Essays on Nomination

In a primetime broadcast President Trump announced that his nominee to replace the vacant seat on the Supreme Court left by the untimely death of Antonin Scalia would be U.S. appeals court judge Neil Gorsuch. Interestingly, the headline shows a touch of “Texascentrism” by pointing out the Texas Supreme Court Justice Don Willett had been “bypassed.” Willett himself declared the selection “a magnificent choice.” There were other Texas connections in the selection. Senator Ted Cruz figures prominently in this article. First, it notes that Cruz had been discussed by some as a possible nominee for the ...

The Environmental Protection Agency is a body that works to ensure that the environment is clean and safe for the US citizens. From the article under analysis, the body is at a risk of losing its powers due to the political play that is at hand.

It, therefore, becomes a danger zone for the body because a lot could change. The ...

Abstract

The democratic system of the United States should presuppose transparency and good faith associated with the activities of the fundamental institutions such as the Supreme Court of Justice. The real practice confirmed that there are some significant shortcomings associated with the structure of this legislative body such as absence of definite term limits for the members of the Court to carry out their functions. According to the Constitution there are no definite terms of responsibility. The Judges, both of the supreme and inferior Courts, shall hold their Offices during good Behavior. At the same time the live tenure may ...

The person I chose to introduce as my unsung hero is John Marshall. John Marshall, who was Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court from 1801 to 1835, is best known for his opinion in the 1803 case Marbury v. Madison, in which he formalized the principle of judicial review. John Marshall qualifies as an unsung hero, because without his interpretation of what the judicial power of the court means, it is more than likely that the nation that we know today would be very a different place. Unlike most other Chief Justices, prior to his appointment to ...

Phenomenology methodology:

Developing a theory: The first step in a qualitative research paper is developing a theory. The American elections of 2016 greatly influence this research.

Introduction

Decision making in the United States is a very important task. This paper will answer question number five. The question asks to compare and contrast presidential and congressional decision making. Whether the decision is congressional or presidential, the right decision is essential for the betterment of the American people. Congress and the President both have decision-making powers; although they work in different capacities. Congressional decision-making is by far the most powerful. Presidential decision-making is powerful as well. According to Dean (2010), “nothing is more important in the American presidency than decision-making” (Dean, 2010).

The article is focused on the issue of understanding social cognitive mapping (SCM) and analyzing whether it is a black box method as claimed by Farmer and Xie, or not. The authors try to demonstrate empirically what SCM measures and according to their view, it measures peer interactions. They also state that Farmer and Xie’s suggestion that the probe measures developmental processes, perceptions and shared preferences is incorrect, as such wide range of different phenomena cannot be measured by such a simple method. Neal & Neal (2013) prove their argument by stating the fact that there are more precise ...

In the past, men were seen in society as the leaders, the “bread winners”, and was the dominating gender for years. The women were only seen as nurturing and tender loving mothers and wives, therefore not having much say-so in how the household was running. However, in today’s society women are continually breaking these outdated social norms and following they choose is right in their life. Many women who are like this would be called a deviant or even a radical. Hillary Clinton, the presidential candidate for the Democratic Party, is an image for women who choose to ...

I. A.) In 1996, Congress enacted the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA). One of DOMA’s provisions defined marriage in terms to whether same-sex couples were entitled to federal benefits as a legal union that could only be consummated between a man and a woman. In the 2012 case, United States v. Windsor, the Supreme Court invalidated the provision, arguing among other points that it violated same-sex couple’s liberty as guaranteed under the Fifth Amendment’s Due Process Clause as well as denying them the equal protection of the law (Liptak, 2013). While the ruling was focused mainly ...

The problems that have since time immemorial faced the formation of third parties can be traced back to 1968 where the two major parties of the time; Democratic and Republican parties masterminded the making of the ballot access laws for new political parties (Bawn et al., 2012). It was mandatory that all contesting parties should have acquired ballot access in all the fifty states, a factor which most third parties could not adhere due to reasons like lack of the required registration fees and not meeting petition requirements (Bawn et al., 2012). Such a realization hindered the growth of ...

Introduction:

After two consecutive Democratic Party victories in the Presidential Election (2008 and 2012), the Republican Party will be looking to regain the country’s top Executive position although they face significant challenges in doing so. President Barack Obama remains relatively popular although he has taken quite a battering on the healthcare reform issue with the Republicans fighting tooth and nail to deny him any progress in this field. His final two years will also be significant, since Congressional elections in 2014 will probably see the Republicans take over the Senate, thus ...

