I. the Executive Branch (The Prez) Coleman, Chpt 12 Chpt 11 (402-04) Bowler and Donovan Chpt 4 I. The Executive Branch (The Prez) A. Major Themes; • what is Prez power vs. Congress? • what is nature of Prez power? • is President too strong? B. Power: In Constitution, a 'weak' branch 1. Original formal powers quite limited particularly in domestic politics executive powers from Constitution = execute laws unlike parliamentary system, no power to legislate access to leg. process indirect, distant a. Veto power: a negative power 2. administer government operations Cabinet power over agencies/bureaucracy? appoints department heads w/ set policy & goals only appoints about 2000 positions 3. influence on judiciary indirect, no control once appointed 4. Impeachable by Congress 5. BUT: extra-Constitutional powers from EOP Coleman, Chapt 12 & 5 Chpt 11 (402-04), War Powers Act (on-line) Discussion: Do we need a War Powers Act to check executive power? Does it matter if war "declared" vs. simply started by Pres? C. Pres Power: Domestic vs. Foreign Politics 1. Formal limits on power in intl. relations less clear 2. Commander-Chief power over day-to-day operations of military NOT power to initiate conflict 3. Treaty power enter, negotiate treaties w/ other govts. Senate advise and consent 4. Executive agreements see Coleman, Chpt. 12 D. Founder's Intentions 1. Distrust executive authority 2. Legislature close to people 3. Military & War Powers: Madison: executive only has power to repel attacks "Constitution calculated to guard against an executive hurrying into war..." Madison to Jefferson: "executives are prone to war, legislatures are not..." Calculated wording in Const: “Congress shall declare war...” Congress decides if war to commence Prez. issues admin orders of operation to forces E. Power of Modern Presidents vastly greater today How? Why? II. The Institutional Presidency A. Modern power function of legislative delegation Presidents "stretch" meaning of Constitution 1. Cold War 2. Economic management 3. Modern Media (TV) 4. Congressional delegation 5. Executive agreements / executive orders B. Modern Presidential power more than Cabinet 1. Cabinet = agency/dept. heads Interior, State, Treasury, Agriculture, Labor, Defense, Atty. General, Commerce, etc. 2. Many cabinet posts less status • some never/rarely meet w/ Cabinet • some in Cabinet have ltd/no access to Prez. • Cabinet "meeting" = photo op. 3. EOP "parallel" to cabinet Executive office of President 4. Consider: • How does EOP, WHO give President power? C. Executive Office of Prez. (EOP) 1,800+ non-cabinet appointments by Prez.

  • WE STAND for DEMOCRACY. a Government of the People, by the People
    A14 EZ RE the washington post . wednesday, april 14, 2021 EZ RE A15 ADVERTISEMENT ADVERTISEMENT WE STAND FOR DEMOCRACY. A Government of the people, by the people. A beautifully American ideal, but a reality denied to many for much of this nation’s history. As Americans, we know that in our democracy we should not expect to agree on everything. However, regardless of our political affiliations, we believe the very foundation of our electoral process rests upon the ability of each of us to cast our ballots for the candidates of our choice. For American democracy to work for any of us, we must ensure the right to vote for all of us. We all should feel a responsibility to defend the right to vote and to oppose any discriminatory legislation or measures that restrict or prevent any eligible voter from having an equal and fair opportunity to cast a ballot. Voting is the lifeblood of our democracy and we call upon all Americans to join us in taking a nonpartisan stand for this most basic and fundamental right of all Americans.

  • Circle of Fire
    CIRCLE OF FIRE To: Brigadier General Kathryn A. Malone Firing Officer, Circle of Fire There is an immediate need to inform all Members of the Grand Council of Gnostics of the current Circle of Fire Invocations of Testimony – the full list – and to update the Grand Council of Gnostics of the Priority Lists once the following has been implemented. There is an immediate need to establish the Wish Lists for Fire Teams as can be accommodated. Time Zones, work schedules and personal obligations must be considered. Please advise me via open email of your preferences. There is an immediate need to establish which Invocations of Testimony are to be applied by the respective Fire Team. As a suggestion, limit Invocations of Testimony lists to not more than ten lines for the time being, with the five below being the Priority for all Blasts. There will be a future need of documentation of our Invocations of Testimony and results obtained. Date each invocation, regardless of repeats, and make dated notes of handprint results, if possible, on the same sheet. Do not concern that the Monitors on Government Payroll will know both the Invocation content prior to Circle, or successes: we're sending our warnings to them too. There is another Advertising/Publicity Campaign being prepared by AuthorHouse for the AED inclusive of videos and 1,000,000 support emails. This should be accomplished before the 1st of November with all editing and corrections, and released during the First Week thereafter – in time for the Christmas season. Support for the success of this Campaign is critical.

Brookings and a group of like-minded reformers established the Brookings Institution nearly a century ago, they were guided by the simple but profound belief that good governance results from good ideas and that good ideas are based on respect W for facts, rigorous thinking, rational debate, and civil discourse. It is a testament to our founder that his vision has guided us across the decades and continents, into the era of globalization and the digital age. Brookings brings an unparalleled breadth and depth of expertise to the most pressing challenges to governance, with experts working across disciplines to develop comprehensive solutions. As we near the end of our first century of doing this important work, we remain true to the trinity of values that has been at the heart of what we do since Brookings was founded: Quality, Independence, and Impact. Quality. We’re proud to be found on the Internet at brookings.edu. It’s a subtle but deeply important symbol of our commitment to upholding the standards of intellectual rigor maintained by the world’s most respected educational institutions. Our institutional reputation for excellence derives from the individual excellence of our 270 resident and nonresident scholars, who collaborate across fields of expertise—and in many cases across the globe—to generate fresh, bold ideas.

Since the source is the internet, the reader is advised to also authenticate. The link is: http://www.subvertednation.net/jew-lists/ The below link from the Jewish Virtual Library contains many of the names identified on pages 36 – 38. http://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/jsource/US- Israel/obamajews.html Jewish Influence: An Introduction We have been accused of having “Jew on the brain”; of being negatively obsessed with the Jews, and of being “anti-Semitic.” Yet Jewish influence over the affairs of the world are undeniably powerful, far out of proportion to their numbers. Their role in shaping public opinion through their media interests, and their mastering of the world of business and trade is pivotal to the world economy. As a group they are the most successful in terms of income and wealth and they have reached the highest echelons or the pinnacle of power in every field. Jews are the masters of Hollywood, they are the masters of all forms of media, radio, and television. They are masters of trade and commerce and banking, medicine, and law. The following lists we believe prove this reality. Jewish Lists The lists below are available on the internet. A spot check of several of the names found it to be generally accurate, though we cannot vouch for ALL of the names, and some titles may be out of date. The second list claims to be updated in 2012.
