They are both equally necessary parts of the Legislative Branch of the United States government, and are both the two representation houses of Congress, and are both necessary in nearly every political task, especially the process of overriding a presidential veto.

An apprentice starts off @28 dollars an hr so that would be roughly 53,760.

One they are no longer apprentices and lets say they become welders, they

However this is in NY, not sure about different states

well you could call a commercial company if you wanted a standard house- monitoring system. if youre tech-savvy you could duild your own(infared LEDs and recivers for a basic system) but the most practial solution would be to go online and purchace a non-subscription type deal and install it yourself. first alert makes a good selection of diy systems.

The members of the US House of Representatives, commonly called Congressmen , must stand for election every two years. I think some state governments also have two-year terms for some positions.

Well, here's what I understand about the Belgian government;

Belgium always ended up being the victims of imperialism, and so was always at war. Then they decided that they wanted independence, so Belgium was born. However, b/c of the wars, there were different cultures within one country (French, Dutch, & German.) So to cater to them, 3 new separate governments were formed which each control 1 of the 3 regions in Belgium & have just as much power as the central Belgian government. They are Flanders (Dutch), Brussels (French & Dutch), and Wallonia (French.) The German speaking people are a minority, so they don't get a region, and that's where 3 other governments come in. These are called the "commmunities" which are French, Dutch, & German. Their governments can only assist the people who are of that identity, and whose region identifies as well. Ex. The French community in Wallonia can't help the 300,000 French people in Flanders b/c that's a Dutch region. (I have to answer in 2 answers, see discussion)

Barack Obama. Before him it was Richard M Nixon.

New York Districts 8 and 9 represent Brooklyn, NY in the US House of Representatives. In 2014, the representatives were Hakeem Jeffries for the 8th District and Yvette Clark for the 9th District.

WAY too many. I believe the founding fathers attempted to keep lawyers out of Congress, but they weren't successful for long.

That's an interesting comment considering that many of them were congressmen and attorneys as well. Attorneys are by trade "law experts". Who better to be making your laws than someone who knows their way around the law and can help keep the legislation out of the courts by writing it write the first time? The U.S. Congress is part of the legislative branch of the government. That was the way our Founding Fathers designed our Constitution.

This is only my opinion and I do believe that you have a valid argument about too many attorneys being involved in government. But I don't agree with your statements facts.

I believe around 2,105 delegates are at stake in total.

Ms. Sewell believes that states should be able to decide for themselves whether to permit same-sex marriages or civil unions. She further believes that Alabama has decided against same-sex marriage and that no same-sex couples should be able to marry in Alabama.

The length of terms in state senates in the 50 American state senates is either two years or four years. Senators in 31 states have a four-year term. Senators in 12 states have a two-year term.

Not soon enough, but I believe November 2014.
