The powers of the President are described in the U.S. Constitution and federal law. Subject to Senate approval, the President appoints members of the Cabinet, ambassadors to other nations and the United Nations, Supreme Court Justices and federal judges. The President, along with the Cabinet and its agencies, is responsible for carrying out and enforcing the laws of the United States. The President may also recommend legislation to the United States Congress. How Elected: Every four years, political parties nominate candidates to run for President of the United States in a general election that is held on the first Tuesday, after the first Monday in November. Although all parties use conventions to nominate their candidates, in most states the Democratic and Republican parties also run state-wide primary elections or caucuses. The results of the primary elections influence how the delegates to their respective party’s convention will cast ballots for candidates for President. The degree to which the result of the primary influences the votes of delegates at conventions varies from state to state. Term: Four years. Limit of two terms. Salary: $400,000 per year.

  • Toll Modernization Proposal Public Comment Final Report October 24, 2019
    Toll Modernization Proposal Public Comment Final Report October 24, 2019 Maryland Transportation Authority Toll Modernization Pro posal – Public Comment Final Report Executive Summary On July 25, 2019, the Maryland Transportation Authority (MDTA) Board unanimously approved to proceed to advertise the Toll Modernization Proposals and seek public comment. The public comment period began on August 1, 2019 and continued until 5PM, October 3, 2019. Nine public hearings were conducted between September 3rd and September 19th. The Toll Modernization Proposal presented to the public included: I. Establish New Payment Option (Pay-by-Plate) A new payment method would be created for infrequent customers and those that do not want an E-ZPass® account. This payment method allows customers to pay as they go by registering their license plate and credit card and eliminates the need to maintain a prepaid balance. II. Expanded and New Vehicle Classifications Provides MDTA the ability to expand and create vehicle classifications for motorcycles, 3-wheeled cars, passenger vehicles towing trailers and campers, 3- and 4- axle recreational vehicles, and 2-axle recreational vehicles and tow trucks towing vehicles. III. Video Toll Early Payment Discount (Pay-by-Invoice) The MDTA proposes the introduction of an early payment discount structure, which would allow customers who pay their notice of toll due within a pre- determined timeframe and prior to the mailing of the notice, to receive a 15% discount off the video toll rate. Public comments for the official record were submitted through a number of methods. Five methods for providing public comment included an online comment form, U.S.
