We are unusual here in the United States in that our head of state and our head of government are the same person: President Barack H. Obama. In the United Kingdom, Israel, Canada, Germany, and many places across the globe, the roles are divided, with the Head of State representing the whole country and its […]

Not much to report b/c, as I pointed out last week, committee reports won’t get read into the record until after the General Assembly reconvenes today.
