Ukuqonda indlela i-United States Congress esebenza ngayo kubalulekile ekuqondeni inqubo yomthetho waseMelika nendlela esungulwa ngayo, impikiswano, futhi ibekwa ngayo. Kungakhathaliseki ukuthi ungumfundi wesayensi yezombangazwe, isakhamuzi esithembisene, intatheli emboze i-Capitol Hill, noma umuntu omane nje onesithakazelo endleleni esebenza ngayo uhulumeni, ukuba nokuqonda okuqinile kwezinhlelo zobukhokha kanye nezinqubo zokuvota. Lesiqondiso esibanzi sizokuhamba ngemininingwane eyinkimbinkimbi yendlela i-Congress akha izinkathi zayo, iqhuba ibhizinisi layo, futhi yenza izinqumo ezigxekayo ezibumba umthetho nesimiso saseMelika.
Yini Ebalulekile Ngezishaya - mthetho Futhi Kungani Isisekelo Sazo?
I-United States Congress iyigatsha lomthetho kahulumeni wombuso, elimiswe yiSiphakamiso I soMthetho-sisekelo. Sinamakamelo amabili: Indlu yabameleli neSigele. Lesi sakhiwo se-bidamaral saklanywa yi-Bitadral yokulinganisela izimpawu phakathi kwamazwe ahlukene alinganayo nokunikeza isimiso sokuhlola nezilinganiso phakathi kwenqubo yomthetho ngokwayo. Indlu imelela umphakathi ngokuqondile, ngokumelela i-omkhandlu esekelwe emphakathini wezwe, kuyilapho inikeza i-testate emelela isifundazwe ngasinye ngama-tenator amabili alinganayo.
Ukuqonda inqubo nezimiso zombuso weSishaya-Mkhandlu kungenxa yokuthi wonke umthetho kahulumeni, yonke imvume yokukhokha imali yentela, futhi ukumiswa okuningi okubalulekile kumelwe kudlule kulendikimba. Indlela i-Congress ehlela ngayo isikhathi sayo futhi iqhube amavoti ayo ngokuqondile athinta lokho umthetho okucatshangelwayo, ukuthi yiziphi izinto eziza kuqala ezinakwa, futhi ekugcineni yini ewumthetho. Kubantu abafuna ukuthonya isimiso noma baqonde ukuthi kungani imiphumela ethile yemithetho iyenzeka, ulwazi lwezimiso zokuhlela nokuvota lubalulekile.
Izakhiwo Zemithetho Nezinkathi Zobumbano
Ukuqonda Amazwi Asetshenziswa Izinhlangano
IKhongolo ngalinye libalwa ngokwenani eliyi-equalial nehlala njalo ngeminyaka emibili. Isimiso samanje sokubala siqala nge-First Congress, eyahlangana kusukela ngo-1789 kuya ku-1791. Igama leminyaka emibili lihambelana nomjikelezo wokhetho lweNdlu yabameleli, lapho zonke izihlalo ezingu-35 ziphezulu khona ngokomthetho wokhetho njalo ngemva kweminyaka emibili. Ama-Senator akhonza izinombolo zeminyaka eyisithupha, cishe ingxenye eyodwa kwezintathu zeSigele sikhuphulwa njalo eminyakeni emibili, zinikeza ukuqhubekela egumbini eliphezulu lapho kuqhubeka ukuphatha kwentando yentando yeningi.
ISivumelwano esisha siqala emini ngoJanuary 3 weminyaka engavamile, ngemva kokhetho lukaNovember, ngaphandle kokuba uMkhandlu ukhomba ukhomba usuku oluhlukile ngokomthetho. Lolu suku lwamiswa ngeSichibiyelo sama-20 kuMthetho-sisekelo, sagunyazwa ngo-1933, esasusa usuku lokuqala kusukela ngoMatshila kuya ku-January ukuze kuncishiswe inkathi "yedada" phakathi kokhetho nendawo yokuhlala kwamalungu amasha. Uma iKhomisha imisa, wonke umthetho ogciniwe ovela eMkhandlwini engaphambili uyafa futhi kumelwe uphinde ubekwe uma amalungu efisa ukuqhubeka nokuwulandela.
