NBC ARTICLE QUESTIONS

Josh Rowzee

1. I believe that a consensus is a general agreement between the Democrats and Republicans. Well after Scalia had passed away they have an open seat in the Supreme Court and Republicans don’t want Obama to have it because the Senate is basically filled with Republican minded people. Since Obama term is almost over in his last 17 days in office he become apart of the Supreme Court. Also I don’t think the idea of consensus it really coming to matter because they would want somebody who was actually president because they have more experience in what should matter inside the world.
2. I feel that Obama doesn’t really want to go to the Supreme Court because when he had first started his presidency he had all black hair now he has gray hair. I think all this politics is stressing him out more and so I think that he shouldn’t really go for the Supreme Court. Also if he wants to become the next supreme court he would have to appoint a new democrat before when his term is over January 20th 2017
3. A “lame duck” is a president who really just signs anything because his term is almost over and he really doesn’t have any more power after this. Once Obama is getting close to being over like once the election hits he would probably be having more of an happier smile or maybe even an mad because he knows that he won’t have any more power. Like I believe that Obama will start signing more laws because he want’s America that he will still care about America after his term. I think In Congress will probably agree more with Obama because he was the first African American President.
