Growth of Presidential Power and Executive Powersddziat
The executive branch has power over human rights through the President's various roles and powers. As Chief Executive, the President enforces laws and develops policies. As Commander-in-Chief, the President leads the military but war must be declared by Congress. The President also acts as diplomat, legislator, and citizen advocating for people's rights. For example, Obama promoted LGBT rights by ending "Don't Ask Don't Tell" and advocating repeal of the Defense of Marriage Act.
The document discusses the powers and limitations of the US presidency. It describes how Congress often hesitates to curb presidential powers during times of war but may place legislative limits. It also outlines presidential powers like serving as commander-in-chief of the armed forces, making diplomatic appointments, and issuing executive orders. The presidency has evolved over time, with precedents set by Washington and the office expanded under FDR's New Deal programs.
The Supreme Court considered two cases related to the Affordable Care Act. In King v. Burwell, the Court upheld the IRS rule permitting tax credits for health insurance purchased on both state-run and federal exchanges. In Obergefell v. Hodges, the Court ruled that same-sex couples have a constitutional right to marry and states must recognize same-sex marriages validly performed elsewhere. The Court also considered retiree health benefits in M&G Polymers v. Tackett, regarding whether expired collective bargaining agreements required companies to provide lifetime health benefits without retiree contributions.
Individuals often form groups to promote their interests, which the Constitution protects through provisions like free speech and assembly. Interest groups influence policy through grassroots organizing, lobbying, and litigation. The government regulates interest groups through laws on disclosure, lobbying, and campaign finance.

The main roles of the president discussed are as chief executive, commander-in-chief, chief diplomat, administrator, and agenda setter through public persuasion.
The "wall of separation" doctrine refers to the division between church and state. Lobbyists try to influence legislators mainly through providing legislators with information on technical issues. Gerrymandering results in districts that favor one political party over another by drawing district lines to the advantage of the dominant party in power.

Comments ( add 5) So in what other ways do these budgetary structures lead to situations like the debt ceiling and the debates about it? Any thoughts?
Response one pol-06
Recently, the U.S. experienced a government shutdown. Although it was for only a short period of time, the shutdown resulted in consequential disruptions of key services and facility closures, as well the temporary furlough of countless Federal Government employees. The government shutdown was the result of a political impasse in Congress, where the Republican majority did not have sufficient votes in the U.S. Senate to garner the 60 votes required to pass the budget resolution. It passed the House of Representatives with the required votes.
Senate Republicans and Democrats reached a probable compromise related to defense spending, border protection spending and protection for Deferred Action for Child Arrivals (DACA) aliens, with the Republicans focused on the two former and the Democrats focused on the latter. Initially, a bi-partisan Senate agreement was struck, but the President rejected the deal causing the political parties to return to impasse. In this instance, Congress had reached a compromise, but the Executive Branch, specifically the President, chose not to accept the compromise causing the deal to collapse, resulting in the shutdown. Within 72 hours following the shutdown, another compromise was struck to pass a continuing spending resolution to temporarily fund the Federal Government until February 8, 2018, upon which another vote would be required. Partisan politics hard-lines, or hyper-partisanship, significantly reduce paths to compromise and it is the American people who suffer in the end.
Interestingly, however, partisan political positions can reverse over time due to changing circumstances. In 2011 and 2013 during the Obama Administration, Congressional Democrats wanted to raise the U.S. debt ceiling to preclude the national debt from surpassing the limit set by law. When the national debt reaches the debt ceiling, and when expenses exceed revenues, the U.S. Treasury cannot increase its borrowing; it may only fund expense for which there is sufficient available cash. 1 The Republicans, wishing to reduce government spending, and who also held the majority in Congress, opposed increasing the debt ceiling to further their own political agenda to cut government spending. 2 In 2013, Republicans used their vote for the debt ceiling to negotiate entitlement reform impacting the Affordable Care Act 3. President Obama responded by saying that he is not going to “negotiate on jeopardizing the full faith and credit of the United States.”2 The impasse resulted in a lapse in funding and a government shutdown. Ultimately, Republicans succeeded in reducing government spending, but they were unsuccessful in their attempts to cripple the Affordable Care Act. 2

