constitution 2
Over two hundred years ago this country's constitution was written so that the people of the United States of America will have a system of government that worked and one that protected them. Ever since John Hancock and the other founding fathers signed the document, this country has been all it was hoped to become. The Constitution was broken up into many Articles that deal with certain objectives. Three examples of those Articles are: The process a bill must go through before it becomes a law, the powers of the president, and the kinds of interstate reciprocity that are guaranteed. Members of the House of Representatives as well as members of the Senate create bills. After being proposed the bill must go through a vote in wither the House or the Senate, and if passed it is presented to the president. When the president receives the bill he decides whether or not the bill is sufficient and deserves to become a law. He either approves the bill to become a law, or he denies it and returns it to where it was originated with a list of his objections. Now the House or Senate has ten days to deliberate and decide whether the bill is still worth passing. After modifying the bill, the house where it originated must vote on whet
This Article also deals with wanted criminals fleeing their state trying to escape the police. The Constitution states that "a person charged in any state with Treason, Felony, or other Crime, who shall flee from Justice, and be found in another State, shall on demand of the executive Authority of the State from which he fled, be delivered up to be removed to the State having Jurisdiction of the crime," (Article IV, Section 2, Paragraph 2). This meaning that any wanted criminal found in another state where he did not commit the crime must be sent back to whatever jurisdiction where he is wanted. In that state he will be tried and legal action will be taken. A third power of the president is that he/she has power to "fill up all Vacancies that may happen during the Recess of the Senate, by Granted Commissions which shall expire at the End of their next Session," (Article II, Section 2, Paragraph 3). The President has all these powers, but may not make a decision that will effect the country for a long period of time, without the approval of Congress. The president has the power to write Treaties also. However, he cannot write and pass a Treaty with out consent from the Senate. After an approval from two thirds of the Senate the Treaty may be passed. The Senate checks all the decisions made by the president. The president may not appoint Ambassadors, public Ministers, Judges of the Supreme Court
