Ukusebenza kwiNdlu yeeNtsimbi kumele enye yezona nkqubo zibalulekileyo kwidemokhrasi yaseMerika, esebenza njengesiseko sendlela eyakhiwe ngayo imithetho, impikiswano, kwaye ekugqibeleni imiswa ngayo. IBhunga leNtlanganiso, elidla ngokubizwa ngokuba liqumrhu elikhulu lehlabathi elinolwahlulelwano, lisebenza kwinkqubo entsonkothileyo yenkqubo yokuvota egqiba isiphelo somthetho ochaphazela izigidi zabantu baseMelika. Ngoxa abemi bengaphozisi iibhola ngqo kwivotelo eBhungani yeBhunga, ukuqonda indlela le nkqubo ekunika amandla ngayo ukuba ubandakanyeke ngokunelisa ngakumbi nabameli bakho abanyuliweyo kwaye iphembele iziphumo zomthetho ezichaphazela ubomi bakho bemihla ngemihla.

Iinkqubo zokuvota zeNdlu yeeNdlu yeenkulungwane ezimbini, ziphuhlisa ubuchule obuntsonkothileyo obulungelelanisa ulawulo loninzi namalungelo amancinane, umelo nomelo lwesizwe, kunye nenyathelo elikhawulezileyo lokucinga ngokucingisisa. Ukuba ngaba ungummi oxhalabileyo ofuna ukuqonda impembelelo yengingqi yakho, umfundi wenzululwazi yezobupolitika, okanye umxhasi ozimiseleyo ofuna ukuphembelela inkqubo, ukuthatha inxaxheba ephambili ekuvoti yeBhunga leBhotwe leBhotwe liyimfuneko ekuthabatheni inxaxheba kwezentlalo-ntle.

Isiseko somGaqo-siseko sokuQonda

UMgaqo-siseko waseUnited States wamisela iNdlu yeQela njengelinye lamagumbi amabini kwiBhunga, eyinika igunya elikhethekileyo kunye neembopheleleko. ICandelo I, iCandelo 3 lomGaqo-siseko owanikelwa ntlandlolo ukuba abaququzeleli bendlu yowiso-mthetho bakhethwe yizindlu zowiso-mthetho zikarhulumente, nangona iSimi se-17 sokuHlaziyiweyo, sagunyaziswa ngo1913, sakuguqula oku ukuhlahlela ngokuthe ngqo abantu. Olu tshintsho lubalulekileyo lwaguqula indlela abaquququzeleli abakujonga ngayo ukuphendula kwabo nokusabela kwimibandela ye-APRCM.

Imo nganye, kungakhathaliseki ukuba inabemi bani, inyulwa ngamalungu amabini endlu yoonongendi asebenza amabinzana eminyaka emithandathu. Olu melo lulinganayo luqinisekisa ukuba amazwe amancinci agcine impembelelo ebalulekileyo kwinkqubo yowiso-mthetho. UmGaqo-siseko ufuna ukuba iCathena ibe yijaji yonyulo lwamalungu ayo neemfaneleko, kwaye inika igumbi igunya lokumisela imithetho yalo yokuqhuba ishishini, kuquka iinkqubo zokuvota.

Umongameli onguMongameli oyisekela we-United States ukhonza njengoMongameli weNdlu yeeNtlanganiso kodwa uvote kuphela ukuze aphule amaqhina. Eli lungiselelo lomgaqo-siseko liye langqinela ukuba ligqibelele kwizihlandlo ezininzi kwimbali yamaMelika, linesekela leenkokeli ezivota zokwaphula amaqhina kumthetho ochaphazelekayo, isiqinisekiso somthetho wetyala, kunye nemicimbi yezomthetho. IBhunga likwanyula uMongameli promore, ngokwesithethe elilungu elide kakhulu leqela, eliphethe kwiqela elininzi, eliphethe kwimicimbi egxekayo yoMongameli woBuongameli.

