Do you know who the Vice President of the United States is? Do you know who is in the line of succession for the President? Do you know how long a senator's term is? Do you know when the Declaration of Independence was adopted?
If you answered "no" to any of the previous questions - then this blog is for you. It will consist of fast facts about important American politics and governmental information - historical and current. Informative posts with updates on the Presidential election that is coming up and other various Washington news will also be included.
The reason for creating this blog is to not just educate people on things they should know so they can be wonderful contributing citizens but also my English 225 we were told to create a multimedia project to compliment our paper about an issue that is relevant to students. I choose to write about how politically unaware students are. So this blog will help combat that problem.
And in case you were wondering, the Vice President is Joe Biden. The line of succession starts with the Vice President, then the Speaker of the House, then the President pro tempore of the Senate, then the Secretary of State, and then the Secretary of the Treasury. It continues from there because the line of succession is 18 people long. A senator's term is 6 years long. The Declaration of Independence was adopted July 4th, 1776.