Crafting a Speech Analyzing Sarah Palin’s Speech Accepting Her Nomination for Vice President of the United States

Introduction Respected Sir, and fellow students, it is a pleasure to stand before you and elucidate, what I infer, the speech, delivered by Gov. Sarah Palin, at the Republican National Convention in St. Paul on September 3, 2008, was of blatant aggression on the opposition Democrats formed around rhetorical situations. Given the privilege of becoming the vice president of the country, Sarah Palin was only too happy to accept her nomination, and the speech she gave on that day was marred by controversies and savage mockery of the opposition. The occasion was to commemorate her surprise choice and acceptance ...

Introduction

Contemporary studies view parties as alliances of politicians whose ultimate objective is to win electoral office. Parties make promises on behalf of their candidates about what they will do if elected, and help improve chances of reelection for incumbents through their records of implementing their programs (Bawn et al. 571). It is plain to see how these parties might serve democracy. Citizens can give more effective direction to government by voting for a party instead of an individual. They create an incentive for responsible governance by holding an entire party rather than a single politician accountable for government actions (Bawn et ...

McConnell versus Grimes for United States Senate

- Introduction When most Americans think about election time, they often refer to the Presidential election that occurs every four years. However, the outcomes of the United States midterm election most often affect Americans on an individual level compared to the outcomes of the Presidential race. Midterm elections are held every two years after the four-year Presidential election has occurred. Virtually all United States Congress, including the House of Representatives and Senate, have seats up for grabs, and at least three-fourths of our 50 states will hold gubernatorial elections as well (Pfiffner and Davidson 254). It should ...

Abstract

The paper begins by highlighting the objectives of the essay, which are in a bid to argue for whether political parties should conduct their primaries in either open or closed nominations. The essay acknowledges that most parties are taking party nominations seriously because they foster internal democracy and participation. It goes further to conceptualize briefly both open and closed approaches in handling party elections. If a political party adopts the former, any registered voter is eligible to participate in its nominations. While if the party embraces the latter the registered party members only take part in its primaries. After ...

The State Judicial Selection Process

Judicial Selection Process Of Florida In the state of Florida, the judiciary is composed of four different areas (McClellan, 1991). These are: the county courts, the circuit courts, the district court of appeals and the supreme court. The judicial selection process is not a very complicated one. The appellate judges are chosen through merit. This process involves retention and they can become trial judges if they are chosen during nonpartisan elections. The vacancies in these trial courts are usually filled after the governor chooses candidates who are recommended. These are done through what are called judicial nominating commissions. ...

Presidential nomination process is not enshrined in the United States Constitution. As a result, parties and states have formulated their own rules and modalities which, nonetheless, must be in conformity with the electoral regime.

The nomination campaign for the presidential seat constitutes the first stage of the long road to the White House. In the nomination stage, the candidate competes within the party so as to get the ticket and the mandate to run on that particular party. To this end, the ...

However, the undue advantage that a candidate may derive from exorbitant contributions from individual entities has been recognized by various institutions throughout the history of ...

The first is through appointment, in this method, the executive of the state is required to nominate an individual for the position of judge. After the appointment, the state must approve the nominees before they can take up responsibility as judges (Bardes, Shelley & Schmidt, 2011).

The second method that is used in about seventeen states is “retention election”. In this ...

Introduction

The redistricting process borrows from a rich political history on the political systems and the democratisation of the state. Politics of redistricting and reapportionment have for a long time occupied the minds of scholars and critics. In his analysis of the political effects of redistricting, Engstrom (36) argues that one of the seminal effects of the redistricting process is the gerrymandering on the political platform. There are also other effects bound to occur. For instance, the process leads to new leaders assuming power with new leadership styles and collaboration among the new faces of leadership unlike the old regimes and also ...

At the same time, though the Vietnam War was also a symptom of American decline, and in addition to derailing Lyndon Johnson’s Great society it also opened the door to the revival of conservatism and ...

The theory of sustainable development is perhaps the most equivocal factor that has dominated many debates in addition to generating equally varied interpretations from environmentalists. Sustainable development places significant importance on the maintenance of natural resources. For this reason, several values often emerge when defining or during the inclusion of natural resources. Resources come in different types that can be categorized as renewable and non-renewable. While resources are useful for the survival of humans both in supporting life and in meeting people’s needs, the satisfaction of human needs and scarcity of resources has led to several resistances. Such ...
