Basically, <u>two important changes were introduced to the definition of homeland security in 2010</u>. <u>First one</u> was about <em><u>Nation’s homeland security missions. </u></em>These missions are enterprise-wide, and not limited to the Department of Homeland Security. Federal Government, State, local, tribal, and territorial governments, the private sector, and other non-governmental organizations are responsible for executing these missions. The homeland security professionals must have a clear sense of what it takes to achieve this vision. <u>The second change</u> was about <em><u>three key and essential concepts for a comprehensive approach to homeland security: Security, Resilience and Customs and Exchange</u></em>.
Nowadays that is quite easy if you have a computer with an internet connection and know how to use it. You need to go to the Senate or the House web page and examine the roll call vote tallies to find the exact record of votes every day.
You can also go to the Congressional record web page for vote tallies for the two chambers of Congress. However it is important to make a difference between the different types of votes since not all of these are recorded by name. Voice votes are only voted by the Congressperson saying “aye” or “no” to a particular proposition or bill. Division or standing votes are voted by raising a hand and then the presiding officers count the Members.