Iindidi Zeencwadi Zendlu Yezigwebo: Ingongoma Ebalulekileyo

Iintetho zelizwi

Uvotelo lwelizwi lumela eyona ndlela iqhelekileyo nelungele ukukhutshwa yokuvota kwiBhunga. Ngexesha levoti, umphathi-mikhosi owongamelayo ucela abameli ukuba babonise ngamazwi inkxaso okanye inkcaso yabo ngokuthi "yebo" okanye "no" ngokulandelelana. Igosa eliphetheyo ngoko limisela ukuba yeliphi icala elikhoyo elisekelwe kumthamo nakubukhulu bempendulo. Iivoti zelizwi zisetyenziswa ngokwesiqhelo kwimilinganiselo engeyoyayo i-oburhulumente, imicimbi yomgaqo ebhaliweyo, kunye nerhafuthelo lobubanzi.

Inzuzo yamavoti elizwi ixhomekeke ekusebenzeni kwawo kakuhle, . bavumela iNdlu yeeNtsimi ukuba ihambe ngokukhawuleza ngekhalenda yayo yowiso-mthetho ngaphandle kwenkqubo enika ixesha lokushicilela ivoti yomntu ngamnye. Noko ke, amavoti elizwi awayikhi ingxelo yoluntu ngendlela abavoteli bendlu nganye, enokuba yingxaki yokuphendula. Nayiphi na inginginya icela indlela eyahlukileyo yokuvota ukuba ikholelwa ukuba ukuzimisela komphathi ophetheyo bekungachananga okanye ukuba bafuna ukuba indawo yabo ibhalwe phantsi.

Rola uLwazi oluNgenisiweyo

Uvotelo lwengingqi, lwaziwa ngokuba luvotelwe okanye uvotelo olurekhodiweyo, lunika ingxelo epheleleyo kawonke-wonke yesikhundla somphathi ngamnye. UmGaqo-siseko ufuna uvotelo olugobekileyo xa omnye-isihlanu wabaququzeleli bekhona ecela. Ngexesha lokuvota okuqengqelekayo, umabhalane ubiza igama lomphathi ngamnye ngonobumba, kunye nabaquququzeleli ngokuvota kwabo: "ye," "y," okanye ngamanye amaxesha "ufikelo" ukubonisa ukuba khona ngaphandle kokuthatha indawo.

Ubugcisa bezi mini buye bachaza le nkqubo ngokuqwalasela. Ngoku iNdlu yeNdlu isebenzisa inkqubo yokuvota ngombane apho abaququzeleli bangaphosa khona amavoti abo kwidesika yabo besebenzisa izikhululo zokuvota. Ibhodi yokubonisa kwigumbi ibonisa iziphumo zokwenene, ivumela abaququzeleli, abasebenzi, kunye nabajongi ukuba balandelele ukuvota njengoko kuqhubeka.

Le ngxelo kawonke-wonke ibaluleka ngokukhethekileyo ebudeni bamaphulo okhetho xa iingxelo zokuvota zihlolisiswa. Iivoti zokukhupha zikwanika iingxelo eziluncedo kwizazinzulu zezobupolitika, iintatheli, namaqela ajongela amaqela ajonge iipakethi zemithetho kunye nehambo yabachongi.

Izivumelwano Zokuvumelana

Izivumelwano zesivumelwano sesivumelwano sesivumelwano simela inkalo eyodwa yenkqubo yeNdlu yeeNdlela yeeNdlela zokulwa evumela igumbi ukuba lishenxise ishishini ngokubeka ecaleni imithetho esesikweni. Le zivumelwano zifuna, njengoko igama libonisa, imvume yabo bonke abaququzeleli abakhoyo. Ibloko enye yokungavumi isicelo esingqinelanayo, ukunika abaququzeleli-sixhobo sokuzixhathisa esibalulekileyo kunenkqubo yomthetho.

IBhunga lisebenzisa izivumelwano ezivumelanayo ngeenjongo ezahlukeneyo: ukuvota, ukulinganisela ixesha lengxoxo, ukuphelisa iimfuno zokufundwa kwetyala, nokumisela izindululo zokuqwalasela ukuhlaziywa kwetyala. Izivumelwano ezidibeneyo, ezisoloko zixoxwa ziinkokeli zeqela, zinokuyila ukuqwalaselwa okupheleleyo komthetho omkhulu, ukuchaza ukuba yiyiphi ingxubusho eya kuqwalaselwa, ukuba iya kuhlala ixesha elingakanani, na xa iza kuqulwa ixesha lokuvota.

