IM STEPPING IT UP

Government has the power to pretty much accomplish whatever it wants to. For example, if they want to go to war, they find money to make that a reality instead of just an idea. Now, what if the congressmen and women slack and don't do their jobs? Congressmen and women really do not spend as much time doing work as they should. A lot of them take many days to go golfing, fishing, etc. Our government does not really let the people of congress slack off. The same goes for the President. If people start to realize that the job is not being done, or if it is not being done well, they are definently subject to impeachment. Impeachment is a very scary terminology to these types of people. I think that people may let congress slack if they feel it is not affecting them in any sort of manner. For example, if they put out a bill every 5 months and the people are happy with it, then there really is not much of an issue. Most people are really only concerned with their agendas, so if their agenda is not messed up there is not a problem. I think that politicians understand that, as well as take advantage of it. I also think the fact of a bicameral legislature adds to this overall idea. The fact that the Senate and House have equal power to each other could mean that people would have to do less work, since someone else is doing the exact same thing on the other side. I said before the thought of impeachment, now impeachment is subject to all government officers, but the person who has to take it the most seriously is the president. The president has to hopefully have the capability to make the whole nation happy. Although that is a very difficult task, he must make enough people understand what he is doing and like it. A president has to also draw people to like his words. Charisma and just geniune character really make a successful president. Making the nation like the president, really draws it more together. The president has the power to make treaties with other countries (with a 2/3 approval of the senate). To make this a lot simplier, if the president has likable attributes the foregin country would probably be more prone to accept his offer. The president has to play three central roles in the government to be successful: he has to be a commander in chief, a diplomat in chief, and administrator in chief. By being all of these he controls the whole nation. He is capable of creating wars (with congress approval) stopping them, making legislation and as well as putting that legislation into action. Presidents want what is best for the nation as a whole, even though it does not seem like it. That is the reason why they are in office, doing what they do. Although, since term periods are limited from the twenty second amendment, presidents campaign for next elections while already being in office.