Ukuchazwa Kwezigaba Zokuqala Nezibili
Ingqungquthela yeminyaka emibili ihlukaniswa yaba yiziqephu ezimbili zaminyaka yonke. Isimiso sokuqala siqala ngo-January wonyaka ongavamile ngokushesha ngemva kokhetho lwe-communion. Ngokwesibonelo, isimiso sokuqala sohlelo lwe-19th Congress saqala ngoJanuary 2025. Isimiso sesibili siqala ngonyaka olandelayo owenziwe ngisho namanani, kulokhu uJanuary 2026, futhi siphetha kuqala ngaphambi kokhetho lukaNovember, nakuba singanweba ngalé kwalolosuku uma kudingeka.
Ukwahlulwa kwezingxenye ezimbili ikakhulu kungokwenhlangano nangokwesiko kunokuba kugunyazwe ngokomthetho-mthetho. Umthetho-sisekelo udinga ukuba uMkhandlu uhlangane okungenani kanye ngonyaka kodwa awudingi izinhlelo ezimbili. Nokho, loluhlelo luye lwaba umkhuba ovamile futhi lusiza uKhongolo ukuba luhlele ikhalenda lalo lezimiso, imijikelezo yokuhlela, nezinkathi zomsebenzi. Isimiso sokuqala sigxile ekumiseni izabelo zamakomiti, ukumisa izinto eziza kuqala zemithetho, nokuqala umsebenzi ezinyathelweni ezinkulu. Isimiso sesibili sihilela ukuqeda umsebenzi ezikwehliseni izikweleti zemithetho eshaya ngokushesha, ukuqondisa imithetho ethatha isikhathi, nokuqeda ibhizinisi ngaphambi kokuba i-Congressmers.
Izinsuku Zomthetho Ziqhathaniswa Nezinsuku Zekhalenda
Umehluko obalulekile ezinhlanganweni eziqondayo umehluko phakathi kwezinsuku zomthetho nezinsuku zekhalenda. Usuku lwemithetho luqala lapho igumbi liqala futhi liphela. Nokho, iSishaya-mthetho sivame ukumisa imingcele ekupheleni komhlangano wansuku zonke. Lapho kumiswa i-Congress, usuku lwemithetho luyaqhubeka ngisho noma izinsuku zekhalenda zidlula. Lomehluko ungaba lukhulu ngoba imithetho nezimiso ezithile ziboshelwe ezinsukwini zomthetho kunokuba zihlanganiswe nezinsuku zekhalenda.
Ngokwesibonelo, iSigeqe singahlala ngosuku olufanayo lwemithetho amasonto noma ngisho izinyanga zekhalenda ngokuhlehlisa isikhashana kunokuba sithathe isikhathi. Lomkhuba ungathinta uma kungenziwa imisebenzi ethile, indlela yokulungisa okunganikezwa ngayo, nokuthi yiziphi izinqubo ezikhona kumalungu. Indlu yabameleli isebenza ngokuqonde ngokwengeziwe lapho izinsuku zomthetho nezinsuku zekhalenda zisondela kakhulu, nakuba nayo ingasebenzisa inqubo yokuhlela izinjongo zokuhlelwa kwemithetho.
Ikhalenda Lobumbano Nezikhathi Zomsebenzi
Izikhathi Zomsebenzi Wesigodi Nezikhathi Zokubuya
ISishaya-mthetho asihlangani njalo phakathi nonyaka. Kunalokho, ikhalenda lomthetho lihlanganisa izikhawu ezihleliwe, ezivame ukubizwa "izikhathi zokusebenza zesigaba somsebenzi" noma "izikhathi zokusebenza kwezwe," lapho amalungu ebuyela ezifundeni zasekhaya nasezifundazweni. Lezi zikhawulo zifeza imisebenzi eminingi ebalulekile enqubweni yomthetho. Zivumela amalungu ukuba ahlangane nezindawo ezihlangene, abambe amahholo edolobha, avakashele amabhizinisi nezinhlangano zendawo, futhi ahlale exhunyiwe emiphakathini ayingxenye ebalulekile yentando yentando yeningi yeningi yentando yeningi futhi asiza ukuba amalungu ahlale enesibopho sokuvota.
