Please see the attached pdf ess.ay War Powers Act.jpg Download War Powers Act.jpg (also posted above), The President versus the World: How Presidents Seized Control of the War Power. This page addresses the 1973 War Powers Act and how it has evolved over the past 40 years. Essentially, the conclusion drawn in that ess.ay is that the War Powers Act is essentially ineffective and, for all intents and purposes, powerless to stop Presidents from unilateral military control and deployment of troops into combat. If this is so, after having read that page as well as the preceding page, answer the following questions: If no judicial court of authority, namely the United States Supreme Court, has stricken the 1973 War Powers Act and declared it null and void constitutionally, how is it that the authors of the text book are able to conclude Congress has few, if any, war powers remaining? How can this be? The law is the law, is it not? (Specifically, explain the political phenomenon that has occurred here and has similarly occurred in other legal and constitutional matters allowing the law to be ignored.) Attempting to think as objectively as possible and placing your political partisan beliefs aside (looking at presidents as just that, presidents, as opposed to Democratic or Republican presidents) what does the increase in presidential unilateral military power do to the United States as a nation, for better or worse? (There is no correct answer, yet think through the checks and balances consequences.)
Over the last 20 years the United States as a nation has witnessed and waged war against various forms of what scholars have dubbed public health crisis. Through various administrations, state officials, and first responders the United States has answered the call through various policy initiatives, state mandates and public health declarations.

Standard APA format is required. You should discuss the following: Mask Mandates Stimulus Checks Schools (To Open or not To Open) Economic, Political & Public Health differences
Given the current state of American politics, is it possible that Britain, Francs, or Germany may have an institution that could improve the American system. It could be the UK’s fusion of power, or France’s national referendum, or Germany’s Supreme Court model. I’m a response of 400 words, make a case for swapping out what we have in favor of their institution. Explain how their institution works, how it benefits them and how do you think it could improve us.’
Go to the IAT website (Links to an external site.). Alternately, you can search for the Implicit Association Test using your search engine. Find the box on the left labeled Project Implicit Social Attitudes. You may want to proceed as a guest user rather than registering, so click GO! in the lower panel of the box, next to the U.S. English window. Read the information and disclaimer in the next window. Then, click I wish to proceed. Take the following tests: Race IAT; Age IAT; Gender- Career IAT; Disability IAT; Religion IAT; and Sexuality IAT. Learn more about the IAT by clicking the Education button on the top of the window after you finish the tests and then clicking About the IAT. Browse the rest of the site and, especially, read the Frequently Asked Questions. Once you have completed the steps above, you can start draft Questions What is an implicit attitude? How does implicit prejudice differ from affective prejudice, stereotypes, social distance, and modern racism? Hint: visit the Frequently Asked Questions (Links to an external site.) page of Project Implicit Social Attitudes for definitions of some of these concepts and other useful information. If the test shows you have a preference for one group over another, does this mean that you are prejudiced against the less preferred group? Do you feel that the test accurately reflects your feelings and ideas? Why or why not? (Remember that your implicit attitudes can be quite different from your explicit or conscious attitudes.) Based on what we have read so far in this course, how can implicit attitudes affect a diverse workplace? Provide at least 2 examples, citing any two of the readings we have reviewed so far in the course. Should public administrators be trained to deal with implicit attitudes in the workplace? Why, why not? Were you personally surprised by the results of any of the tests (you do not have to disclose your results)? If the IAT shows that you have a group preference you would rather not have, what are some things you could do to change these preferences? Any other reflection you want to share?