H.R.1: For the People Act of 2021 aims to reform voting guidelines and address voter suppression following issues in Georgia. It provides transparency in election security and integrity while addressing campaign financing and ethics. The bill expands voter access through same-day registration and protects against voter roll removal. It targets donations from foreign nationals and increases transparency in campaign financing. The bill also requires the President, Vice President, and certain candidates to disclose 10 years of tax returns. Previous versions failed to pass but provisions were included in the current bill, which is being considered by several House committees. The bill passed the House but faces challenges in the Republican-controlled Senate.
The document discusses House immigration reform and provides details on AILA's position. It covers topics like legalization of undocumented immigrants, provisions in the Senate bill, what is happening with reform in the House, and border security. The summary focuses on three key points:
1) AILA supports a broad legalization plan that would allow the estimated 11 million undocumented immigrants currently living in the US to gain legal status and eventually citizenship. This is in the nation's security, economic, and humanitarian interests.
2) The Senate bill proposes stringent eligibility criteria for provisional legal status, including fines and English learning. It could take 10+ years for green cards and citizenship and would exclude national security threats.
The document is a newsletter from Senator Dick Saslaw providing an update on legislation from the 2015 session of the Virginia General Assembly. It discusses bills passed relating to sales tax holidays, sexual assault on college campuses, transportation network companies like Uber and Lyft, industrial hemp research, autism coverage, and ethics reforms. It also lists some bills that failed to pass and other issues considered by the legislature.
Obama Pros And Cons Government ShutdownMelissa Moore
This document discusses government shutdowns in the United States, their causes and impacts. It notes that government shutdowns have increased in frequency in recent decades due to disagreements around omnibus spending bills that cover diverse topics. Shutdowns cost the US economy billions of dollars and negatively impact many government services that Americans rely on. While some argue shutdowns are healthy, they actually increase long-term government spending and halt progress on important programs.

5. Congress and spending legislation:
2015 appropriations have been stymied by controversial
debates over amendments and the politics of an election
year. The House so far has managed to pass 7 of 12 FY
2015 spending bills; the Senate has not passed any yet.
Congress largely abandoned the annual appropriations
process recently, or what lawmakers call “regular order,”
because of politics and hyperpartisanship.
Lawmakers need to come up with alternative measures
in September to avoid a repeat of the 2013 government
shutdown.
6. How Congress may act:
Option 1: Pass a resolution funding federal agencies
between Oct. 1 and the mid-term elections in November,
and then pass an omnibus bill including appropriations for
all the agencies during the lame-duck session.
Option 2: Lawmakers pass two continuing resolutions:
one funding agencies from Oct. 1 through the lame-duck
session in December, and another after the election to
keep the government open through March or April.
Both Republicans and Democrats want to avoid another government
shutdown at all costs. The timeliness of a Continuing Resolution could
largely depend on whether lawmakers try to graft other political issues
into the funding proposal.

9. Why the debate over Ex-Im Bank?
Debate over whether to continue authorization for the
Ex-Im Bank, which provides critical support to many
businesses in export-driven industries, has caused a rift
between establishment Republicans and conservatives
aligned with the Tea Party and has become a key issue in
several critical midterm elections.
In addition to the Senate proposal to extend authorization
for the Bank for another five years, the House GOP is
considering its own short-term reauthorization bill or
embedding a short-term reauthorization in must-pass the
federal spending bill.
11. The Internet Tax Freedom
Act, which prevents states
from taxing Internet
access, is set to expire
on November 1, 2014.
Most lawmakers favor a
permanent prohibition,
and on July 15, the House
passed H.R. 3086 with
broad bipartisan support.

to combat the recession around 2008, and other
temporary tax incentives were enacted to help
certain new or struggling industries or to encourage
economic growth.
According to the Senate Finance

to expire this year.