Ikhalenda lengqungquthela lihlanganisa izikhathi eziningana eziyinhloko zokuhlalisa unyaka wonke. Lezi zivame ukuhlanganisa ikhefu ngoFebruary noma ngoMarch, ikhefu lasentwasahlobo ezungeze i-Ista, ikhefu lesonto lonke kuSuku Lwenkululeko, ikhefu likaAugust elithatha amasonto ambalwa, nezindawo zokuqapha i-Sivumelo kanye namaholide kaDecember. Isikhathi esiqondile nobude balezi ziteshi zingahluka unyaka ngamunye ngokusekelwe eziza kuqala zemithetho, ibhizinisi elihleli, kanye nezingxoxo phakathi kobuholi beqembu.
Phakathi neminyaka yokhetho, ikakhulukazi esiqenjini sesibili seSishaya-mthetho, ikhalenda lomthetho livame ukucindezelwa ukuba livumele amalungu ukuba athole isikhathi esengeziwe somkhankaso. Indlu neSigele kungasebenza izinsuku ezimbalwa eWashington phakathi neminyaka yokukhetha, nakuba lokhu kungaba yimpikiswano uma ibhizinisi lemithetho ebalulekile lilokhu lingapheli. Ukungezwani phakathi kwemithwalo yemithetho nezombangazwe ezivunayo kuyisici esiqhubekayo semisebenzi yenhlangano.
Izikhathi Ze - “profoma ”
I-proftware ye-Forma iyimihlangano emifushane yeSigele noma indlu, ngezinye izikhathi ethatha imizuzu embalwa, eqhutshwa ngokuyinhloko ukuze kugcwaliseke imfuneko yomthetho-sisekelo yokuthi kungabikho kufakwa igumbi izinsuku ezingaphezu kwezintathu ngaphandle kwemvume yenye. Le mihlangano futhi ivimbela uMongameli ukuba enze izinqumo zesikhashana, ezivunyelwa uMthetho-sisekelo lapho iSigele sisekhexeni. Phakathi nezikhathi zesimiso, akukho bhizinisi lemithetho eliqhutshwayo, nakuba kungenzeka ukuthi amalungu abekhona futhi avume ukwenza kanjalo.
Ukusetshenziswa kwe-profom comma sekuvame kakhulu emashumini eminyaka amuva njengethuluzi lokuvimbela ukumiswa kwekhefu. Bobabili abantu baye basebenzisa leli cebo lapho belawula igumbi elilodwa noma zombili futhi befisa ukuvimbela uMongameli ukuba amise ngaphandle kokuqinisekiswa kweSishaya-mthetho. INkantolo Ephakeme yakhuluma ngokufaneleka kwalo mkhuba enkantolo ka-2014 NLB v. Noelning, ibusa ukuthi iSigele sinegunya elikhulu lokunquma ukuthi sikhona nini futhi izikhawu ezingxenyeni zesimiso zibala ngokuthi iSishayamthetho siseqenjini seReces Svices Clausss.
Izikhathi Ezikhethekile Neziphuthumayo
Nakuba uMkhandlu ulandela ikhalenda elivamile, izimo ezikhethekile zingadinga ukuhlanganiswa ngaphandle kwesimiso esivamile. ISiphakamiso II, iSiqeshana sesi-3 soMthetho-sisekelo sinika uMongameli amandla okumisa indlu eyodwa noma zombili izindlu zeSishaya-Mkhandlu "ngezikhathi ezingavamile". Lombuso uye wasetshenziswa ngokuncipha kuwo wonke umlando waseMelika, ikakhulukazi phakathi nezimo eziphuthumayo zesizwe, izimpi, noma ezinye izinkinga ezidinga ukuthatha isinyathelo esisheshayo sokushaya umthetho.
Izikhathi ezikhethekile zazivame kakhulu ekhulwini le-19 nasekuqaleni kwelama-20 lapho uMkhandlu uhlangana ezinhlamini ezimfutshane ezivamile. Njengoba uMkhandlu waqala ukuhlangana cishe phakathi nonyaka phakathi nekhulu lama-20, isidingo sezinqumo ezikhethekile sinciphile kakhulu. Nokho, lenqubo iyaqhubeka ikhona uma izimo zivuma. UKhongolo-mfutho ungazikhumbula futhi uma zombili izingxenye zivumelana, ngaphandle kokufuna isenzo sobumongameli. Lo mbuso ozihlanganisayo uqinisekisa ukuthi igatsha le-wistogist lilondoloza ukuzibusa kwalo futhi lingasabela ngisho nasezintweni eziphuthumayo ngaphandle kokuthatha isinyathelo sesikhulu.