Inkqubo yokuvumana kwesivumelwano ibonakalisa isithethe seBhunga lokukhusela amalungelo amancinane kunye negunya lomntu ngamnye. Ngokungafaniyo neNdlu yabameli, apho inkoliso yeqela isebenzisa ulawulo oluqinileyo kwiingxoxo zomgangatho, ukuxhomekeka kweBhunga kwimvume edibeneyo kuthetha ukuba kwanemnikeli omnye ungayichaphazela ngokuphawulekayo imisebenzi yegumbi. Eli gunya liye lakhokelela ekuqheliseni abaququzeleli ababeka "abalawuli" kumthetho okanye kwimiba yomthetho, ngokunempumelelo, de ixakelelene nemicimbi yabo.

Ulwahlulo

Uvoti lokwahlula, nangona kunqabile ukusetyenziswa kumsebenzi weNdlu yeeNtlanganiso yanamhlanje, lunika ukhetho oluphakathi phakathi kwevoti yelizwi kunye nokuvota okungqukuva. Ngexesha levoti yecandelo, umphathi ophetheyo ucela abaququzeleli ukuba bame baze babalwe, okokuqala abo baxhasayo baze bachaswe. Le ndlela yenza ingxelo ebhaliweyo epheleleyo yokuvota ngaphandle kokushicilela iindawo zabachongi ngabanye. Umahluko ungacelwa xa isiphumo sevoti licacile kodwa abaququzeleli befuna ukuchitha ixesha elifunekayo lokuvota epheleleyo.

Ukuphelisa impikiswano kwaye iqhubekele ekuvoteni, iNdlu yeNtsimbi mayifake igalelo lokukhutshwa kwamaza, elifuna intsalela emithathu enesifebe-sihlanu soninzi qhamga xa bonke abaququzeleli bekhona. Inkqubo yokukhutshwa iqala xa ubuncinane abalinganisi bali-16 betyikitya intshukumo yokuhamba. Ukuhamba akunakukhethwa de kube iintsuku ezimbini emva kokubekwa kwayo, kwaye ukuba ihlwili iyabheniswa, impikiswano ilinganiselwe kwiiyure ezingamashumi amathathu ngaphambi kokuba ivote yokugqibela ivele.

Imfuno yama-60 ee-rasethi ezi-60 ithe yacaca kakhulu kumashumi eminyaka akutshanje njengoko ukudityaniswa kwemimandla ehlukeneyo kukhula. Umthetho omkhulu ngoku usoloko ujongene nezisongelo ze-banbuster, unyusela ngokunempumelelo umqobo wokudlula ukusuka kumavoti angama-51 ukuya kumavoti angama-60. Le nto ikhokelela kwingxoxo esoloko isenziwa ngokutshintsha okanye ukuphelisa i-fivbberster, ngokukhuthaza ukuba ikhusele amalungelo amancinane kwaye ikhuthaza ukulalanisa, lo gama abagxeki besithi ibangela ukuba kubekho imiqobo kunye nokuthintela umthetho omninzi.

Okubalulekileyo kukuba, i-finbuster ayiyomfuneko yomgaqo-siseko kodwa kunoko ngumthetho weBhunga elinokutshintshwa yigumbi ngokwalo. Kwiminyaka yakutshanje, iNdlu yeNtsimbi ishenxise i-denbuster kwiindidi ezithile zoshishino ngamanye amaxesha ibizwa ngokuba yi "ukhetho lwenyukliya" ngo-2013, iNdlu yeNdlu yeNdlu yeNtshona Koloni ikhuphe i-ekhonthi ePhakamileyo, kwaye ngo-2017, yandisa olu tshintsho kutshintsho kwiiNkundla ePhakamileyo. Noko ke, i-Piciocebster ihlala ihleli endaweni yeemali ezininzi.

