TEST 3 (Variant A) 1. Read the text: A BICAMERAL CONGRESS OF THE USA * Article I of the Constitution grants all legislative powers of the federal government to a Congress divided into two chambers - a Senate and a House of Representatives. The Senate is composed of two members for each state as provided by the Constitution. Membership in the House is based on population. The total number of members of the House of Representatives has been determined by Congress. That number is then divided among the states according to their populations. Today the House is composed of 435 members, roughly one for each 530.000 persons. Regardless of its population, every state is constitutionally guaranteed at least one member of the House of Representatives. Every two years, the voters of each constituency choose a representative for Congress. Senators are chosen in state-wide elections held in even-numbered years. The senatorial term is six years, and every two years one-third of the Senate stands for election. The Constitution requires that US senators must be at least 30 years of age, citizens of the United States for at least nine years, and residents of the states from which they are elected. Members of the House of Representatives must be at least 25, citizens for seven years, and residents of the states which send them to Congress. Congress meets in regular session each January 3 and remains in session till late in the year. Sessions are held in the Capitol in Washington. D.C. Each house of Congress has the power to introduce legislation. Each house can vote against legislation passed by the other house. In that event, a conference committee made up of members from both houses must work out a compromise acceptable to both sides before the bill becomes law. The Senate also has powers especially reserved to that body, including the authority to confirm presidential appointments of high officials and ambassadors of the federal government as well as authority to ratify all treaties by a two-thirds vote. In the case of impeachment of federal officials, the House has the sole right to bring charges of misconduct that can lead to an impeachment trial. The Senate has the sole power to try impeachment cases and to find officials guilty or not guilty. A finding of guilt results in the removal of the federal official from public office.

TEST 3 (Variant B) 1. Read the text: THE LAWMAKING PROCESS Committees play a dominant role in congressional proceedings. At present the Senate has 16 standing (or permanent) committees; the House of Representatives has 22. Each specialises in specific areas of legislation: foreign affairs, defence, banking, agriculture, commerce, appropriations and other fields. Every bill introduced in either house is referred to a committee for study and recommendation. The majority party in each house controls the committee process. Committee chairmen are selected by a caucus of party members. Minority parties are proportionally represented on the committees according to their strength in each house. Bills are introduced by a variety of methods. Some are drawn up by standing committees; some by special committees created to deal with specific legislative issues: and some may be suggested by the president or other executive officers. Citizens and organisations outside Congress may suggest legislation to its members, and individual members themselves may initiate bills. After introduction, bills are sent to designated committees which schedule a series of debates. The hearing process, which can last several weeks or months, opens the legislative process to public participation. * When a committee has acted favourably on a bill, the proposed legislation is then sent to the floor for open debate. In the Senate, the rules permit virtually unlimited debate. In the House, because of the large number of members, the Rules Committee usually sets limits. When debate is ended, members vote either to approve the bill, defeat it, table it - which means setting it aside and is tantamount to defeat - or return it to committee. A bill passed by one house is sent to the other for action. If the bill is amended by the second house, a conference committee composed of members of both houses attempts to reconcile the differences. * Once passed by both houses, the bill is sent to the president. The president has the option of signing the bill - by which it becomes law - or vetoing it. A bill vetoed by the president must be reapproved by a two-thirds vote of both houses to become law. The president may again either refuse to sign the bill or veto it. In that case, the bill becomes law without his signature 10 days after it reaches him.

TEST 3 (Variant C) 1. Read the text: BRITISH PARLIAMENT The supreme legislative authority in the United Kingdom is the Queen in Parliament, that is to say the Queen and the two Houses of Parliament - the House of Lords and the House of Commons. The life of a United Kingdom Parliament is five years. During its life, it can make or unmake any law; it can destroy by a statute the most firmly established convention of the constitution; it can legalise past illegalities and thus reverse the decisions of the court; and it has even the power to prolong its own life by legislative means beyond the normal period of five years without consulting the electorate. In law, therefore, the supremacy of Parliament is absolute. In practice, Parliament does not exercise its supremacy in this way. * A Parliament begins and ends with a proclamation made by the Sovereign. The time between the meeting of a Parliament and its prorogation or dissolution is called a session. The average length of a session is about 160 sitting days, divided into four periods. Great Britain is the only major industrial country in the world where the medieval custom of choosing legislators on the hereditary principle still survives. * The House of Lords consists of nearly 900 peers, including 26 spiritual lords. Descendants of the ancient land-owning aristocracy are in a minority in the House. Half of the present House of Lords hold peerages created during the present century. One-third of the Lords today are company directors. The Lords can reject a bill once; if it then passes through the Commons in a Second Session it can receive the Royal Assent. The Lords cannot reject or amend any financial bill passed through the Commons. The House of Commons is elected by an almost universal adult suffrage. Any British citizen aged 21 or over, not otherwise disqualified (as for example, members of the House of Lords, certain clergy, undischarged bankrupts, civil servants, holders of judicial office, members of the regular armed services and the police forces) may be elected a Member of Parliament (MP). There are at present 650 members of the House of Commons. Members of the House of Commons receive a salary for their parliamentary work and hold their seats during the life of a Parliament. They are elected either at a general election, which takes place after a Parliament has been dissolved, or at a by-election, which is held when a vacancy occurs in the House as a result of the death or resignation of a member, or as a result of the elevation of a member of the House of Commons to the House of Lords.

