“The first three words of the Constitution of the United States are very powerful: We The People... It's powerful because it starts the document with those responsible for its creation and implementation. It doesn't say, "We the government..." or "We the chosen ones..." It says, "We the people..." Keep that in mind as you read the Constitution and live your life. For the United States Citizen, YOU are "the people." Act like it.”

“…he shall receive Ambassadors and other public Ministers; he shall take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed, and shall Commission all the Officers of the United States. Along the same lines as having a single point of contact for treaties, the President may also meet with foreign leaders on behalf of the United States. It clears up confusion in foreign affairs. If you are meeting with the President of the United States, you are meeting with the United States.”

“But the myth of job stability may be the least of our concerns. A 2011 study conducted by a team of social scientists at the University of Canberra in Australia concluded that having a job we hate is as bad for our health and sometimes worse than not having a job at all. Levels of depression and anxiety among people who are unhappy at work were the same or greater than those who were unemployed.”
