1. Explain how a bill becomes a law:
A bill can start in either the House or the Senate. If it starts in the House and is passed then it goes to the Senate. If the Senate passes the bill then it will make its way to the Governer. The Governer can either approve the bill or veto the bill. If approved the bill becomes a law. If the Governer vetos the bill then it is sent back to where it originated from and can become a law if there is a 2/3 vote in favor of the bill.
2. What is a committee and what purpose does it serve?:
A group of people formed together to accomplish a certain goal of getting a bill passed. They serve many purposes but the most important is that most bills receive their most thorough consideration in these bodies.

I hope that Kristi decides to stand out from other House of Representatives. She says that she is really anxious and ambitious to get her work done. I hope that she does a good job with it, but it is still too early to tell since she just started.

The story that I had researched was Elizabeth Edwards' will leaves everything to her children. I think that she had made a good decision of leaving everything to her children because her husband was unfaithful to her. The husband should not deserve anything because in the end he didn't really love her anymore.

I think that we should have started worrying about our debt since day one when we had a debt. We our a country that everyone wants to come to because of our freedom but other than that why would they want too. I don't agree with the spending more money because we have nothing to spend. If your in debt, you can't buy anything. And I think it is way too late to start recovering the debt. We should just stop spending money we do not have.

Four people who have been at Obama's side since he entered the White House are leaving. Of these people they include to replace a new chief economic adviser, a new senior political counselor, and two new deputy chiefs of staff. With all of this happening people can't but help to question why so many of them are leaving. Also people are worried about how the White House may change with these four new people on the staff.