TEST 3 (Variant D) 1. Read the text: BRITISH LEGISLATURE A hundred years ago a big proportion of Parliamentary Bills were drafted and introduced by private members. A successful private member’s Bill of any importance is an extreme rarity nowadays; the legislative time of the House is so completely monopolised by the government that a private Bill has no chance of reaching the Statute Book unless the government is prepared to find time for it. All the work of preparing a government Bill is done by the permanent civil servants in the department responsible for the Bill. It is these officials who play the key role in advising the Minister concerned and drafting a Bill in accordance with the policy of the government. * There are broadly two stages in the life of a Bill: the period of preparation before it is published and introduced into Parliament, and its subsequent progress through Parliament. The first of these two stages is by far the most important, for it is during this preliminary period that the secret consultations take place with any industrial, commercial, financial or other interests that may be affected. Financial initiative is the sole prerogative of the Cabinet. This means that an ordinary MP cannot move any amendment to a Bill, or make any proposal, which would result in an increased financial charge on the Exchequer; nor can a private member make any proposal for increased taxation. Legislation is initiated by the introduction of bills in either house. A bill is given three readings in the house in which it is introduced. When a bill is introduced into Parliament there is an opportunity for the moving of the amendments. But in practice the vast majority of bills emerge from the elaborate process of second reading, committee stage, report stage and third reading in substantially their original forms. If a bill is passed in the house in which it is introduced, it is sent to the other house, where it is submitted to the same procedure. If a bill is passed by both houses, it becomes law. In theory the sovereign has a right to veto a bill, but this has not occurred since the 18th century. Likewise the House of Lords has little power to stop or delay bills that have been passed by the Commons. It is hoped that the members of the Lords - often senior political figures who have been knighted for their services - will use their experience to suggest amendments to a bill. The Lords cannot interfere with a money bill or with a bill that has been passed by the Commons in two consecutive sessions.

Read the text: THE USA EXECUTIVE POWER * The Constitution vests the executive power in the president. It also provides for the election of a vice president who succeeds to the presidency in case of the death, resignation or incapacitation of the president. The president is elected by the people through the electoral college for a four-year term, limited to two terms. A native-born American citizen, at least 35 years old and at least 14 years a resident of the United States may be elected to the office. Candidates for the presidency are chosen by political parties several months before the presidential election, which is held every four years. The chief duty of the president is to protect the Constitution and enforce the laws made by Congress. The president has other powers: he recommends legislation to Congress, vetoes bills, appoints federal judges, heads of federal departments and agencies and other principal federal officials, exercises the function of commander-in-chief of the armed forces. Within the executive branch itself, the president has broad powers to manage national affairs and the workings of the federal government. The president can issue rules, regulations and instructions called executive orders, which have the force of law upon federal agencies. As commander-in-chief of the armed forces of the United States, the president may also call into federal service the state units of the National Guard. In times of war or national emergency, Congress may grant the president even broader powers to manage the national economy and protect the security of the United States. The day-to-day enforcement and administration of federal laws is in the hands of various executive departments, created by Congress to deal with specific areas of national and international affairs. The heads of the departments, chosen by the president and approved by the Senate, form a council of advisers generally known as the president’s “Cabinet”. Cabinet members act as advisers; they retain the responsibility for directing the activities of the government in specific areas of concern. Each department has thousands of employees, with offices throughout the country as well as in Washington. The departments are divided into divisions, bureaus, offices and services, each with specific duties. There are 14 departments, some of them are: the Department of Commerce, the Department of Defence, the Department of the Treasury, the Department of Justice, the Department of the Interior, the Department of Education.
