The Legislative Branch #1

Constitutional Connection

Article 1, The Legislative Branch

Explanation of Connection

In this political cartoon it shows the two different parties (democrats & republicans) of congress in session. They are obviously trying to come up with a decision to pass a law or veto it. While they are trying to come up with a decision a Republican decides to filibuster, which means to prevent a vote by talking constantly. IN this cartoon apparently the Republicans don't agree with the decision that they are about to make or doesn't feel it will help them in any way.

I agree with filibusting if it is completely neccassary. Some people filibuster because they don't get their way. Filibustering is a really strategic way to get congress to agree with certain decisions. Congress usually don't have a filibuster occur but the ir was one time when a man read from the bible for days. Also people fight filibusters back. One time a filibuster was about to occur & a group of democrats ordered beds & was willing to sleep through the whole filibuster.