Indlela Ukukhangisa Ngemikhankaso Yomphakathi Okusebenza Ngayo
Injongo Nokubaluleka Kwemikhankaso Yombuso
Ukuqamba kuyinqubo eyisisekelo lapho uMkhandlu wenza izinqumo futhi usebenzisa amandla awo okumisa. Zonke iziphakamiso, isinqumo, ukulungisa, nokuthatha isinyathelo okuza phambi kwendlu noma iSigele kumelwe kunqunywe ngevoti yamalungu. La mavoti anquma ukuthi iziphi iziphakamiso eziwumthetho, ukuthi imali ekhokhwayo isetshenziswa kanjani, ukuthi abameleli baqiniseki kwizikhundla zikahulumeni, nezinye izindaba ezingenakubalwa ezibaluleke kakhulu. Umlando wokuvota welungu ngalinye futhi usebenza njengesilinganiso esiyinhloko sokulandisa, ukuvumela abameleli babo ukuba bahlole ukuthi bavota yini ngokwezindinganiso zabo nezithakazelo zabo.
Amavoti e-Congregation ayenzeka ezingeni ezihlukahlukene zenqubo yokushaya umthetho. AmaKomiti avota ukuthi iziphetho ziyathathwa yini noma zizobikelwa egumbini eligcwele. Indlu egcwele noma iSigebe se-Gazene ivotela ezindabeni ezingokwesiko njengokuthi ingabe izocabangela isikhwama, ukuthi izovumela yini ukubuyiselwa, nokuthi izophela yini impikiswano. Amavoti anquma ukuthi izinguquko ziyamukelwa yini nokuthi izindleko ziyadlula yini. Kwezinye izimo, womabili amagumbi kumelwe avote ezintshweni zemithetho ezifanayo ngaphambi kokuba ithunyelwe kuMongameli. Ukuqonda ukuthi inqubo yokuvota ibalulekile nini futhi kanjani.
Izimfuneko Ze - quorum
Ngaphambi kokuhlola izindlela zokuvota eziqondile, kubalulekile ukuqonda izimfuneko ze-quormm. I-Agate I, Ingxenye 5 yoMthetho-sisekelo isho ukuthi "iQuorum yenye [Indlu] iyokwakha iQuarum ukuze yenze ibhizinisi" ngoba i House of Declarations, lokhu kusho ukuthi okungenani 218 kumalungu angu-435. Ku-Sigeqe, okungenani 51 kwa-100 abaphathi-gazi kumelwe babe khona. Ngaphandle kwe-Quarrum, ikamelo alikwazi ukuqhuba ibhizinisi lezikhulu noma ukuthatha amavoti asemthethweni.
Uma kuqalwa, i-coram isebenza ngokucabanga ukuthi i-traquum ikhona ngaphandle kokuba ilungu lisikisela ngenye indlela ngokuphakamisa iphuzu lokuhleleka mayelana nokungabikho kwe-traquolm. Uma i-quorrum iphenywa, igumbi kumelwe lifake isikhalo se-demoram ukuze kuqinisekiswe ukuthi amalungu anele akhona. Uma i-quoquumm ingekho, igumbi kumelwe libe khona, ikhefu, noma lithathe izinyathelo zokuphoqelela ukuba amalungu angekho. Lesimiso sivumela ingqungquthela ukuba isebenze ngokusheka phambili kuyilapho igcina imfuneko yemithetho yenani elincane lamalungu ukuba abe khona ngezenzo ezingokomthetho.
Izinhlobo Zomculo Ezingqungqutheleni
Imisindo Yezwi
Ivoti yezwi iyindlela elula kakhulu neshesha kakhulu yokuvota eKhongolo. Uma iphethe ivoti yezwi, isikhulu esiphetheyo sicela labo abavuma ukunyakaza ukuthi "aye" kanye nalabo abamelene nokuthi "hayi"" isikhulu esiphethe khona sinquma ukuthi yiluphi uhlangothi olukhona ngokusekelwe emdlalweni nasemandleni okusabela. Amavoti ezwi avame ukusetshenziswa ezindabeni ezingagunyazi, ukuthatha imingcele, noma ukusekela okukhulu lapho umphumela ungangangangangatshazwa futhi amalungu angafuni ukuba kubhalwe phansi.
