Article 1 Section 2
The House of Representatives shall be composed of Members chosen every second Year by the People of the several States, and the Electors in each State shall have the Qualifications requisite for Electors of the most numerous Branch of the State Legislature.

No Person shall be a Representative who shall not have attained to the Age of twenty five Years, and been seven Years a Citizen of the United States, and who shall not, when elected, be an Inhabitant of that State in which he shall be chosen.

I chose this particle part cause it lets the american people know that they choose who they put in these offices.  It stuck out to me the most due the government shut down.  That a second year is coming up and we need to reevaluate who we have in these seats and think about who we want to put in these seats the next time around.  That if they dont stop the shutdown by next week the american is no more america it is a political society that does not care about the well being of americans.

Choose an article from either Roll Call or Politico in the list of links on the blog page. Post the link to the article and underneath write your reaction. Do not summarize, but write your response to the article and why you chose it.

I choose this particular article cause the Government shut down affects all of us today.  This also shows that they really are not concern how this will affect the american people.  The republican have decided that they are going to do whatever they want and how they want.  This just shows that people have to be more careful with who they vote for to put in these position. Even though i really am still confused about the government shutdown the little i have come to understand it is a horrible thing that his happening in america today. It can also send america in a deeper debt.  The house and senate are also lettting the president know that they are in control and if he dont give them what they want he will not get what he want.  It is political blackmail at the expense of the american people.
