Congressman Bishop began the seminar by discussing public lands and his continued work on the projects that he believes benefit Utah. He described the issue by first displaying a map of the amount of land that is considered public lands in the west in comparison to the land in the east. By and large, the east has little public lands and the west has a considerable amount. Congressman Bishop explained that this is because when the Eastern states joined the union they were given their land back to them. When the federal government did not give the land back a couple of eastern states sued the federal government and received their land.
Partisanship should not have an adversarial relationship but there should be unity in Congress when an administration resists oversight. Nor should a contentious relationship develop between the Oversight Committee and those being looked into. Government transparency is the first step in preventing the agencies from sweeping things under the rug or exchanging favors for overlooking transgressions. Checks and balances require unity of Congress when a committee issues a subpoena. Issa experienced that; “modern political practice dictates that the president’s party in Congress plays defense, attacking oversight to blunt its effectiveness” (Issa p.18).
In spite of a scorched-earth campaign by Democrats on the Senate Judiciary Committee, Neil Gorsuch has been confirmed to fill the Supreme Court vacancy left by Justice Antonin Scalia’s untimely death last year. Gorsuch’s nomination was one of the most significant actions of the Trump presidency so far, and his confirmation will now have profound implications for our nation over the next several decades. Here are four reasons why American citizens—especially Evangelical conservatives—should consider Gorsuch’s confirmation a great victory and why he might be better even than Scalia, whose place on the bench he would take. 1.
Betsy DeVos’ name is starting to get attention. She is, after all, President-elect Donald Trump’s pick for the next United States Education Secretary. But Betsy DeVos may be getting negative attention instead of a positive one. In Florida, teachers are already planning to protest against Trump’s pick.
Senator Mike Lee: Why not give people a choice and let the superior economic concepts win the day? Senator Mike Lee penned a superb editorial on the proposed BCRA https://medium.com/@SenMikeLee/the-missing-ingredient-in-bcra-humility-771ce270fd00 And it has one of the best ideas yet on the bureaucratic monstrosity known as Obamacare: Give people a choice in the matter.

We all have complaints in life. So what it 's human nature to complain about why did Donald Trump this, why did Nikki Haley that, why did the other team when, why did they get the promotion at work. We all do it, not that complaining is a trait we should be proud of. However, those things don 't matter in 25 years Nikki Haley will not be governor of the great state of South Carolina and Trump will be 94 years old assuming he is still alive.
The candidates that are running for president are terrible. I wouldn’t want to picky any of them. However, if I had to pick a certain celebrity, it would only come close to Mitt Romney. Mitt Romney seems to show as the only person that could actually run in this election and be professional.
Open letter to Mike Pence and Paul Ryan,Supposedly the two most power men in Washington soon to be under the most powerful man in Washington, Donald J Trump.

They loved the oppressed and fought hard for the civil rights of all Americans.
Divide control of congress is where one party controls the house and the other controls the senate. Since 1947 there have been six congresses with divided party control, so it is not like this is the first time it has happened. Congress needs to focus on undergoing a significant transformation to create an environment in which
I couldn't verbally express at this point because depends upon factors of which we ken nothing: the genuine candidates, the condition of the economy, the state of the world. As others have noted history gives the opposition party an edge. People incline to tire of a two-term president and his party toward the cessation of his tenure. The best one can verbalize of Obama is that his record is commixed. He certainly didn't live up to all the hype of his 2008 election campaign; the exaltation that was lavished on him then makes painful reading today.
The Federalist Papers are some of the most important words that have been written in this history of the United States and were written by Alexander Hamilton, John Jay, and James Madison who is responsible for Number 10. Madison focuses Number 10 on factions, their causes, and the result of their existence. Madison beings by stating the capability of the Constitution to control the outcome of factions, such as violence or damage and goes on to state the causes of factions and the solutions to their existence. Madison’s main focus in his paper is factions and their outcomes; a faction is simply a group of people with a common interest, either the “majority or minority of the whole.” Factions originate when people divide themselves over

Congressional oversight is a noteworthy piece of the balanced governance framework, and if these significant issues keep on happening we will see more individuals manhandle the American majority rule process. For whatever length of time that there hosts been a two gathering framework there hosts been get-together governmental issues. This wonders by definition is a Congressmen (Be him or her Democrat or Republican) is so faithful to the gathering that they will vote in favor of those bills, or resolutions, or whatever on the grounds that their gathering backings it. This gets to be tricky when you need to express what is best for your constituents, however may not be what the gathering is pushing for. This makes an extremely lethargic Congress
Although it would not become a lawless anarchy, it would become a dull, frail, lifeless government. Without the spark and fire of political parties, America would become lethargic and mundane. As previously stated; political parties are the heart and brain of America’s government. That means without political parties, America's government would become essentially lifeless. With that it can be said that political parties are essential and beneficial to America's government, people, and political
