O Holy Night

Who is the Speaker of the House and what are his duties?&nbsp; How does a bill become law?&nbsp; What are the three branches of government.&nbsp; Let’s be honest, so many in our country are not fully educated on civics.&nbsp; &nbsp; If we don’t understand how Congress works, we get frustrated with the whole process.&nbsp; This leads to an overall sentiment that Congress is broken.&nbsp; Our guest today likes to say “without public trust, you cannot govern.&nbsp; Without governing, people get angry and hostile and walk away from the system.” Today, joining our student panel to discuss how we can begin to fix this, is our special guest Michael S. Johnson, author of “Fixing Congress: Restoring Power to the People.”
