Illinois Congress Candidate 2014 Quality Leadership

By Lila Bryant


The world atlas gives us a clear indication that the earth is divided into continents. Every continent is further subdivided into countries. No matter how they were formed, these countries have a system of government. The state forms part of the greater nation called the United States of America. This is a state that will be exercising its right to elect leaders in the year 2014. Every Illinois congress candidate 2014 must be put to the test. Citizens of Illinois will exercise their democratic right to give to themselves the best leader.

As an advanced nation in the world, the United States has a better representative leadership style. Leaders are elected right from the grass root. Its congress is divided into two chambers. These are the House of Representatives and the Senate. Both representations are elected. The state has more than one hundred state representative and fifty nine senate members. The General Assembly must have a quorum of one hundred and eighteen members. This two-tier legislature is regulated by the constitution.

There are various requirements for one to be elected to the General Assembly. Age is one very important factor. One must be 21 years and above. Citizenship to the United States of America is another significant requirement. You must be a U. S citizen. One must also have been a resident in the district he or she wants to represent for at least 2 years.

In any democratic process, people must have a chance to belong to any political party they wish to associate with. American politics has major political parties that majority of its citizens belong to. All the big and small parties normally register their candidates for the elections. Some candidates who do not want to belong to any party normally enter the race as independent candidates. There are regulations also for the voters. One must be a United States citizen to be eligible to vote. The minimum age for voting is 18 years and above. The voter has to have been a permanent resident of Illinois for the past 30 days.

The state cannot be managed as a whole entity. Therefore it has been subdivided into 18 districts. This forms the eighteen congressional districts. Each district produces a congressman or congresswoman who once elected becomes the representatives of the State. These representatives will be elected in November 2014. Federal elections will also be held on the same date. The United States Senate, the Governor and other officers of the state will be elected.

The United States constitution puts all legislative powers in the hands of the congress. The General Assembly includes the House of Representatives and the senate. It also gives the two houses equal rights as partners in the legislative process. Both chambers must consent for any legislative process to be enacted. Each chamber is also allowed some exceptional powers. For any impeachment to go through, the Senate is required to vote two-thirds majority in support of the impeachment motion.

A sitting congress season lasts for a period of two years. The senators and the congressmen or congresswomen can be re elected or thrown out for another two years. Their obligation to the electorate is what matters most.

Both chambers must work towards moving the economy of the state and the nation to the best level possible. Candidates must be vetted and made to make good representation