Inzuzo yamavoti ezwi ijubane nokusebenza kahle. Bavumela uMkhandlu ukuba uhambe ngokushesha ngenqubo evamile ngaphandle kwenqubo yokubhala ivoti yelungu ngalinye. Nokho, amavoti ezwi anemingcele ephawulekayo. Abakhi umbhalo wendlela amalungu ngamanye avota ngayo, okwenza kube nzima ukuba abameleli bawo baphendule ezindabeni ezithile. Ngaphezu kwalokho, ukunquma kwesikhulu esiphethe ukuthi umphumela ungabekwa phansi, ikakhulukazi uma iphimbo lisondele.
Noma iliphi ilungu lingabekela inselele umphumela wezwi elivotiwe ngokucela ivoti yeqembu noma, eNdlu, ngokucela ivoti erekhodiwe. Leli lungelo liqinisekisa ukuthi amavoti ezwi asetshenziswa kuphela lapho kuvunyelwana noma lapho amalungu ezimisele ukwamukela isahlulelo sesikhulu esiphethe ngaphandle kokulandisa komuntu. Ezindabeni eziphikisanayo noma lapho amalungu efuna ukuba kubhalwe izikhundla zawo, ezinye izindlela zokuvota ziyasetshenziswa.
Izigaba Ezihlukene (Ema Amagebe)
Iqembu elivotayo, elibizwa nangokuthi ivoti emile, lisetshenziswa lapho umphumela wevoti yezwi ungacaci noma lapho ilungu licela ukuqinisekiswa ngomphumela. Engxenyeni yokuvota, isikhulu esiphethe sicela labo abasekela ukunyakaza ukuba bame futhi babalwe, bese sicela labo abamelene nokubalwa. Isikhulu esiphethe noma omabhalane sibala amalungu amile eqenjini ngalinye futhi simemezele umphumela.
Amavoti amavoti ahlukene anikeza ukunemba okukhulu kunamazwi ngoba amalungu abalwa ngokoqobo kunokuba ahlulelwe ngenani lamazwi awo. Nokho, njengabo abavoti bezwi, amavoti ahlukanisayo awakhi umbhalo ogciniwe wendlela amalungu ngamanye avota ngayo. Umphumela ubonisa ingqikithi yokuvota ohlangothini ngalunye, hhayi ukuthi yimaphi amalungu athile avota. Lokhu kwenza isigaba sivote ngokusiza ekuqinisekiseni imiphumela kuyilapho silondoloza izinga elithile lokuphumelela kahle namathuba eyimfihlo.
Amavoti amancane eSigeqe asetshenziswa kaningi kakhulu kunezigebengu kunaseNdlu. Endlini, amalungu avame ukusuka ngokuqondile ezwini ukuvotela ukuya kuvoti erekhodiwe uma umphumela uphikiswa, adlula isigaba sokuvota seqembu. Ubukhulu obuncane beSigele benza amavoti amavoti awusizo kakhulu, njengoba ukubala izinyunyana eziyikhulu kulula kakhulu kunokubala abameleli 435. Nokho, ngisho nakuleyo-Sigele, amavoti ahlukene angavamile uma kuqhathaniswa namavoti ezwi namavoti aqoshiwe.
Izinti Eziqoshiwe
Amavoti aqoshiwe akha umlando ongokomthetho wendlela ilungu ngalinye elivota ngayo embuzweni othile. La mavoti ayindlela yokuvota esobala nenecala kakhulu ngoba avumela abahlanganisi, izintatheli, amaqembu enzalo, nezinye izingqapheli ukubona ukuthi abameleli bawo bavote kanjani ngezindaba ezithile. Amavoti abhaliwe adingeka ngezenzo ezithile, njengokumisa umongameli iveto, futhi angacelwa amalungu kwezinye izindaba ngokwemithetho yegumbi ngalinye.
Endluni yabameleli, uvoti oqoshiwe ungacelwa okungenani isigamu esisodwa se-traography (44 amalungu uma zonke izihlalo ezingu-45 zigcwalisiwe). Ukuziphatha kwendlu okubhaliwe kusetshenziswa isimiso sokuvota sogesi esifakwe ngo- 1973. Amalungu afaka ikhadi lokuvota komuntu siqu kwelinye leziteshi eziningi zokuvota ezisendaweni ebanzi egumbini lendlu futhi acindezela inkinobho yokuvota "yea" (eyamukelekile), "yy" (waphikiswa), noma "wamukela"ukubonisa ukuba khona kodwa ukwenqaba ukuvota noma ukumelana). Amavoti aboniswa emabhodini emishini egumbini, futhi amalungu avame ukuba abe nemizuzu engu-15 yokuvota, nakuba lesi sikhathi singanweba.
