Question 1: The Federal Communications Commission has responsibility for issues pertaining to the internet. It is an independent agency, not under any department. To a certain degree, it is a good idea for it to watch over the internet.

Question 2: The following are clearly the most important of the federal agencies and commissions: the Defense Department, the Department of Justice, and the Food and Drug Administration.

Question 3: The president’s ‘Cabinet’ consists of the secretaries from each department. They are appointed by the incumbent.

Question 4: If Mitt Romney wins the coming election and appoints Chris Christie to the position of Attorney General, seeing as Christie cannot be the Attorney General and governor of New Jersey at the same time, someone else will be elected for governor in New Jersey.

Question 5: Information that would be interesting to seek in a FOIA request would be an update on military technology. It would be interesting to see what some of the most brilliant engineers and scientists in the country are working on, or have already accomplished. This information would be found by filing a request to the Defense Department.

Question 6: Executive orders should obviously not be allowed. They are a way for the president to basically get anything they want.

More importantly, how will our country turn out if this is allowed to go on?

Question 8: The Food and Drug Administration will decide whether or not adult stem therapy will be allowed in the US. Political pressure is highly influential when making these decisions.
