Write a 3- to 4-page paper providing a summary and analysis of the interview and the health care reform issues you discussed.
You must know the health care reform very well. I have a 3 4-page paper based on an interview with a political leader. Some creativity is needed. I am looking for someone that really understands the health care reform what is working and what has not worked. I need to do this without an interview. I thought I would use a perspective ofDarrell Issa, chairman of the House Oversight and Government Affairs Committee, Application Assignment 1: Issues in Health Care Reform (Interview) According to the AACN (2006), Political activism and commitment to policy development are central elements of professional nursing practice (p. 13).

Write an essay in which you assess the effectiveness of congress.
The 113th Congress (January 2013 to January 2015) ended with many comparing it to the historical Do-Nothing Congress, a Congress characterized by its perceived lack of productivity and resistance to many of President Harry Trumans proposals. Now with the 114th Congress (January 2015 to January 2017) in full swing, and with some changes in party power (the Republican Party is now the majority in both houses), there is speculation that there will continue to be a decline in bills passed and tense relations between the presidency and Congress. Some even argue that Congress is broken. Do you agree? Is Congress broken? Write an essay in which you assess the effectiveness of Congress. Base your evaluation on at least two criteria associated with the responsibilities/powers of the institution (e.g. bills passed, representation of the people, government oversight, etc.). Important things to remember: Please do not use a font size larger than 12. Double-spaced. Correctly cite your sources. Consistent use of one format is expected. You may use the MLA citation style. Be careful to use appropriate academic sources. For instance, a blog or Wikipedia is NOT an appropriate source for this assignment. Books, academic journals, and newspapers are appropriate. You may also reference government websites and polling data. Do not use the course textbook as one of your academic sources. Please seek other outside sources.

Explain how the democratic principle or process you selected generally contributes to democratic governance and how it specifically contributes to the day-to-day workings of government.
Democratic governance is as much concerned with process as it is with outcomes, and democratic processes such as fair elections contribute to democratic governance. Yet, free and open elections alone are not enough to guarantee democratic governance. There are more specific processes at work that help support democratic governance and policy making on a day-to-day basis. In addition, there are principles such as equal justice under the law and due process that are considered to be emblems of democratic governance. Along with other democratic principles, they foster the democratic and participatory process. A local citizen speaking before the city planning commission and a highly paid corporate lobbyist seeking to influence federal legislation each play an integral role in the democratic process. Their engagement in the democratic process, no matter how large or small, promotes democratic governance and contributes to the everyday workings of democratic government. To prepare for this Discussion: Review the article War v. Justice: Terrorism Cases, Enemy Combatants, and Political Justice in U.S. Courts in this weeks Learning Resources. Think about the role of democratic principles in the cases described in the article. Consider how democratic principles contribute to democratic governance in the referenced cases.Review the article Strategic Lobbying: Demonstrating How Legislative Context Affects Interest Groups Lobbying Tactics in this weeks Learning Resources. Note the democratic processes that lobbying groups used.Consider how key democratic processes contribute to democratic governance and to the day-to-day workings of government.Select one specific principle or process that you think contributes to democratic governance. With these thoughts in mind: Post by Day 4 a brief description of the principle or process that you selected and explain how and why it contributes to democratic governance. Explain how the democratic principle or process you selected generally contributes to democratic governance and how it specifically contributes to the day-to-day workings of government. Be sure to support your postings and responses with specific references to the Learning Resources.

provide two, specific, historical examples that demonstrate the growth in presidential power during the 20th and 21st centuries.
A close examination of the Article II of the Constitution (Executive Branch) suggests that the founding fathers, leery of tyrannical monarchs, deliberately made vague the powers and responsibility of the president. Yet the institution of the presidency has grown, over time. This expansion of presidential power and the growth of the federal bureaucracies, through executive interpretation ofArticle II of the Constitution, is a dominant feature of the modern presidency.Directions: Using the accredited sources listed below please provide two, specific, historical examples that demonstrate the growth in presidential power during the 20th and 21st centuries. I have attached the accredited sources that the professor wants us to use they are PDF files. Please be sure to do intext citations on any material used.
