Hey guys; we still exist, it’s just that things that make money will get priority over things that don’t. I hope those of you that discovered us go through our blog and follow us for a continuous stream of knowledge. It may trickle from time to time, because I’m the only guy that provides it. Beautiful. Of course, if you have time and even marginal writing skills; don’t be afraid to hit us up at wearechangebranson@gmail.com.
Pitches aside; let’s get to the reason I’m writing the article. You can go back through our older posts and find out that it will be no secret that our fall will be fiscal-related; be it from the government or enemies attacking or looting our money supply. However, as was the transfer from the Roman Republic to the Roman Empire, there (are) were pivotal moments and changes in the government. The Roman Empire was a bit more militaristic in their approach, as are we.
This has nothing to do with the military though. I have a history of rambling. :\ Instead, this post is tied to a bill that changes the relationship between the legislative and executive branches. The amount of power has been shifting to the executive side for about eighty years now; starting with FDR’s “New Deal” (something my Libertarian pundits call the “Raw Deal”) and the vast array of executive administrations created in the package. Slow and steady, a classic Progressive tactic. Anyway, what’s underway now? Well, there’s a bill floating around that negs the Senate approval for a lot of executive positions. You can read the full text of the bill here. Now, for the record; there are some positions that are listed in the bill that are still “appointed from civilian life by the President by and with advice and consent of the Senate” (the secretaries of the Department of Defense come to mind immediately), but most of the positions no longer require advice or consent of the Senate, giving the President free reign to hire and approve whoever he (or she) wants.
So what’s the reason? Is it a power-grab for the executive branch? Yes. Was it intend as so? Meh, maybe. Does the Senate have time to deal with such small issues? Well, they’ve been doing it for close to 100 years. However, both the Senate and House have to approve this bill. This will probably be the Senate’s version of the budget cuts; passing with a majority in the Senate but failing in the House. If it does pass in the House, it could (from a back-door perspective), fundamentally transform this nation; through executive orders and regulations created by these executive bodies. It also frees the Senate of the responsibility (therefore the blame) of choosing these people. Awesome. Now the Senate and House can become a song and dance, creating complex US Code for all to debate over while the executive branch creates regulations with no due representation. Someday, from this rock; I will fight the empire.
