Senator Trillanes Office Case Study

2. In today’s world there would be some mixed reactions to a senator like Jefferson Smith. Some people would disapprove of him because he is not the characteristic senator and has no political experience. They would think that he was young, and inexperienced, and that he did not deserve to be in such a highly respected position. Other people would love that he was standing up for what he knew was right, and that he was doing what needed to be done against those people who take advantage of our

Everyone in the office has known set guideline of what their daily tasks that they are to complete. I think this is attributed to such the calm mood in the office. There are times that things can get hectic and, usually during our morning meetings, but after that the mood dissolve and disappear. There is a front desk as you walk in the front door, since I have started at the agency there is no one there. For the most part there is no need for a receptionist. None of our clients physically come into our offices. We go to them, in the comfort of their home. This is because our clients are our clients because of terminal or chronically ill patients. We are there to provide a comfortable life. With there being so many workers in and out of the office, whoever is working from the office, becomes the receptionist. I’m defining the Receptionist role as answering the phone. Our phones ring constantly. When our patients have questions, are concerns, it is the quickest way to get a hold of us. While each of the workers who visit the patients has a cell the office is also another way of contacting us. It is fundamentally important that our patients and patient’s families can always get in contact with us. We as a company are literally a phone call away and when patients need us, we are there as soon as possible. Communication in the office is completed in several different ways. There are emails, face to face contact, and phone

As businesses are growing, they become more in power. Monopolies begin to have more power, and monopolies and other businesses controlled the senate. The picture in document D shows how the people and public entrances are closed. It shows different monopolists lined up at the door, people with big bellies with trust signs on them and a sign that says “This is a senate of the monopolists by the monopolists and for the monopolists”. These all show how the trusts are oversized, how monopolists trusts are wealthy and very powerful. it shows how trust controls the senate and industries and corporations. People began to want more power. Document F shows how people want the power of the people to be expanded. People want the government to restore power to “the plain people” and to end the oppression, injustice and poverty.

In spite of this, each page is presented with the opportunity to serve each and every senator while at the capitol. Pages runs errands for senators by taking different documents to other offices, running notes from an office to the senate floor, and many other tasks. The page desk is located outside of chamber doors. This also serves as a lobby for senators away from public access. As a result, it is high traffic and many senators walk through that area, some stop to talk and are interested in meeting some of the week’s pages’ others go about their hurried business. On occasion a senator might ask a page to sit at their desk and vote in their place. The senator must be on the senate floor, but a page will sit at the given senator’s desk, watch for the hand signal when the senator walks into the room to know whether to vote yes or no the bill currently before the

Most individuals with a general background knowledge of the United States Federal Government system are aware that in order for a bill to become a law, it must first pass a majority vote in Congress. There is, however, a very important step in the legislative process that sometimes goes unnoticed. The committee system of the legislation process ensures that the appropriate attention is given to each bill introduced to Congress. Each member of both chambers are assigned to committees and subcommittees, and are expected to become subject matter experts in their respective roles as committee members.

In agency representation the constituents give the politicians the ability to make decisions on their behalf when they don’t know the issue, the constituents expect them to work in their best interest. An issue that has recently been in the news is President Obama’s efforts to close Guantanamo Bay. Since the issue has not attracted the attention of a lot of people it is up to congress to vote in the public’s best interest. Yet, according to New York Times, congress has been blocking the president’s efforts to shut the prison down. The United States spends $2.5 million per detainee in Guantanamo and it currently holds 532 detainees. Acting as agencies on the behalf of the American people, Congress should work with President Obama because the money that the United States could save will be spent on issues that directly affect the public. This raises the question of how well does congress represent its

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.

The film portrays the government in a very negative light and shows how the senators have no real influence on lawmaking. Mr. Smith’s struggles as a senator gave the impression that the government functions completely on bribery, blackmail, and lies. The film gives a very strong message about the lack of democracy in American government and politics, along with the ignorance of the American people. Mr. Smith portrays the average American citizen: he is naïve, has faith in the democracy, and is ignorant

In document B there are 2 images about monopolies as the bosses of the senate. For the first image the monopolies look like a gigantic sack of money but it also looks a normal big guy. The second image is about a tournament between labor (workers) and monopolies. There is a knight riding a big metal horse that is battling with a worker that is riding a donkey/pony. These images are trying to tell us to trust monopolies because they are the big guys with the money. Monopolies are giving workers the idea that they are in control of their labor and that they are superior to anyone. In document J labor claims what they want, “...We demand a reduction of the hours of labor which would give a due share of work and wages to the reserve army of labor[the unemployed] and eliminate many of the worst abuses of the industrial system now filling our poorhouses and jails.” Labor workers started noticing that monopolies were taking too much advantage of workers conditions. So they demanded to notice them and help them out because labor work was too tough for them and they rarely had any breaks well I think they didn't have any breaks at all. This topic relates to my next topic because when workers knew they needed help with their bills they involved their family members to help out with their

The main duty of the senator’s job is to represent the people living in his or her state in the United States Senate, by representing the people they have the power to write laws and be able to vote for or against it. This forms of laws are called bills.

The core function of the Texas Legislature is to formulate and enact laws. Apart from the enactment of laws, the legislative body is also mandated with the functions of shaping the state’s political agenda, performing checks and balances on state of the state’s government, pass the state’s budget, as well as oversee the functions of the administration. Similarly, the body also sets the critical details or a court’s organizational procedures when it comes to matters that pertain to impeachment and court disputes regarding election petitions. It is equally important to mention that the body is also mandated with the function of informing and educating the electorate regarding the critical functions the body is required to deliver to the people as provided for by the laws of the State of Texas (Dautrich and Yalof 684).

For instance, the Speaker of the House must set the agenda, appoint chairs of committees and, have an impact over what gets voted on in the legislature (Champagne et al., 2017, p.209). Another important persona in the state legislature is the lieutenant governor; the president of the state senate. He is held accountable for setting the legislative agenda and appointing committee chairs (Champagne et al., 2017, p.210). Moreover, the committee system of the state legislature must work together to perform more common governmental tasks. Such as, when the Texas Senate and House members work together to pass a new law (Champagne et al., 2017, p. 211-212).
