1-Maryland governor Larry Hogan put his faith in the Maryland members of Congress to stand up to President Trump and his proposed budget cuts that would directly affect the state of Maryland-- including preserving the Chesapeake bay, funding major research programs like Johns Hopkins, and funding for the affordable care act. Democratic members of Congress were worried that Hogan wouldn't stand up to Trump and that the state's programs would suffer. Hogan had a strategy-- meet with members of Congress and prioritize what would be lobbied on in DC. Hogan's strategy proved effective, as none of the federal budget contained the deep cuts to Maryland programs that Trump had initially proposed. Surprisingly, the democrats that were initially disgruntled about Hogan's plan were very pleased with this result. I think this is a good illustration of how Congress functions and how it is meant to balance the power of the executive branch.

2- http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2017/jan/3/religious-makeup-of-115th-congress/

One pressing issue that doesn't seem to get enough attention, in my opinion, is the influence of religion in politics. Particularly, pertaining to Christianity. The statistics of the 115th Congress show over 90 percent of the members practicing Christianity. Our vice president Mike Pence has publicly said that he legislates from his faith. How is their any possible separation of church and state when so many congressman are instituting policies based on their biased views of their religion? What is todays role of religion? These questions aren't asked enough, and are causing many problems for the next generation because many of the people who govern by their religion tend to ignore pressing issues such as climate change and womans reproductive rights. At what point will their be an ethical review of the conduct by which a legislator can expand their own personal beliefs to the masses? This is my dissussion for Unit 1, feel free to comment!
