The National Emergencies Act of 1976 and the Congressional Budget and Impoundment Control Act of 1974 shifted the balance of power between Congress and the President.
The National Emergencies Act of 1976 restricted the president’s emergency powers, because in 1933 the Congress empowered the President with powers to close national banks and when Pearl Harbor happened Roosevelt was granted broader control over the economy.
The Congressional Budget and Impoundment Control Act of 1974 established a permanent budget committee for each house. Congress also limited the president’s ability to impound funds.
Also, in 1996 the Congress authorized a bill that gave the president power to use the line-item veto, but this authorization was later considered unconstitutional by the US Supreme Court.
was the sand bar saloon built in the middle of canadian river
A saloon proprietor’s dream evolved in the middle of the South Canadian River in the late 1800s, but the dream had its ups and downs.
“High Times and Low Lifes at the Sand Bar Town Saloons” is a novel written by the great-grandson of a sand bar saloon owner.
Scott Weeden makes good reading of the life on the river between Purcell, Indian Territory and Lexington, Oklahoma Territory, in the late 19th century.
Some of the writing is fictitious, including the names, but some of the read comes from old family stories.
Weeden’s great-grandfather D.W. (Dave) Weeden and his brother, Lafe, are portrayed throughout the book as two ornery men trying to make a living in the new territories.
The railroad was being built and settlers were coming in droves to the new land. On the Lexington side, saloons numbered many, while in Purcell, the dry side, didn’t have so many.
Dave decided to get a partner for one of the most farfetched ideas he had ever had. A moonshiner himself, he already supplied many of the saloons with his potent brew.
The idea came to him while sitting on Red Hill overlooking the mass of railroad building and growth of the town.
The moonshiner got a partner and the show started. His partner, a card shark, so to speak, would handle that side of the business, while Weeden made his mark behind the bar.
They also brought in a woman partner that took care of the upstairs of the new saloon.
Building a saloon right in the middle of the river was the key to a prosperous undertaking.
This would bring business from both sides of the river, plus the sand bar saloon would provide drink for those going to Lexington for their spirits.
Rains and flooding were two obstacles the two didn’t think too much about until they hit. The first saloon washed away and crumbled under the frantic waters of the roaring South Canadian River.
Weeden had an idea then to build a barge-type saloon. A boat builder did that for the men which was an overnight success.
A wooden walkway was built to the barge so customers wouldn’t get their feet wet coming back and forth.
The floating saloon and gambling hall proved itself even after a flood took it down river and buried the boat in a sandbar.
It took some digging and maneuvering to get the boat back up stream. The idea of making all that money quickly saw the boat back at its place on the river.
Not only did Weeden and his partner have their floating saloon, so did a few others. All of the men prospered and made themselves a good living.
Excerpts from The Purcell Register top each chapter, and the author did his background work for excerpts to match the contents.
The short novel is interesting and funny. It gives a look at how things used to be in the area.
In the spring of 1889, the population of Purcell was listed at 7,000 to 8,000 people. A lot of interesting facts are portrayed in the book.
The author lives in Denver, Colorado. This is his first novel, but he told The Purcell Register he had a few more in the works.
Scott Weeden grew up in the Washington area. He graduated high school there in 1966.
His late father was Lewis Eugene Weeden and his mother, is Marion, who lives in Norman. His sister, Lynne Holkan also resides in Norman. Weeden’s grandfather was Lewis Ernest. He came to the Purcell area .

How many battles did Alexander the Great lose
Alexander the Great never lost a battle throughout his extensive military campaigns, from the beginning of his conquests in 334 BCE until his death in 323 BCE. His unbroken string of victories was a testament to his military genius, despite the vast numbers and diverse challenges faced. The only significant setback was his army's refusal to continue the campaign in India, not a defeat in battle.
Explanation:Throughout his military campaigns, Alexander the Great is not recorded to have lost any battles. From the moment he embarked on his conquests in 334 BCE, Alexander demonstrated unparalleled military genius and leadership, decisively defeating the Persians at key battles such as Issus, Gaugamela, and subjugating territories as far as India.
His strategies involved rapid movements, tactical flexibility, and the brilliant use of his smaller, but highly trained and disciplined Macedonian army against larger, but less cohesive forces. Despite facing vast numbers and challenging conditions, including an arduous journey back to Persia and conflict within his ranks, Alexander's campaign remained undefeated on the battlefield.
The only 'defeat' Alexander experienced was not in battle but from his own troops' refusal to advance further into India, leading to the eventual retreat back to Babylon, where he died in 323 BCE. However, this mutiny did not culminate in a military loss, but rather, highlighted the extreme limits of physical and mental endurance his army was willing to endure. Alexander's death marked the end of his campaign and the subsequent division of his empire among his generals, the Diadochi, rather than a defeat in combat.

True or false: River travel between the East Coast and the new settlements in the West was the easiest way to move people and goods.
Answer:
false
Explanation
The river travel was not the easiest, and actually not even a way that was possible for travel between the East Coast and the new settlements in the West. The main reason for this is the geography. Between the East Coast and the Midwest there's mountain ranges, running from north to south, and between the Midwest and the West Coast there's also mountains running from north to south. That makes the river travel restricted to only one area, as there is no rivers that run from east to west and cut through the mountain ranges. There's only one area where this has been possible, which is the northernmost part of the United States, but taken as a whole this way of travel was not possible.

how did conflict in europe help american shipping industries prosper
Conflict in Europe benefitted American shipping industries by providing opportunities for neutral trade, creating demand for shipbuilding during wartime, and leading to the expansion of industrialization, which increased the need for shipping services both domestically and internationally.
Conflict in Europe, particularly during the early 19th century and early 20th century, helped American shipping industries prosper in several ways. Due to neutral trade during European wars, the United States was able to conduct a substantial and profitable business by carrying goods to and between European ports. However, Great Britain made various attempts to discourage this. During World War I, when Europe was threatened with being starved by German submarines, the United States led in shipbuilding, which bolstered its shipping industry significantly.
Moreover, American industrialists supported the construction of a modern navy to gain access to foreign markets, helping to expand the transatlantic economy, which in turn gave more business to American shipping. Diplomatic alliances facilitated the expansion, which benefited both the American businesses involved in trade and consumers. After the War of 1812, the growth in industrialization within America created new internal markets for raw materials and led to a need for more American-made manufactured goods, further boosting domestic shipping.
Prior to and after the War of 1812, the United States experienced shifts in its export-import economy. Initially exporting raw materials and importing manufactured goods, after the war, the emphasis shifted towards supporting its own burgeoning industrial sector. The utilization of steam power over water power also allowed for greater flexibility and expansion of manufacturing, indirectly supporting the shipping industry by increasing the quantity and diversity of goods needing transportation.

do you think jacksons response to the nullification crisis promoted democracy.why or why not
Andrew Jackson's response to the Nullification Crisis had mixed implications for democracy. While it demonstrated the power of the federal government, it also suppressed state sovereignty and the ability to challenge federal authority.
The Nullification Crisis of 1832-1833 arose when South Carolina declared that federal tariffs were unconstitutional and would not be enforced within the state. Jackson responded forcefully by ensuring that federal laws were upheld and by threatening the use of military force.
On one hand, Jackson's actions promoted democracy by reinforcing the supremacy of federal laws and the Union. This action prevented fragmentation and chaos, thereby maintaining a stable national government.
On the other hand, his response could be seen as undemocratic because it stifled state rights and dissent. By using the power of the federal government to suppress a state's objection, Jackson curtailed the democratic principle of states serving as a check on federal power.
