Madam President, we are now 128 days into the fiscal year. For 128 days, we have failed to fulfill our basic responsibility of funding the government. Congress has not reached a bipartisan budget deal, even though, in past years, we always would have by this time. So the government is on autopilot. Across America, just as I find in Vermont, around families' kitchen tables, people are asking how to address the opioid crisis. Veterans are asking us why it takes months to get a doctor's appointment at the VA. People are worrying about having to stop working if they can't get quality and affordable childcare. So many have stopped me in the street to talk about how they are struggling to pay off college loans. Well, it has been 128 days. Instead of saying: We will get to it, the check is in the mail, let's actually get to it, we have had four continuing resolutions. It is about time we get serious about a bipartisan deal and get the budget going. Let's, for once, get past the sound bites and start dealing with substance. Required:
a. Describe an action Congress could take to address the issues outlined in the excerpt.
b. In the context of this excerpt, explain how the use of congressional power described in part A can be affected by its interaction with the president.
c. In the context of this excerpt, explain how the interaction between Congress and the presidency explained in part B can be affected by linkage institutions.
