What Effect the roman republic have on the US?
The main legacies of the Romans are religion, the alphabet, language, the calendar, law, architecture and literature.
Christianity developed from a religion among a small group of Jews (who lived in Judea, which was part of the Roman Empire) into a mass religion in the Roman days. It spread around the Roman Empire. It became state religion. Catholic Christianity and Orthodox Christianity developed during the Later Roman Empire. They were originally called Latin or Western Christianity and Greek or Eastern Christianity respectively. The former was the main form of Christianity in the western part of the Roman Empire and the latter was the main form of Christianity in the eastern part of the Roman Empire.
Western European languages have adopted and adapted the Latin alphabet. The only letters in the English language which do not come from the Latin alphabet are J, U and W.
Italian, French, Spanish, Portuguese, and Romanian are languages derived from Latin (Romance languages). Many Latin words or words of Latin origin have entered English via two routes. One was that Latin was the language of the church in the Middle Ages. The other was the Norman conquest of England. French became the court language and many French words entered into the English language. These words are usually of Latin origin.
Many international words in medicine, law and theology are Latin.
The calendar we use is the Gregorian calendar. It is named after the minor modifications made by the calendar instituted by Julius Caesar (Julian calendar) by Pope Gregory XII in 1582. Therefore, we basically use the Roman calendar. We also use translations of the Roman names for the months.
The key principles of Roman civil law have provided the foundation or an inspiration for the law of many modern countries. These are: citizenship status and ctizenship rights, equality under the law, nobody is above the law, the right to have a proper trial, the right to defend oneself and to be represented, the right to appeal, that the burden of proof rests on the accuser and not on the accused, that it is the exact form of actions and not intentions or words which is punishable, and that a law deemed unreasonable or unfair can be repealed.
The Romans influenced European architecture, sculpture and painting until the early 20th century. They influenced the art of the Renaissance (14th-15th century) Baroque (17th-18th century) and Neoclassicism (18th-20th century, and is still sometimes used today). Palladian architecture was also based on Roman architecture. It was popular from the 17th century to the 20th century and was often used for public buildings. Latin literature was very influential in European literature until the mid-20th century.

Can you be president and not have the most electoral votes?
One could win the US presidential election without the ten states with the highest number of electoral votes (256), although since numbers nine through eleven each have 15 votes if all eleven of the states with the most electoral votes went for one candidate there is no way the other candidate could win (271 votes against). In the 'top ten ' scenario, all of the remaining states, with the exception of Massachusetts (12 votes) would have to be won by the candidate collecting electoral votes from the smaller (when calculated by electoral votes) states.

You can't put a time frame on when you are going to die. Don't do it! Many doctors give "time frames" and people prove them wrong all the time. It is great when two people love each other and no matter what the circumstances between them, go for it! Even if you have 2 weeks, 2 months, 2 years or 5 years you have been so lucky to truly be passionately in love with each other, when so many other people never get this chance in their lifetime. People can be together for years and miss so much of life's joys and can't see beyond their own problems, while people in your position see life everywhere and embrace it. Live and love like you are going to live forever. Have fun! Make each other laugh and tell secret little stories to each other. Enjoy every part of life you are capable of. Surround yourself with your friends and family. Never listen to those that feel it's wrong, because you both deserve to be together. I am sure you are well aware that no two people will die on the same day or at the same time. One may go in a year or two while the other is left behind. Be prepared for that. Remember, if it's a great love there are no boundaries, and love reaches beyond life as we know it. It goes on forever! Yes! The first part is a wonderful reason to get married, and with the time frame there is less of a chance that it won't work out! I'd rather spend an hour with someone I was truly madly in love with (and vice versa) then to spend a month with someone I "kind of" liked. Don't believe "set times" for terminal illnness. Regarding marriage, it sounds like someone is trying to talk you out of it and you're looking for some reassurance here. I say, "
What causes an ignition shaft to break seven times in less than two years?
If yours is one of the many engines that use the distributor drive shaft to also run the oil pump, it might just be an oil pump problem. Has the oil pump been replaced? Is it an oversize/high pressure oil pump? Has the oil pressure relief valve been modified? Also, check the distributor for excessive end-play. If the shaft rides up or for any other reason causes excessive torque on the shaft, that too could be causing the shaft to fail. Those shafts are deliberately small so that THEY will break and not damage your camshaft gear. Either way, it's either a binding or sloppy distributor or something that is causing the oil pump to work too hard.
