As the newest advisor to the most politically inexperienced president in American history, you will need to call on all that you have learned in POS1041 to help Mr. Justin Bieber. Specifically, President Justin Bieber has asked for your help in passing a new major piece of DOMESTIC legislation. The details of the legislation, as well as the details of President Bieber’s party affiliation (if any) are up to you. President Bieber wants to know about the kinds of difficulties that his proposal will face, and the things he needs to do to get it passed (GO BACK AND REREAD THE PREVIOUS BOLDED SENTENCE as that is the main part of the assignment).

Specifically you should inform President Bieber of the following:

1) The structure of our constitutional form of government (separation of powers, checks and balances, federalism – you should talk about all three of these and each should be its own paragraph).

2) The role of specific actors within the formal branches of government (Congress, the bureaucracy, and the courts – you should discuss all three of these and each should be its own paragraph).

3) The role of other institutions and actors (the media, political parties, and interest groups – you should talk about each of these and each should be its own paragraph).

MAKE SURE TO TIE THESE INTO HOW A BILL BECOMES A LAW!
