Present Day Issue

The bill, "The Protecting Jobs from Government interference Act," was passed by the United State's House of Representatives onto the Senate. The bill forbids companies from taking action of dismissing employees or transferring a factory as a result of workers practicing their federally protected rights to form a union or go on strike. The Republican Party supports the bill and agrues that the bill will increase the amount of job creators because no one will be able to tell them where they can locate and start their business and it will make it easier to move jobs from overseas. Democrats in contrast, claim that the bill enforces an independancy from the governement wich will be bad for the economy. The process of the bill becoming a law is a demonstration of limited governement and seperation of power in the government of the United States. If the bill becomes a law, the bill will limit the amount of power the government withhelds over companies and businesses. The seperation of powers among the three branches of governement affects the process of the bill being passed. The bill was presented to the House of Repusentatives to be debated and equally voted on by each state repusentative. The House by majority vote approved the bill, but due to the seperation of power in the government, the bill does not become a law, currently the bill is being passed to the Senate to be revised and if approved onto the Executive branch for the president's final decision to establish the bill as a law or veto the bill.