ISigele siphethe amavoti aqoshiwe ngokwehlukile ngenxa yobuncane bawo namasiko ahlukene. Amavoti aqoshiwe abizwa ngokuthi "umqulu ucingo" ngoba umabhalane ubiza umqulu wamagama anezinombolo ngokwe-alfabeti ngokwezwe, futhi umninindlu ngamunye uphendula ngevoti yakhe lapho igama labo libizwa. Abavoti bangavota "yea," "nay," noma "monika""" ngemva kocingo lokuqala, abashicileli abangekho noma abafisa ukushintsha ukuvota kwabo bangase benze kanjalo kuze kube yilapho isikhulu esiphethe simemezela umphumela. Izingcingo zokuvota zingavota zithatha imizuzu engu-15 kodwa zingakhuliswa ngemvume eyodwa noma ezinye izindlela ezisetshenziswayo.
Ukuvuma Ngokubambisana
Nakuba kungezona indlela yokuvota yobuchwepheshe, ukuvuma okuvumelanayo kuyinqubo ebaluleke kakhulu yokuqhuba ibhizinisi eKhongolo. Ngaphansi kwemvume evumelanayo, isikhulu esiphetheyo sibuza ukuthi kukhona yini ukwenqaba isenzo esithile, futhi uma kungekho zitho zomthetho ezingamalungu, lesi senzo siyavunywa ngaphandle kokuvota okungokomthetho. Imvume yesivumelwano isetshenziswa kakhulu ezindabeni ezivamile, izinqumo zokuhlela, kanye nomthetho wezesivumelwano. Ivumela uMkhandlu ukuba usebenze kahle ngokuvimbela amavoti esikhathi esithile ezindabeni lapho kuvumelana khona.
Amandla emvume efanayo asekelwe ekusebenzeni kwayo, kodwa futhi anikeza amalungu ngalinye amandla abalulekile. Ngenxa yokuthi noma yiliphi ilungu elilodwa lingase limelane nesicelo semvume efanayo, amalungu angasebenzisa lamandla ukudonsela ukunakekela ezindabeni, axoxe ngezindaba zawo eziza kuqala, noma anciphise izenzakalo. Lokhu kuyiqiniso ikakhulukazi eSigeqeni, lapho izivumelwano zenkulumo ebanzi nezikhulu zomcimbiswano zivumelana khona ngokuvumelanayo ukuze kuqondwe ibhizinisi ngendlela efanelekile.
Izikweleti eziningi ezibalulekile zidlula ngemvume ehlanganyelwayo, ikakhulukazi eNdlwini, kodwa lokhu kwenzeka kuphela ngemva kokuxoxisana okukhulu nokuvumelana phakathi kwabo bonke abantu abathakazelayo. Usongo lokwenqaba lukhuthaza ukuyekethisa futhi luqinisekisa ukuthi ngisho nemibono emincane iyacatshangelwa. Nokho, inqubo yokuvuma ngazwi linye ingasetshenziswa kabi, amalungu ngamanye ngezinye izikhathi avimbele izindaba zenqubo ngenxa yezizathu eziwubuwula noma ukuze athole amandla ezindabeni ezingaqondani.
Izikhala Nezimfuneko Zokukhuluma
Izibalo Ezilula
Amavoti amaningi eSishaya-mthetho adinga kuphela iningi lalabo abakhona nabavotayo. Endlini, lokhu kuvame ukusho amavoti angu-218 uma wonke amalungu ekhona futhi evota. ESigele, iningi lingu-51 uma bonke abasizi bekhona futhi bevota. Kubalulekile ukuqaphela ukuthi umnyango usekelwe emalungwini akhona nakuvota, hhayi elungu eliphelele legumbi. Amalungu avota "akhona" noma angekhoyo alinganiselwa ekunqumeni ukuthi iningi lawo afinyelele yini.
