Voting 101

1) How much power does Congress have over the President?

We sometimes say the president is the most powerful man in the world, but this isn't really the case. The president of the United States of America must work within a system of checks and balances that is intentionally inefficient and forces compromise so that no one person can take too much power.

 

2) Fact: We are an amazing "form of democracy" yet not a "true democracy", on purpose!  Why?  Balance.

Many people think America is governed by a democracy, but is it really? We talked with Ben Swann and he points out that America's government is actually a republic. What's the difference between a democracy and a republic? Ben explains. Epipheo makes videos that allow for human meaning.

3)  The President of the United States has "Term Limits" (maximum 2 four year terms) while Congress does not..  Each state gets (2) senators per state for a 6 year term.  Where is the problem?  The problem is they are allowed to run again, and again, and again..... for as long as they can and our ignorance will allow.  There are currently 205 seats in the House of Representatives who have served at least as long as our presidents are allowed.  In addition, there is nearly half of the 34 Senate seats up for re-election who have served (12) years+.  The beauty is, we can make a difference once we are able to come together beyond discriminatory belief.  #votenewnomatterwho 

Jon Carter of Megahertz Studios is the voice talent in this spot promoting Congressional Term Limits. Spot produced by Reginal Schickel.

4)  While we can't change term limits over night, we can vote educated.  Voting for president, and winning... may bring you a temporary sense of relief, but long lived fortitude has much less to do with winning as it i does education, vision, and fuel.
