As the scope of responsibilities of the President of the United States increased during the 20th century, the Vice-President came to be relied upon to handle greater responsibilities also.

A 21st century Vice-President, Joe Biden, said it well:  “The way the world has changed, the breadth and the scope of the responsibility an American president has virtually requires a vice president to handle serious assignments, just because the president’s plate is so very full."  Biden was quoted in the book, The American Vice Presidency: From Irrelevance to Power, published by Smithsonian Books in 2014.  

Another point might be made about 20th century Vice-Presidents -- especially in the latter half of the century.  A number of Vice-Presidents became President because of things that happened to the President.  .  President Franklin Roosevelt died while in office, and  was succeeded by his Vice-President, Harry Truman (in 1945).  Vice-President Lyndon Johnson became President when John F. Kennedy was assassinated in 1963.  Gerald Ford rose from Vice-President to President when Richard Nixon resigned to avoid impeachment. 

In the current situation of American politics, with partisan politics strongly dividing Congress, Vice-President Mike Pence has functioned a number of times as the tie-breaking vote in the Senate on important matters -- another way the Vice-Presidency has taken on greater responsibility lately.

Discuss the strengths and limitations of the “Clovis people” to describe the peopling of the Americas. PLEASE HELP AND EXPLAIN!!
kakasveta [241]

Answer:

The Clovis culture was one of the earliest Native cultures in the United States about 13,500 to 12,800 years ago. The people of this culture consisted of Stone Age Paleoliths who moved in small groups and hunted mammoths with bony and flint-speared spears, among others.

The Clovis culture prevailed predominantly in what is now the United States, but some discoveries have even been made since Panama. The best known traces of this culture are the remains found in a cave near the town of Clovis, New Mexico, dating back 13,000 years. After only a few centuries of flourishing, the Clovis culture began its rapid division into numerous new local traditions across the continent and disappeared.

<span>The environmental factors should be considered first and foremost. While the potential job prospects would be beneficial but their benefits are not as important as the other factor With the environmental dangers you have to consider the long term and short term effects it will have. If the representative from the company is to be believed the new drill site will help decrease pollution across the area and create a safer environment for the current generation and future generations. If the drill site is indeed dangerous, everyone in the town is at risk off being hurt by hazardous materials. The safety of the citizens is more important than creating jobs.</span>