Amavoti amaningi asetshenziswa emithetho eminingi, ukulungisa, nokuthatha izintambo. Lokhu kuhlanganisa ukudlulisa izikweletu, ukulungisa, ukuvumelana nemibiko yemihlangano, kanye nezinye ibhizinisi lezimiso eziningi. Imfuneko elula yeningi ibonisa isimiso sentando yeningi sokuthi izinqumo kufanele zenziwe ngabenzi bezentando yeningi, kuyilapho kusavunyelwa ibhizinisi ukuba liqhubeke ngaphandle kokufuna ukuvumelana okukhulu.
Izimfuneko Zobungqabavu
Ezinye izenzo zidinga okungaphezu kweningi ukuba zidlule. Umthetho-sisekelo usho izimfuneko eziningana ezinkulu kakhulu zezenzo ezithile. Kudingeka amavoti amabili-mitha amabili azo zombili amagumbi ukuze kukhishwe i-veto, kuhlongozwe ukulungisa komthetho-sisekelo, kuxoshwe ilungu, futhi kususwe ukukhubazeka okuthile ngaphansi kweSichibiyelo se-14. Ukuvota kweSigele kuyadingeka ukuze kuvunyelwe izivumelwano neziboshwa ezisekwe ezimpikiswaneni. Le mifantu engaphezulu ibonisa ukwahlulelwa koMsunguli womthetho kangangokuba izenzo ezithile zibaluleke kangangokuba kufanele zidinge ukuvumelana okukhulu kunokusekela okukhulu.
Ngaphezu kwezimfuneko ezinkulu zomthetho-mthetho, uKhongolo-kahulumeni uye wasungula imithetho edinga ukugcinwa kwemithetho yezehlakalo ezinkulu kakhulu ngokuphumelelayo ngenxa yezenzo ezithile. Okubaluleke kakhulu kuzo yi-Reconfilbuster kanye nokubusa kwe-ambreure. Ngaphansi kwemithetho yamanje yeSigele, kuphele impikiswano ezindabeni eziningi kudinga amavoti angu-60 ngenqubo ebizwa ngokuthi i-actaturate. Lokhu kusho ukuthi idlanzana lama-arhente elingavimbela umthetho ngokwenqaba ukuvota okokugcina. Umthetho we-banbuster nowe-rable uye waba ngokubaluleka kakhulu emashumini eminyaka amuva, idinga ukuvota-tema shy engeziwe engu-60 ngenqubo ephikisana kakhulu yomthetho enkantolo.
Nokho, izindaba ezithile zikhululekile ku-patricbuster futhi zidinga kuphela iningi eliseSigele. Lezi zihlanganisa ukuhlelwa kwemali yokubuyisana, ukuhlelwa kwezindleko ezithile, nezinye izindaba ezingokwesiko. ISigele ingayishintsha futhi imithetho yayo ngevoti elivamile, nakuba le "khetho lenuzi" lisetshenziswe ngokuncipha ngenxa yokukhathalela imithetho ehleliwe nesibonelo esisibekayo. Indlu yabameli ayinayo i-finbuster, futhi iningi leqembu lisebenzisa amandla amakhulu okulawula izinhlelo ze-filbuster nezinhlelo zokuvota.
Indima Kamongameli Ongumongameli Wesigele
Umongameli oyisekela likaMongameli wase-United States ukhonza njengoMongameli weSigele ngaphansi kweSiphakamiso I, isiqephu 3 soMthetho-sisekelo. Kulendima, uMongameli ongumsekeli angavota kuphela uma kunesibopho. Lo voti ehlukanisayo ingaba nencazelo ezindabeni ezihlukene kakhulu, ngokuphumelelayo inikeze iqembu lomongameli weSigebengu inzuzo uma iSigebengu sihlukene ngokulinganayo. Nokho, uMongameli ongumsekeli akanakuvota ukuba akhe isibopho, kodwa aphule esekhona kakade.
Ubuninzi bamavoti aphula uthayela buhlukahluka kakhulu kuye ngohlobo lwe-create deciate committery. Uma iSigele sihlukene ngokulinganayo ngama-50-50, njengoba kwakuphakathi kwezingxenye ze- 107th Congress (2001-2003) ne-117th Congress (201-2023), ukuvota kukaMongameli okuhlukanisayo kuba okubaluleke kakhulu.

Umongameli we-scioser akaqondisi ezimisweni zesimiso sobukhosana (201-2023) kanye nalowo msebenzi ophathiswa uMongameli we-procondary noma i-sensiternate, kodwa angaphatha phakathi nevoti enkulu lapho i-ccond ikhona.
