Obama is trying to get women to have equal pay for equal jobs. He believes that all of the American workers should be payed equally on their job. Women can do jobs that men can't and deserve to be paid the same for the same job.

The way that I see it is that it seems to be working well if they haven't changed it yet. The way that it has been is that if they want to serve it then they must accept what the rules say. So far the judges have served for life and this has been on their own decisions. All I can say is that if they want the job then they get what has been going on for the hundreds of years that it has been there.

Can be cancelled by fraud
Marriage- does not make a person a "citizen"- only shortens the time of the naturalization process

The requirements would be male or female, race does not matter, must be able to last long periods away from your family. Can not join if you're an only child, have a medical reason and on medication.
3. Send the mail in a way that is somewhat smuggling so that the enemy will most likely not be able to get it.
4. A new treaty between the three counties. We could just split the county into fourths so that we all get some of Harrison County.
