If I chose to run for federal office, I would run for a member of Congress. The reason for

this is because they have the power to make bills into laws. Before anything gets passed into

law it is put up for discussion and debate. I am one who is always up for a debate, I always

try to make sure that I look at all the pros and cons before making any decisions. If the law

is something that I feel that should be passed I want to be part of passing it.The

responsibilities of Congress are the power to asses and collect taxes, to regulate commerce,

to coin money, to establish federal courts, establish rules for the government, have the power

to make laws, as well as propose amendments to the constitution upon approval of two-

thirds of both parties. If I were to ever run for a federal office, I would run for senator. I

United States for nine years and live in the state which they wish to represent. Your term is

for six years and you may run after your term is over to be re-elected. Checks and balances

were created to be sure no one branch got too powerful which means as a senator you must

help check over the executive and judicial branches. I would run for senate because I feel

there is a little more power to pull in the seat of a senator and I like the idea that I could

have a little more power to pass bills into law that make sese and I could have a little more

pull to find ways to have more legit politicians and be able to have more power to speak the

truth to the people trust me when I tell you the politicians we have right now would not like

me in power I am an independent and I also am a libra I would definitely be changing up the

way the administrative house plays I would definitely be making sure all the powers in

control heard the voices of the people. I feel that we need to have more people in the

administration that truly care about the people and healthcare and safety of the borders than

were followed by all the powers. My choice in the federal office would be the legislative

branch. Legislative branch is the most powerful of the three. Duties include the making and

passing of laws, debates, and the power to override the president. There are some very

important decisions made by this branch some include control of taxing and spending

policies, grant copyrights and policies, establish bankruptcy laws, impeach and convict

federal officials.To become a part of the legislative branch I must be at least 25 years of age

way our nation should be run. The roles and responsibilities of this office consist of making

laws that influence our daily lives, representing the people, and educating the public. U.S

Congress today very much so lacks representing all the people as a whole, and seem to focus

more on specific people like rich white men. That is something I would most definitely

changed. The legislative branch contributes to the function of the U.S government by

sharing power with the executive branch, which is led by the president and also shares

power with the judicial branch, which handles the supreme courts and other courts. All in all

the most important role of the United States Congress is its legislative authority and the way

they manage their budget.

Some checks and balances of the legislative branch is that they can make laws but the

president has the authority to pretty much over ride with a presidential veto and the judicial

branch can declare them unconstitutional. If I ever decided to run for a federal office I think

that I would want to run for the Judicial branch of the government. I would choose that

branch because I have an interest in laws and discussing the legality of certain topics so I

think that, that would suit my interests well. When looking at the responsibilities of the

Judicial branch you would see that they are mainly dealing with law, such as settling legal

disputes, punishing violators of the law, and protecting individual rights granted by the state

constitution these are just a few examples of what this branch is ultimately responsible for.

Representatives both can combine forces and pass a law, the U.S. Senate is more appealing

to me. The U.S. Senate consists of 100 persons, 2 from each state. This means that the size

and population does not matter; every state has 2 senators. Before there were definite 2 seats

per state, there were arguments that each state’s representation in the U.S. Senate should

correspond to the size of the state, but that was simply not fair for the smaller states. Each

Every two years, one-third of the Senate’s members are re-elected. This makes sure that

there was stability to the Senate, and hopefully bring more stability to the other branches of

government. . These reasons are only some of the reasons I would choose to run for the

Senate. The senate is the Libra of federal offices in my eyes. They bring balance to the

individuality of the states. If I was to chose to run for a federal office it would be The

Executive Branch. The Executive Branch is the head of Commander-in-Chief of the armed

forces. There are many roles The Executive Branch plays such as chief administrator,

commander in chief, chief legislator, and many more roles it plays in the government. I

would like to be in The Executive Branch because I would love to enforce rules so that the

armed forces knows what to do. I would make sure things run as planned because not only

would I have to take care of myself but also the people that is under me that depends on the

right person to run the government. The Executive Branch can also veto or reject or even a

proposal for a law and appoint federal post and be able to negotiate foreign treaties with

branch. The executive branch is congress. Congress is made of the Senate and the House of

representatives. The primary objective is to discuss ideas and opinion to make laws that

would benefit both parties. In the legislative branch, I would want to be able to look at how

laws impact different states and learn why there is such a disagreement on laws like a

few. Other countries provide free medical, and college education. America is the riches

country, and we cannot seem to agree on what the country needs so that people don’t

struggle. I think that law should be update based on how our society operate today. An

example is the truck driver that was sentenced to 110 years base on the law. Although he

had an opportunity to take a different route, how can a law that was created, decades ago be

held, if the circumstances are different based on today’s society. Part of the incident was out

of his control (failed brakes) I agree he should do time but not the rest of his life, he can then

spend that time giving back to others because of his mistake instead of rotting in jail. Laws

should be made to discipline but also teach lessons learned for the future. If I could run for

federal office, it would be the House of Representatives. I would want this position because

they are focused more on the citizens and their wants and needs. Being a legal citizen of the

elected state for at least 7 years and being at least 25 years of age will give you the chance

to see what concerns are being voiced and hopefully the wisdom to understand these

focus. I feel that this position brings light to those areas. If I were to run for a federal office

I would most likely want to be under the legislative branch of the government because I

would want to work with Congress. I personally would like to run for Senate because I

would like to work with bills and legislation. I would be able to run because it requires the

candidate to be at least thirty years old, be a United States citizen, and be a resident of the

state they choose to represent in office. The Senate works along side the House of

Representatives to write legislation that affects American policies foreign and domestic. The

Senate, along with all of Congress, exists as a checks and balance system to the President. If

the President of the United States vetoes a bill he does not agree on, the bill is sent back to

Congress to amend the bill for corrections. I think this is a super important and vital part of

our government and it would be an amazing opportunity to be a part of it. If I were to run for

a federal office I would want to work for the counsel on environmental quality (CEQ). I

have always been interested in anything that deals with our environment, as well as our

health, the air we breathe and the wildlife that inhabits it. The (CEQ) developed out of the

national environmental policy act (NEPA) which was created in 1969. Bill Clinton got rid of

make more of an impact and be more of an influence and be taken more seriously. As of

2021 Brenda Mallory became the twelfth chair.. She has worked with the environmental