Uhlaziyo Loqingqo - mali: Imali Ekhethekileyo

Uhlaziyo lohlaziyo lunika umahluko obalulekileyo kumntwana ozeleyo, uvumela umthetho othile onxulumene noqingqo-mali ukuba udlulise ngobuninzi obulula. Ukwenziwa koMthetho woHlalo-mali lweCallonal ngo- 1974, uxolelwaniso lwaluyilelwe ekuqaleni ukwenza kube lula ngeNgqungquthela ukuzalisekisa izigqibo zoqingqo-mali. Kodwa ke, iye yaguqukela ekubeni sisixhobo esinamandla sokudlulisa iinguqu ezinkulu zenkqubo ngaphandle kokufuna iivoti ezingama-60.

Amatyala okubuyisana kufuneka ahambelane neemfuno ezingqongqo. Bangaquka kuphela amalungiselelo achaphazela ngqo imali, ingeniso, okanye umda wamatyala. "Umthetho weByrd," obizwa ngegama leMphathi uRobert Byrd, othintelayo ukuquka "iiilungiselelo ezingeyonto eluncedo kuqingqo-mali oluthe ngqo. Indlu yeNtlanganiso inyanzelisa le mithetho, igqiba ukuba yiyiphi imiqathango enokuhlala kumatyala oxolelaniso.

Bobabini amaqela baye basebenzisa uxolelwaniso ukuphuhlisa izinto eziphambili zowiso-mthetho. Imizekelo yakutshanje iquka 2017 iTreas Cuts kunye noMthetho weSebe, iSicwangciso sokuhlangula saseMerika, kunye noMthetho woLawulo oluzalisayo wama-2022. Inkqubo yoxolelwaniso iye yabaluleka ngakumbi njengoko ukuququzelela imimandla engaphandle engaphandle kwe-60 yemibutho eqokelelwayo ukwenzela umthetho omkhulu.

Iimfuno zoMgaqo-siseko oPhakamileyo

UmGaqo-siseko uyalela ukuba kubekho imivoti emikhulu yezenzo ezithile. Ivoti ezimbini-ntathu zoninzi .167 xa bonke abaququzeleli bekho, (i-"i-"i-ravizen"imfuneko yokuvumelana, ukukhupha ilungu, kwaye ukucebisa ukupheliswa komgaqo-siseko. Ezi zithintela ukubonakaliswa komgwebo wabalawuli ukuba izenzo ezithile zibaluleke kakhulu ngoko kufuneka zifune uvumelwano olubanzi kunokuba zifune inkxaso elula yoninzi.

Ukwenziwa kwesivumelwano kungqineke kulucelomngeni ngokukodwa phantsi kwemfuno ezimbini-ntathu. Izivumelwano ezininzi ziye zasilela ukufumana ulwandiso phezu kwayo nje inkxaso eninzi, kwaye oomongameli baye bathembela ngokungakumbi kwizivumelwano zegunya ezingafuni imvume yeBhunga elilawulayo. I-veto ukuyekelela okuthetha ukuba oomongameli bangavala umthetho naxa bechaswa zizinto ezinkulu, nangona ukuthotywa kwemithetho ephumelelayo kwenzeka xa imo ye-bipartis engqinelwanisayo.

Uhambo Lomthetho: Ukusuka Kwisiqalo Ukuya Kwindawo Yokugcina

Ukuqonda indlela amatyala ahambela phambili ngayo ngeNdlu yeeNdlu yeeNtlanganiso kukhanyisa amathuba amaninzi okuvota ngaphambi kokuba kudlule inyathelo lokugqibela.

Ukuqwalaselwa nokukhutshwa kwemibutho

Umthetho omninzi uqalisa uhambo lwawo lweNdlu yeeNdlu yeeNtlanganiso kwikomiti. Indlu yeNdlu yeekomiti ezili-16 ezimileyo, nganye inegunya kwimimandla ethile. IiKomiti zibamba ukuchonga, ziqhuba uphando, zivote nokuba zinikele ingxelo yetyala kwiNdlu yeQela epheleleyo. Iivoti zekomiti zisebenza phantsi kwemithetho eyahlukeneyo kunaleyo ivotelwa phantsi komhlaba, nekomiti nganye imisela iinkqubo zayo kwimigaqo yeBhunga elikhulu.

