But people still need to recognise we have an institutional responsibility to do oversight on the President” Garry Bass, Congress. This quote supports my view on the Congress being a watchdog. If the Congress is a lapdog, the President can have a free ride on running the country how he wishes and not represent the people’s view. However that is not the case as the President cannot do everything which pleases him. However, looking at the statistics such as Bill Clintons presidency, in the first 2 years which was a united government, Congress exercised limited oversight, and when needed to, asked softball questions, however , when Republicans took over Congress, things got much harder as they seek to hold the President to account, and after a while, impeach.
Another strong motive of Kennedy is his concern with improving America further. He expresses this motive by incorporating antithesis into his speech. Throughout his speech, he makes many statements on the different ways the country can improve, “My fellow Americans, ask not what your country can do for you- ask what you can do for your country.”
Compare and Contrast the Governmental Perspectives of Alexander Hamilton, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison and Woodrow Wilson: The Differences and Similarities Angel Green PA 330: Public Administration March 09, 2014 Alexander Hamilton, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, and Woodrow Wilson created an American constitutional government to limit the government’s power. The four fundamentally different intellectual traditions are Hamiltonian; where he seeks a government that is effective and promotes a top down government that favors a strong executive. Jeffersonian; where the tradition celebrates America’s agrarian roots, which promotes a bottom up government and requests a weak executive. Madisonian; where the tradition attempts to balance political power amongst opposing forces, and Wilsonian; prefers to focus on administrative power in hierarchically organized organizations. The result is the profound tension in a uniquely American form of Public Administration (Kettl 2002, 29).

In Madeleine Peiner Cosman (2005) her journal states “by default we grant health passes to illegal aliens, yet illegal aliens harbor fatal diseases that American medicine fought and vanquished long ago”. Generally health care isn’t available for immigrants so health risks are be at a higher rate.

Many of the problems that soldiers had with their commanders stemmed from race, where barriers existed regardless of the beliefs a person had. Nevertheless, racial turmoil was just as prominent in the United States, where problems continued to hinder a unified American front. It all began in 1954 when a court case, Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka, overturned the doctrine of, “separate but equal,” established in another case, Plessy v. Ferguson (Murphy; Ivers). Afterwards, protests began that led to and bonded with the anti-war movement, essentially creating a single unified front. Opposition to the government was becoming an American tradition that would only escalate with the coming of the Vietnam War.
Illegal immigration has been a very controversial topic for the past decade in the United States. Mainly, because how, what, and who it effects. In some senses it can be a good and a bad thing regarding the illegal alien and everyone surrounding them.

Opponents of the law express the concern that it will lead to racial problem. People will be checked because of their appearance or skin color.
Illegal Immigration Making or Breaking Elections In the last decade, illegal immigration has become a national concern as it continues to nuisance our economy, breach social problems and risk our country’s security. Aside from these crucial qualms that loom above our governments platform, there is a hidden consequence of our permeable borders that goes unnoticed. The outcomes of our country’s crucial elections are falsifier. Some illegal aliens have eagerly participated in voter fraud which misrepresents our democracy; but others that merely occupy a space within our borders, affect apportionment and electoral votes only by their presence in the United States. Illegal immigration has become a controversial issue between politicians and
Debating Illegal Immigration Trying to figure out an issue that has been affecting the United States for many years we ask ourselves does illegal immigration really affect our everyday lives? Although many of us have very different views about this issue it’s very hard to come to try and figure out what works best.

This is something that affects not only Latino families but many different races in the world trying to get into the United States illegally for a better life and a better future for our families.
