
Political parties are necessary in a democracy to bring diverse people together on common issues and policies. They contest elections, help form governments, and shape public opinion. India has a multi-party system with national parties that receive over 6% of the national vote and state parties that receive over 6% in state assembly elections. Political parties play important roles but also face challenges like a lack of internal democracy, dynastic leadership, money and criminal influence in elections. Reforms are needed like regulating party finances and internal elections, giving more opportunities to women candidates, and state funding of elections.
