If people actually paid attention to more of these sorts of details - understood how things work - maybe they would get up off their duffs and vote instead of kvetching all the time about how everybody's a liar and nothing ever gets done. Spoiler Alert: nothing gets done because you don't vote. Yes. You. YOU. The person reading this comment. There's a 66.1% chance that you're the person I'm cheesed at. Go vote. Right now.

the speaker of the house is 3rd in the order of precedence, but I have a hard time accepting that the vice president has more power than the speaker. The speaker clearly is the 2nd most powerful person in the country. Speakers can: -basically choose who leads congressional house committees. -heavily influence allocation funds to individual projects (pork barrel spending) -Kill bills they dont like in committee. -control the amount of time proponents or detractors of a bill have to argue their points on the floor of the house -determines which legislation is assigned to each committee -which legislation reaches the House floor for a vote -determines the House legislative agenda (eg. the GOP continuously tries to kill Obamacare) -In addition all speakers have the normal powers of a house member. Historically vice presidents have often been almost powerless. Also the speaker is usually more powerful than the senate majority leader, as senators are typically harder to control. Speakers are also 2nd in the line of succession. Eg. if the president dies the vice president becomes president, and if he dies, the speaker becomes president.

The video makes it seem like the whip follows the speaker and is followed by the majority leader. Second, the democrats controlled congress and the presidency from 2009-2010, not 2008-2009.

I don't get why the Canadian colonies didn't join the US against Britain in 1776.

Actually, divided government has more history of getting things done, usually by forcing compromise to pass bills with bipartisan support. Thanks to the abuse of the filibuster in the Senate, it effectively takes a 3/5 majority to get anything done. Since neither political party can seem to hold such a majority in Senate for the entire 2 years of a term, this renders the perceived power of unified government completely mute.
@robertjarman3703
6 жыл бұрын
Divided government has been useful, but is limited by the recently much stronger holds on political whipping. The two party system and especially the first past the post system makes it near impossible to do anything without trying to sweep aside anything the other party does. A proportional parliament does tend to so more, but even then, political partyism is a real issue.
@theUSpopulation

So let me get this strait: The reason why congress has not able to get anything done recently is because the Republicans are split between the traditional Republicans and new Tea Party Republicans while in charge of the house and senate. So does that mean if the were to Republicans work efficiently together again or if the Democrats take over, Congress could potentially be more efficient than it is now?

Ukiyou Basically, there are two main parties (Republicans and Democrats), three major third parties (Green Party, Libertarianism, and the Constitution Party), and dozens of minor parties within the states. In the most basic sense, Democrats generally believe in society and modernism, and they lean towards a larger federal government, whereas the Republicans generally believe in traditional values (ironic considering they were founded by abolitionist Northerners) and States' rights, and they lean towards a smaller federal government. However, the United States also hosts three major third parties: Libertarianism can be considered as a kind of mixture of Republican and Democratic ideologies. Libertarians are in some ways more liberal than Democrats (such as in drug liberalization and civil liberties), yet more conservative than Republicans (such as reduction of federal power and gun ownership rights). They are fiercely neutral, and the third largest political party in America. The Green Party (sadly not named after John Green) is a pacifist party. Their ideology is based on principles of ecology and grassroots democracy. The last of the major parties is the Constitution Party. Their beliefs are based on what they believe to be the "original intent of the founding fathers". As a result, their policies are based on what they claim to be the original meaning of the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence. They also hold high many Biblical principles and morals. Sorry it took so long.

Small complaint, the majority party does not necessarily have 51 members as is currently the case

Craig, and all of the staff at crash course: I have a great idea. You guys should make an eagle fund like the pork chop party fund like on mental floss. Every time Craig punches the eagle, he needs to add $0.25 to the fund. And you guys can donate that money to save threatened eagle species.
