Ch 12 - Legislative Branch - Class 4 (Party Caucus)

  1. Debrief: State of the Union
    • What was the goal?
    • How did it compare to the Republican response? The Tea Party response?
  2. Create: Party Caucus
    • Where does each Senator stand on this issue?
      • Seeking re-election or retiring? 
      • Close election or safe seat? (Kay Hagan / Mary Landrieu / Mark Begich)
      • Moderate or liberal/conservative?  
      • State's cultural view on guns?
    • What is the public opinion?
    • What is your party's strategy for the floor debate?
      • Dems need two Republicans to sign a cloture motion to end debate and have a final vote
