In 1978, the AAPA House of Delegates became the policy-making and legislative body of the Academy. William Hughes was the first speaker of the house. “The house of Delegates (HOD) is responsible for enacting policies establishing the collective values, philosophies, and principals of the PA profession”.

The inter workings of Congress have been studied extensively by Richard Fenno and David R. Mayhew. Mayhew’s study of Congress took place in Washington, while Richard Fenno conducted his research by following politicians within their congressional district. Mayhew attributes three primary goals to congressmen- getting reelected, achieving influence within Congress and making “good Policy”. Fenno also attributes three basic goals, having influence inside the House than other congressmen. Second, helping their constituents and thereby insuring their reelection, and lastly helping make good policy. The purpose of this paper is to research a member of Congress and to make a direct connection between his activity in Washington and his home district. The paper will answer whether the congressmen is a delegate or trustee. Are the actions a pursuit for reelection? Are the committee assignments a path for movement within the House or outside? What legislation has he/she sponsored or co-sponsored and does it directly reflect his/her districts political view. And finally, do major industries and interest groups within his/she district affect the way he/she votes.

In the December 2015 NPR article, “ 8 Things Congress Actually Did Last Year,” author Alisa Chang explains the actions of the Republicans who were incharge of Congress and avoid self-made crisis, such as government shutdowns, and create more accomplishments. Surprisingly,Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and House Speaker John Boehner were able to keep their promise on avoiding shutdowns this year. Congress has been doing a good job so far.
In 1867, congress overturned president Jackson’s vetoed bills and formed three significant laws known as Congressional reconstruction: the Command of the Army Act, the Military Reconstruction Act, and the Tenure of Office Act. The Military Reconstruction Act used federal troops to reorganize governments in the south and to enforce civil rights for blacks. It also abolished all new governments within the rebel states under president Jackson’s reconstruction policies. Congress regained military control of ten out of the eleven previous rebel states. The Military Reconstruction Act ordered each state to create a new constitution that guaranteed the right for all men to vote; no matter of race, social status or if they owned property.
The most powerful groups in American politics are the NAACP (National Association for the Advancement of Colored People), the AARP (American Association of Retired Persons), the AMA (American Medical Association), the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, and the NRA (National Rifle Association).

Now for the AARP, this association represents the views of the older American population where they affect the health care system. Evidently their

Since, arriving at Rowan University I became at-home with Rowan’s diversity and efforts to make an impact on not only its students, but the local residents living in Glassboro too. Early in the Fall semester, I tried-out for the school’s Rugby and Ultimate Frisbee athletic teams, and ran for the Student Government position of Freshmen class Senator. I was trying to find my niche at Rowan and I found it when I joined the Pre-Med, Medlife and Pre-health society clubs. In addition, I ran for another student government position, Senator At-Large. I was elected into student government on November 7th and since then, I have felt like an active member in Rowan’s community. I first learned that Residential Learning and University Housing was looking for students to fill new Residential Assistants positions in a Senate meeting. Additionally, I’m very keen in becoming a Residential Assistant.
In January 10, 2018 I attended a committee meeting from 4:00 pm to 5:30 pm at Mashburn Hall (306 HOB). The political experience was intimidating and empowering. I was frightened of being surrounded by representatives, organizations and community leaders in the health care sector, but at the same respectful and grateful. Consequently, I acquire knowledge in specific healthcare policy topics such as, the existence of the Health Quality Subcommittee, its responsibilities/goals and the nursing role in policy.
Public policy is affected by the decisions of the congressional and presidential process due to the fact that these parties cannot agree on certain issues. The congressional electoral process offers more individualism among its members than among legislators. Congress seeks for re-elections because they want to maintain a personal reputation among voters. The presidential process is composed of various steps that every candidate needs to go through to get elected. When both electoral are on a campaign they tend to make certain promises to the public that cannot be kept for the future. such as a better education or college students receiving help to pay off their student loans. The congressional primary elections can go in a battle
Tiwari 1 Tiwari 2 Sadiksha Tiwari Prof. S sharifian GOVT 2306-73431 29th April 2018 Committees of the Senate In the United States, the lieutenant governor appoints the Senate and also provides each committee with its duties. Moreover, the Senate divides its work into twenty permanent committees. These committees are similar to the house of representative committees in the United States. However, the Senate has its own guidelines within which each committee operates. Furthermore, each senate committee has the mandate to hire its own staff and the operating funds vary from one committee to another (Berry & Fowler 694) Most of the committee staff resources are controlled by the majority party in the Senate; however, a portion of the resources
Figure 6.1, "Confidence in Congress (2014)," shows that the Congress receives a low confidence rating. Congress only got five percent of a great deal of confidence and five percent of quite a lot of confidence. The failed promises of some of the people in Congress were a key aspect of getting the votes that were needed to get elected. The failed promises are also some of the reason for the lack of confidence and trust in Congress.
With the ANA support in March of 2010 President Obama proposed the Health Care Reform Act to help assure individuals better, high-quality, and affordable health care insurance coverage. ("Health care reform in the United States", 2010, p.1). "The health care is a human right, and will continue to fight on behalf of nurses and their patients to ensure that this is achieved" (Ana: Ensuring nurses, paragraph, 1). By attending and speaking at public health care events, being involved with other stakeholders like; Health Reform Dialogue (HRD) group, and along with staying up to date and in contact with the Congress and Capitol Hill the ANA shows it's involvement to achieving the goal that the health care reform act insures. Stakeholders and other health care professional organizations gather to speak about " health coverage, disease prevention, and increasing funds for education. These ideas are now being projected to the media and Congress (Ana: Ensuring nurses).
The Organizational Structure of congress in the United Stated is demonstrated through the fact that we have a House and a Senate that are separated from each other. Congress is a very complex structure that possesses many committees that all handle a variety of topics. The United States Senate is composed of only 100 members that serve six year terms. Some refer to the senate as the “upper house”, and only 1/3 of the members of the United Senate are re-elected every two years. The House of Representatives is composed of 435 members that each serve two year terms. The HOR is known as the “lower house” and all 435 members are up for re-election every two years. The top two leadership roles in the Senate are The Vice President of the United States who presides over the Senate, and required to vote when there is a tie in Senate. Also in the case of a death of a president, the Vice president must step up and preside over the nation. The second most vital role in Senate is the President Pro-Tempore. The President Pro-Tempore is the highest ranked senator as elected by the Senate. The top two positions in the House are The Speaker of the House and the Majority Leader. The Speaker of the House is arguably the most influential single legislator in both houses. The Speaker presides over proceedings on the House floor, designates which bills go to which committees, designates committee assignments for new members, appoints the party 's other leaders , and