Ikomiti evotayo ukunikela ingxelo yetyala elithunyelwa kakuhle kwimigangatho yeNdlu yeeNtlanganiso ukuze iqwalaselwe. Noko ke, iikomiti zingavota ziphinde zichaze amatyala ngokungafanelekanga okanye ngaphandle kokuncomela, kwaye amatyala amaninzi awaze afumane iivoti zekomiti konke konke. Izihlalo zekomiti zinamandla abalulekileyo ekugqibeni ukuba ziziphi iindleko ezifumana ingqalelo, nangona izibongozo ezikhutshwayo zinokunyanzela ukuba intengiselwano iphumele kwikomiti ukuba uninzi lwabaququzeleli baxhasa loo mgudu.

Iivoti zekomiti zinika abaququzeleli bokuqala ithuba lokubumba umthetho ngokulungisa. Inkqubo yokunyusa ikomiti ivumela amalungu ukuba acinge, aphikisane, avote ekulungisweni kwetyala ngaphambi kokuba imali ifike phantsi. Ukupheliswa okuphumelelayo kwisigaba sekomiti kuba yinxalenye yemali eqwalaselwe yiNdlu yeNtlanga epheleleyo, enokuthi iphephe imfazwe yomgangatho ophantsi othanda ingxabano.

Ulwandiso lomgangatho noMgaqo-nkqubo woLawulo

Xa ityala lifikelela kumgangatho weCathenal, abaququzeleli bangacebisa ulungiso ukuze kulungiswe amalungiselelo ayo. Inkqubo yokulungisa yenza amavoti amaninzi njengoko abachongi beqwalasela utshintsho olusuka kulungiso lobugcisa olusuka kutshintsho lobuchule olungundoqo lwenjongo yetyala. Ezinye izilungisi zifumana iivoti zamazwi, lo gama impikiswano ilungisa ngokusesikweni ukuvota ubuso obusongwa.

Inkqubo yokulungisa yeBhunga ivulekile ngokuphawulekayo xa ithelekiswa neNdlu yabameli. Abaququzeleli banganika nayiphina intengiso kulo naliphi na icala, nokuba ukubuyiselwa kwedilesi yento eyahlukileyo ngokupheleleyo, kwaye ezi zibizwa ngokuba "zingalungisi-ziphene" okanye "abatshayeli" oku kunika intembeko kumandla abalulekileyo okunyanzela ukuvota kwindawo eziphambili, nangona izivumelwano ezivumelanayo zisoloko zinikwa umlinganiselo wokulungisa okungaphindiwe.

Izicwangciso ezicwangcisiweyo eziphembelela kakhulu ukuphembelela ukuvota. Ngokuchasene noko, abaququzeleli bangazi ukuba baza kusilela ukunyanzela abo basebenza nabo ukuba bathathe izikhundla kwimibandela ephikisanayo. Ezi "zindululo" zisebenza ngokwezobupolitika kunokuba zisebenze iinjongo zowiso-mthetho, zidala iingxelo zokuvota ezinokusetyenziswa kumaphulo. Ngokuchasene noko, ezinye iziphene zenziwe ukwenza amatyala angamkelekiyo kubaxhasi babo, iqhinga elibizwa ngokuba kukunikezelwa kwe-"poison pill encinc.

Izixhobo Zokuguqula Izinto

Ngaphandle kwamavoti angomthetho, iNdlu yeeNtsimbi yenza amavoti amaninzi amisela indlela eshishini eliqhutywa ngayo. Ezi ziquka ukuvota kwintshukumo yokuhamba ukuqhuba (okuzisa amatyala kumgangatho ukuze kuqwalaselwe), ukuthatha iintambo (okuthi kuphele ingxoxo), iingongoma zomyalelo (ukuthi kucelw ’ umngeni ukuba iinkqubo ziyavisisana na nemithetho yeBhunga), kunye nokubhenela ulawulo lwegosa eliphetheyo.

Iivoti zengcaciso zinokubaluleka njengevoti encinci ekufumaneni iziphumo zomthetho. Ukuhamba okungaphumelelanga ukukhusela iNdlu yeQela ukuba icinge nangetyala, ngeli xesha ukuvota okungaphumelelanga kunokuthi kulibazise ngokungenasiphelo isenzo. Abaphathi maxa wambi bavote ngokwahlukileyo kwimicimbi encinci nephantsi, umzekelo, ukuvota ukuvumela ingxoxo kwisivumelwano ngexa beceba ukuvotela ngokuchasene nenyathelo layo lokugqibela.

