A Senator can stand up and say, "I object."
http://www.tomrichey.net Tom Richey explains the powers of the distinctive characteristics of the two houses of the United States Congress: the Senate and the House of Representatives. The Senate is the Upper House of Congress where all states are represented equally in a small legislative body with aristocratic traditions. The House of Representatives, or Lower House, is a larger body with seats apportioned based on population. In addition to its unique aristocratic traditions of "senatorial courtesy," the Senate has the distinct powers of ratifying treaties and confirming presidential appointments to the federal bench, the cabinet, and of foreign ambassadors. The House, being closest to the people and elected more often, has the sole authority to initiate revenue (taxation) bills. ...

In the Senate Chamber, at the east end of the Centre Block, red carpeting and upholstery and a ceiling of gold leaf decorate the place where our Head of State meets Parliament. The Senate Chamber abounds with artistic expressions of Canada's history and heritage. These works of art serve to remind Senators of the people and country they serve. Of particular note are the eight magnificent paintings that adorn the Senate's walls; they commemorate the sacrifice made by Canadians during World War I and Canada's evolution towards full independence.

Democrats aren't just trying to capture the Senate in 2016, they are also looking beyond that and hoping that they aren't setting themselves up for a midterm backlash, which would flip control of the Senate for a third time in three elections. As difficult as the 2016 Senate map has been for Republicans, who had to defend numerous blue- and purple-state seats and could lose their majority, Democrats’ 2018 map looks practically unnavigable. The party starts with five ruby-red seats to defend: Indiana, Missouri, Montana, North Dakota and West Virginia. Then, Democrats have a slew of Senate seats up in traditional swing states, including Florida, Ohio, and Wisconsin. If he doesn’t become vice president, Tim Kaine will also face reelection in closely divided Virginia in 2018. And if he does, a...
For the latest news across Belize, visit: http://edition.channel5belize.com/ The Belize Chamber of Commerce and Industry today confirmed that it has officially reversed its position and is now joining the social partners, as well the Opposition, in the call for a Senate Select Committee to investigate the Special Audit of the Immigration and Nationality Department. The decision was taken on Thursday and preceded a written letter to PM Barrow dated September ninth, following a meeting of Chamber executives. After meeting with its lawyers, it was acknowledged that the House of Representatives lacks the constitutional authoritative order to conduct an investigation. In fact, the Senate is the only legally recognized body charged with that mandate. B.C.C.I. President Nikita Usher, in an in...

In the third volume, Master of the Senate, Caro chronicles Johnson's rapid ascent in United States Congress, including his tenure as Senate majority leader. This 1,167-page work examines in particular Johnson's battle to pass a landmark civil rights bill through Congress without it tearing apart his party, whose southern bloc was anti-civil rights with the northern faction more supportive of civil rights. Although its scope was limited, the ensuing Civil Rights Act of 1957 was the first such legislation since the Reconstruction era. The book was released on April 23, 2002. It won the 2003 Pulitzer Prize for Biography or Autobiography, the 2002 National Book Award for Nonfiction, the 2002 Los Angeles Times Book Prize for Biography, and the 2002 D.B. Hardeman Prize. https://en.wikipedia.org...

And wide are your delusions,
Deep red is the space behind your eyes,
Closed forever is the door to your troom,
But inside there lives the sound,
You despise,
But I love...
Mother, I was wrong.
