From the Editor
Now that we have elected our new president I thought I would discuss the numbers, the houses, and what they mean to us all-republicans and democrats. This will conclude my discussion of what the government can not do. My current hosted event theme for November is Native American Appreciation Month. The Saturday after U.S. Thanksgiving is the formal attire event.
The NewMonday Show
Due to tech issues (I couldn't hear myself so I know you couldn't hear me), I went into the studio again today. So last night's show is airing today at sherleneonline.org The topic discussion is "I Can't Do It For You, Amen. Amen." you may listen 24/7.
Let's talk American Election: The Numbers, The Houses, and What They Mean
Former President Barack Obama is now the current president makes sense, right? Do you believe that the president seat should be available for more than eight years? Two terms, Mr. President is all that you get. So please do a good job:) It has been said that the second term seat is the most challenging to keep up one's reputation and accomplishments.
Pres. Obama 332 vs. 206 for Romney
Of the nine battleground states (holds highest electoral points) Pres. Obama lost N. Carolina (by 2.2%) to Romney who won with 50.6% of the state's vote.
The popular vote was also given to Pres. Obama: 62,200,959 vs. 58,899,127.
The Democrats won two Senate seats and now owns the house-the majority of the seats, 55 out of 100 to be exact.
The republicans still own the House of Representatives with 234 of the available 435 seats.
Congress
Passes laws, confirms/rejects appointments of Senate, declares war and makes peace, impeaches people (fires government staffers such as the president) and hold trials, overrides vetoes, finances the government (though the bills must be approved by the House of Representatives to reach the Senate), and approves the coining of money and designs of paper money.
House of Representative
Passes laws, declares war and makes peace, begins the impeachment process of gov. officials, and overrides vetoes

The Numbers
Electoral votes (each state is given a certain amount of points, to win you must have a total of 270) Pres. Obama 332 vs. 206 for Romney
Of the nine battleground states (holds highest electoral points) Pres. Obama lost N. Carolina (by 2.2%) to Romney who won with 50.6% of the state's vote.
The popular vote was also given to Pres. Obama: 62,200,959 vs. 58,899,127.
The Democrats won two Senate seats and now owns the house-the majority of the seats, 55 out of 100 to be exact.
The republicans still own the House of Representatives with 234 of the available 435 seats.
The Houses
There are two houses of our government (also known as Congress): the Senate and the House of Representatives. These two houses are called the legislative bodies. In order to be represent a state in the Senate you must be at least 30, a resident of the state that you are representing, and be a U.S. citizen. You are allowed to hold the seat for 6 yrs. To lead in the House of Representatives you must be at least 25, a resident of the state, and be a U.S. citizen. This seat can be held for 2 yrs. Now, the president of the Senate is also our U.S. vice president. He or she can not hold a seat in the senate or the House of Representatives. He doesn't normally vote unless to break a tie. The leader of the House of Representatives can hold a seat in this house and normally votes on issues. All of these folks have the right to vote on all bills that hold what you believe for the majority of the U.S. population.Congress
