Will anyone help me answer 2 short answer questions?

There is no “right or wrong” answer here; however, it is imperative that you substantiate your commentary. For this assignment you are to answer the two questions below. Each question should have a short answer of a
minimum of 200 words.

Currently, Congress has an average job approval rating of 16 percent. Why is that? Is Congress not supposed to represent the will of the people?

There are many challenges that Congress faces in regards to passing legislation that would make all of our lives better. However, Congress tends to be deadlocked on many issues, which prevents legislation from passing and proceeding to the desk of the President for signature into law or veto.

The question for you to consider for this discussion board post for this module is as follows:

1. If you could propose a law for consideration, what would It be? And, why do you consider such legislation important?

In March of 2011, President Barack Obama ordered US military forces to initiate Operation Odyssey Dawn, a military operation conducted in concert with allies from the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) whose mission was to strike at the military forces of Libya under the command of then-Libyan leader Muammar Gadaffi. These forces were committing what was considered by many to be war crimes against the Libyan people. However, President Obama never received congressional approval for such action.

More recently, in April of 2018, President Donald Trump, in concert with French and British military forces, conducted a series of air and missile strikes on targets in Syria. These targets, related to Syria’s chemical weapons program, were struck in response to the Syrian government’s use of chemical weapons on civilians earlier that month. The possession and use of chemical weapons is prohibited under international law. However, as with the case of President Obama, President Trump did not receive congressional approval for this military action.

The question posed to you for this module’s discussion board is as follows:

2. Was the President correct to militarily intervene in either (or both) of these situations? Did the President overstep his authority, or was what he did within the parameters of his role as commander-in-chief?