Izixhobo Zokudlala Zokugqibela

Emva kokugqiba uhlolo lokulungisa nokuphumelela nayiphi na imiqobo yendlela yokusebenza, iNdlu yeQela ivotela kwinyathelo lokugqibela. Le nvwooti igqiba ukuba ngaba ityala liphunyezwe kwinqanaba elilandelayo lenkqubo yowiso-mthetho. Ukuba iNdlu sele idlulise uhlobo olufanayo, ityala lisiya kumongameli ukuze atyikitye okanye aveto. Ukuba iNdlu idlulise uhlobo olwahlukileyo, ityala lisiya kwikomiti yengqungquthela apho iNdlu neCandelo lilungisa iNdlulo kunye nabaqumrhu balungisa i-egotiator balungisa khona ukungqubana.

Iivoti zokugqibela zifumana eyona ngqwalasela kawonke-wonke kunye nengxelo yamajelo eendaba, kodwa zisoloko zimela incopho yeeveki okanye iinyanga zokuxoxisana, ukuvota, kunye nokusetyenziswa kwendlela yokulawula. Uvavanyo lokugqibela alunakubonakalisa ngokupheleleyo ukuntsonkotha kwenkqubo yowiso-mthetho eyandulelayo.

Indlela Abemi Abaphembelela Ngayo Iinkomfa

Ngelixesha abemi bengaphosi ivoti ngqo kumgangatho weNdlu yeeNtlanganiso, banempembelelo enkulu kwizigqibo zokuvota zabachongi ngemijelo emininzi. Ukuqonda ezi nkqubo kukunika amandla okubandakanyeka ngokunempumelelo ngakumbi kwinkqubo yowiso-mthetho kwaye wenze ilizwi lakho livelwe kwimibandela engombandela kuwe.

Ukuphendula

Eyona ndlela isisiseko abemi abaphembelela ngayo ukuvota ngonyulo. Abaququzeleli abafuna ukuphumelela unyulo kufuneka bahlale besabela kwizinto abazithandayo nabaza kuqala kuzo. Ukunika iingxelo kuba yimiba yephulo, kunye nabacebisi abaphakamisa iivoti ezisuka kwimvakalelo yesithili. Olu nxibelelwano lokhetho lubangela uxinzelelo oluqhubekayo kubachongi ukuqwalasela indlela abaza kujongwa ngayo ekhaya.

Eli gama leNdlu yeeNdlu zeeNtsimla ezineminyaka emithandathu linika abaququzeleli abafumana ukhuthazo oluninzi olusuka kwiingcinezelo zezobupolitika ezikhawulezileyo kunamalungu endlu ajongene neemeko zawo ezineminyaka emibini. Le mithetho mininzi yexesha ivumela abaququzeleli ukuba bathathe iindawo ezisenokungathandwa okwethutyana kodwa bakholelwe ukuba bakhonze umdla kawonke-wonke wexesha elide. Noko ke, njengoko besenza unyulo, abanyuli badla ngokuqwalasela ngakumbi uluvo lwe-qumrhu kunye nokulumka ngakumbi ngevo ephikisanayo.

Uthungelwano oluthe ngqo nabacuphi

Ukuqhagamshelana nabaququzeleli bakho kumela enye yezona ndlela zisebenzayo ukuphembelela izigqibo zabo zokuvota. Ii-ofisi zeNdlu yeeNdlu yeencwadi zilandelela ngocoselelo, ziphawula ubukhulu boluvo kwimibandela eyahlukeneyo. Xa abaququzeleli befumana uqhagamshelwano oluninzi kwityala elithile, lubonisa ukuba imicimbi ekuvoti kwaye lungachaphazela iziphumo zokhetho.

Iindlela zonxibelelwano ezahlukeneyo ziyahluka kwimpumelelo. Iminxeba yocingo kwi-ofisi yesithili ifumana ingqalelo eninzi kunee-imeyili, njengoko zifuna abasebenzi abaphendula ngokukhawuleza kwaye zibonisa ukudityaniswa kwentsebenziswano ephezulu.
