Explain the importance of the military-industrial complex.
On Jul 23, 2024
Students' answers may vary.
Cold War expansion of the military was furthered by the growth of the military-industrial complex .Coined by President Eisenhower, the term refers to the potentially dangerous influence of the political alliance between the Pentagon and the corporations that manufacture its arms.Expensive new weapons systems are mutually rewarding to the armed forces and to companies, especially in such fields as aircraft, electronics, and shipbuilding, for which defense contracts can bring in billions of dollars a year in guaranteed sales.Defense contractors thus place their financial muscle and lobbying resources behind Pentagon budget requests.

Describe how Congress exercises its checks and balances over the executive branch.Which chamber of Congress has more authority over the executive branch? Provide examples.How might partisanship help to diminish the exercise of congressional power over the presidency? Explain.
On May 29, 2024
There are three components to this question.
a.Checks and balances over the executive branch: Congress has the power of oversight to check the executive.Oversight refers to the effort to supervise how the executive branch carries out legislation.Oversight is carried out by committees or subcommittees of the Senate or the House,which conduct hearings and investigations to analyze and evaluate bureaucratic agencies and the effectiveness of their programs.The Constitution also grants Congress the power of impeachment over the president,vice president,and other executive officials.Impeachment means to charge a government official (president or otherwise)with "Treason,Bribery,or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors" and bring him or her before Congress to determine guilt.
b.Which house has more authority: The Constitution gives the Senate more authority over the executive.The president has the power to make treaties and to appoint top executive officers,ambassadors,and federal judges,but only "with the Advice and Consent of the Senate" (Article II,Section 2).For treaties,two-thirds of those present must concur; for appointments,a simple majority is required.The House is not given any authority over treaties or appointments.
c.Partisanship: Oversight hearings can serve as political tools.The Select Committee on Benghazi,formed in 2014 to investigate the deaths of four American diplomats in Libya,became enmeshed in partisan contention after Hillary Clinton,who had served as secretary of state during the attacks,announced that she would run for president.
