Some observers express concern about high reelection rates for incumbent members of Congress and have advocated for term limits as a way to formally remove longtime members of Congress. Why do you think these proposals for term limits are being advanced? Are there advantages to having long-serving members of Congress in office (e.g., when dealing with an entrenched bureaucracy)? What do recent election cycles say about the need for term limits? Are there other ideas for systemic reform such that challengers are placed on a more equal footing with incumbents?
.
Additional or lengthy responses may improve one’s grade.
Postings should analyze the issue as well as advance discussion and ponder possible connections to other issues or questions. Simply providing a textbook response will result in average grades. Students must demonstrate that they are able to go beyond textbook responses in order to demonstrate critical thinking and analytical skills.
Classmate responses must go beyond an “I agree with you” or “that’s a good point” type of response.
Responses must be supported by course materials or external sources provided by the student (i.e. links to other news or journal articles, websites). Make sure to cite ANY information you are using. If you are using the textbook, simply use the following format: (author, page number).

Given that most presidential powers are delegated and informal, the presidents ability to shape American politics is largely contingent on public support. To what extent do flagging political support or declining poll numbers hamper the presidents ability to lead Congress and the nation? Are there areas where this fact will be of little consequence? Discuss the suitability of public opinion polls for conferring a mandate on the president.
Consider the positive and negative effects of profit in the context of several different areas of public bureaucracy. What is gained and what is lost by privatizing functions such as education policy, trash removal, criminal incarceration, and national defense? How might privatization affect the constitutional rights of citizens who deal with the private companies?

This will be the complete submission of your project and implementation plan. You will need to defend and support your final work to the CEO and board. Improve all previous project submissions based on graded feedback. Then assemble them into a final plan with a summary that advocates for your position. Think of this as making the final sale to a customer. Why should the CEO and board accept this as the best solution? What will the company gain by implementing this solution? How will we ensure that the solution is sustainable?

Project 5 Create a Cause-and-Effect Diagram There’s always the chance that something will go wrong, a stakeholder wants something different, technology doesn’t work as planned, and what you are working on becomes outdated. The Ishikawa Diagram (Fishbone Diagram) is a tool that can be used to help in the analysis of what is going wrong. Take a look at your project and refer back to Figure 7-2 or the internet and create a diagram that lists a potential issue you may have and look at the components of what you would look at to address it. Here are a couple of websites in addition to your text that you can refer to:
