Loretta Lynch was recently confirmed by the senate. It was a 56-43 vote that resulted in her being appointed. She is replacing Eric Holder for this position. Eric Holder has been the attorney general since Obama became president. During her hearings to become the attorney general she talked about her plans to protect against terrorist threats and increase cyber-security. She also plans on making better relations between law enforcement and minority communities. She is expected to take office on Monday.
I think this is good. Eric holder wasn't doing his job and hopefully Loretta Lynch will better enforce border security and do her job. When she gets into office she will be immediately met by several financial cases involving US banks helping citizens evade taxes. I hope that Loretta Lynch does her job and makes sure that everything goes smoothly.
This relates to AP Government because it is related to the approving process of the senate. It shows the checks and balances system in place to make sure no branch is to powerful. I am glad this is in place to make sure that random people aren't appointed to these very important tasks.
I Agree with you Jack. It's good that we have these checks and balances in place, otherwise a president could chose to employ someone woefully inadequate for their job.
ReplyDeleteI do agree with you Jack, it is good that she was appointed and that there will be somebody more acquitted to the job.
