The Scenario:
Assume the role of a senator from a small state with a large naval base that is at the heart of the state\u2019s economy. The president has created a defense spending reform package that is designed to construct a smarter and more up-to-date national security budget\u2014an objective that definitely serves the national interest.
However, \u00a0part of the reform package is the closing of military bases that no longer serve any vital purpose and redirecting that money into programs that will protect national security. Finally, one of the bases that must be closed is the huge naval base in their state. Their constituents are certain to take a short-term economic loss but the nation is better served with this closing. <\/p>\n
In a two page-paper answer the following questions:
What should\u00a0you\u00a0do when\u00a0you\u00a0are called upon to cast a vote on the president\u2019s program?
How would\u00a0you\u00a0act\u2014as a trustee or a delegate?
How might\u00a0your\u00a0decision be influenced if the president is of the same political party versus the opposition?
Would\u00a0your\u00a0seniority matter in deciding how to vote? What kind of pressure might they get from their constituents?\u00a0\u00a0 <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
