Administrative Act Pros And Cons

The military needs this money to maintain order, equipment, and keep soldiers in the fight.

Decisions that presidents had made previously with little congressional participation. Under Article I, Section 8, of the Constitution in the Government of the United States, or in any Department or Officer thereof. Congress is granted responsibility for caring out their powers as well as all other powers in the Constitution. This gives them the constitutional right to establish certain procedural implements for war proceedings. Thus, the central purpose of the War Powers Resolutions to restrain the president from unilaterally deploying U.S. Armed Forces. Constant with this intent, legislation imposed the president to report and consult with congress. More notably, it provides congressional supervision by permitting congress to force troop

As an aviation management major airport security is a concern that I have taken a huge interest in. Making travel safer to air travelers is one of the biggest tasks that will never end as long as there is a plane in the sky. However, there are many problems that come about when traveling because passengers feel as if they are being harassed, which doesn’t set a good look for the Transportation Security Administration. The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) consist of 50,000 security officers, inspectors, directors, air marshals and managers who protect the nation's transportation systems so you and your family can travel safely. They look for bombs at checkpoints in airports, they inspect rail cars, they patrol subways with our

The primary concern of this paper is to establish the impact of the USA Patriot Act on local law enforcement and its potential for net widening. This paper will cover three primary areas to provide a proper public safety case analysis. First the paper will describe the public safety agency and its roles in relation to the USA PATRIOT ACT. Then the paper will provide a detail explanation of the leadership, management, and administration roles of the public safety agency chosen. Finally this paper will cover the importance of efficient administration in public safety.

Power as commander-in-chief. Congress has control of the military spending so they can approve, modify, or reject funding that the president wants.

The National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for Fiscal Year 2012 (H.R. 1540) was introduced into the 112th Congress on April 14, 2011 by Representative Howard P. "Buck" McKeon (R-CA), chairman of the Armed Services Committee (Library of Congress, 2012). The NDAA 2012 was cosponsored by Rep. Adam Smith (D-WA), a ranking member of the Armed Services Committee. This bill essentially authorizes annually federal funding for all Department of Defense operations, including the military, and defense operations within the Department of Energy (OpenCongress, 2012). The amount budgeted for the 2012 fiscal year was $662 billion (Mariner, 2011, para. 14), which represents about 73 percent of the total defense budget and just over 18% of the entire federal budget (Chantrill, 2012).

In order to understand the powers of Congress, one first must look at Article I of the Constitution that enumerates several of Congress’s foreign affairs powers. This includes the many different powers like the ability to regulate commerce with foreign nations, declare war with foreign nations, raise money for and support the many branches of the military like the army navy and airforce as well as maintaining these military organizations. The Constitution also allows for Congress to check two of the President’s foreign affairs powers, make treaties and appointing diplomats. The act of both making treaties and appointing diplomats are however dependent on Senate approval. Congress’s general powers also allow the collection of taxes to draw money from the Treasury, and to make all laws which shall be necessary and proper that allow the legislative branch to control many foreign policy decisions. For example, the last session of Congress during the Obama administration was able to pass a variety of laws that affect America's foreign policy that ranged from electronic surveillance to North Korean sanctions, to border security to wildlife trafficking. Congress can likewise assume an oversight position on foreign policy issues that enables them increase their power. The yearly appointments process enables Congressional Committees to survey, in detail,

Thank you for contacting me regarding H.R 2802, the First Amendment Act. I appreciate you taking the time to share your concerns with me.

The wars in Iraq and Afghanistan are winding down and that will help lower the defense spending by almost $1 trillion over the next decade. The congress is realizing that they need to do some restructuring and have already begun rearranging the military budget in response to austerity. Congress conjured up a $630 billion defense appropriations bill that made plans to reduce civilian and contractor personnel by 5 percent over the next five years and in return ramp up advanced weapons programs, including drones, bombers and missiles says The Washington Post. The American Conservative

The DREAM (Development, Relief, and Education for Alien Minors) act is a bill that Congress is trying to pass that would deal with illegal immigration. It allows children of illegal immigrants that were brought into the country the ability to gain citizenship. The DREAM act requires children that were brought into the United Sates before they were 16 to have lived in The United States for at least five years and either serve in the military or finish two years of “higher education” all while making sure to keep up their good behavior. The DREAM act should be rejected because it rewards illegal behavior, fills up jobs that the hardworking Americans deserve, lowers wages, and unbalances the voting aspect of The United States.

On the recovery from the 9/11 attacks, the act institutes a new authority that America had not seen before. The act is all about the prevention of attacks not reacting to them. In addition, it has done more; broadening its influence to almost all crime, it convicts not only terrorists, but also drug lords, cyber attackers, and even thefts. The act also implemented a new and more efficient way of investigation and conviction. The PATRIOT Act is protecting what it means to be American. In the wise words of George Washington, "To be prepared for war is one of the most effective means of preserving

Article I of the Constitution sets up the legislative branch. In section 8, the powers that are granted to Congress are listed. The enumerated powers clearly list actions that Congress is able to perform, like coining money and marinating a navy. Also listed in section 8, there is a clause referred to as the Elastic Clause or the “Necessary and Proper” Clause. This clause gives the Congress implied powers. The establishment of naval bases by Congress is an example of an implied power. The Constitution does not directly give Congress this power; however Congress is allowed to build bases because it was deemed necessary to carry out an enumerated power.

It has been six years since the NTAS was created in 2011, and there is not very much to show for it. A wide variety of terrorist attacks have taken place in many of the states since the NTAS’s creation, such as the 2012 Sandy Hook Elementary School Shooting in Connecticut (Sandy Hook shooting, n.d.), the 2012 Aurora shooting in Colorado (Colorado theater shooting, 2017), and the 2016 Orlando Pulse Nightclub Shooting (Lotan et. al, 2017). Not one of these terrorist attacks caused an alert or a bulletin to be posted by the DHS. Although many terror incidents in the past six years have been lone wolf terrorism attacks, and therefore extremely difficult to predict, several attackers were on the FBI’s radar, such as the Boston Marathon Bombers, and therefore could have been prevented by the FBI if they had been more present in their investigations (Winters, 2017). If the FBI could not completely prevent the terrorist attacks, the FBI and DHS could have minimally surveyed the attackers closer, issued an alert regarding a terror event that they knew was potentially going to happen, and saved hundreds of lives and millions of dollars.

The United States of America experienced the greatest, and arguably the most significant, restructure of both governmental and legal proportions in its contemporary history. Following the suddenness of the attacks, the United States was desperate to ensure that an onslaught of a similar stature was subdued. Henceforth, the Homeland Security Act of 2002 was established, bringing into existence the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), a department specifically concerned with internal issues faced by the USA. Primarily made as a direct response to the 9/11 attacks, the role of the DHS is to protect the United States of America and its given states and territories from danger; specifically, terrorist attacks, man-made accidents, and natural disasters; this is commonly seen in airports in the form of Customs and Border Control which are two functions of the DHS, following its subsequent take over of the IHS (Immigration and Naturalisation Services) in 2003. In the same movement for security, the *USA PATRIOT Act of 2001 was legislated in an attempt to “detect and prosecute terrorism and other crimes”

The Administrative Procedure Act (APA), was enacted by Congress in June of 1946 which established the way administrative agencies within the federal government are governed. APA was born out of a political environment that followed the New Deal plan and World War II. Members of Congress wanted to establish a system that would govern the way appointed officials would manage a growing administrative government. Since agencies are unique government bodies each agency has within them their own judicial, legislative, and executive areas. APA allows for a distinctive separation of power in processes which the agencies of the federal government operate.