Izinhlelo Ezikhethekile Zokusakaza Nokucabangela
Ukusakaza komnikezeli
Ukuvota okulawulayo, lapho ilungu elilodwa livotela elinye ilungu elingekho, kuye kwenqatshelwe ngokomlando kuzo zombili izikhongozelo. UMthetho-sisekelo ufuna ukuba iningi legumbi ngalinye lakhiwe i-demon ukuze lenze ibhizinisi, futhi zombili izindlwana zichaze lokhu ngokuthi amalungu kumelwe abe khona ngokoqobo ukuze avote. Lokhu kuqinisekisa ukuthi amalungu amele aphendule futhi avimbele ukuba angayisebenzisi imisebenzi yawo ngokufuna ukuba avote abanye.
Nokho, umqedazwe we-COVID-19 wabangela ushintsho lwesikhashana emithethweni yezindlu. NgoMay 2020, iNdlu yamukela isinqumo esivumela ukuvota phakathi nesimo esiphuthumayo sempilo yomphakathi. Ngaphansi kwalemithetho, ilungu lingakhetha elinye ilungu ukuba livotele uma lingakwazi ukuya ngenxa yalesifo esiwumqedazwe. Lokhu kwaphawula okokuqala emlandweni womthetho wokuvota okuvunyelwayo eNdaweni. Umthetho wovota wawuphikisana, ngokusekela kwakuthi kuyadingeka ukuvikela impilo yamalungu lapho egcina imisebenzi yomthetho womthetho we-Rhovisi, futhi abagxeki bawuphikisayo bephula izimiso zomthetho futhi benciphisa icala.
Ukubusa kokuvota kwendlu kovota kwaphela lapho amaRepublica athatha indawo yokulawula igumbi ngo-January 2023 futhi enqaba ukulivuselela.

Inkulumo yokuvota kovota kwamaphepha evoti yaqokomisa ukungezwani phakathi kwezinqubo zamasiko zokubusa, ikakhulukazi phakathi nezinselele ezingokoqobo zokubusa kwanamuhla, ikakhulukazi phakathi nesikhathi esiphuthumayo.
Ukuxhumana
Ukuxhumana kuyilungiselelo elikhululekile lapho amalungu amabili avota ezinhlangothini ezihlukene zempikiswano evumelana khona ukuthi womabili angayivota. Lokhu kuvumela amalungu ukuba angabi khona ngaphandle kokuthinta umphumela wevoti. Ngokwesibonelo, uma ilungu elilodwa elisekela isikweleti kumelwe lingabikho uma kuphuthuma umkhaya, angase ahlele umbhangqwana nelungu elimelene nalendaba, futhi bobabili bavumelene ukuba bangavoti. Umbhangqwana umenyezelwa ngokwesiko kuyi-Corvanional Record, unikeza umbiko ocacile ngelungiselelo.
Ukuxhumana kusekelwe ekuthembaneni nasebuseni kunokubonisana imithetho engokomthetho. Akunasikhundla esingokomthetho futhi akusithonyeli isilinganiso sovoti noma umphumela. Lomkhuba uye wehla emashumini eminyaka amuva njengoba ukuhlanganisa izifundazwe kwamazwe kwanda futhi njengoba ukuhamba okuthuthukile kuye kwenza kwaba lula ngamalungu ukubuyela eWashington ukuze avote amavoti abalulekile. Nokho, ukuhlobana kuhlala kukhona njengendlela ehloniphekile, ikakhulukazi kumalungu abhekene nokugula okungathi sína, izimo eziphuthumayo, noma okunye ukunyamalala okungenakugwenywa.
Isipho Esifudumezayo
Amalungu e-Congress angakhetha ukuvota "kukhona" kunokuvotela noma ngokumelene nesilinganiso esithile. Ivoti yamanje ibonisa ukuthi ilungu lalikhona futhi lihlanganyela kodwa likhetha ukungathathi hlangothi kulo mbuzo othile. Amavoti amanje abalwa kuyi-équum kodwa hhayi ku-orm edingeka ukuze inqotshwe noma isilinganiso esithile. Lokhu kusho ukuthi ukuvota kunciphisa ngokuphumelelayo inani lamavoti adingekayo kumphakathi.
Amalungu akhona ngezizathu ezihlukahlukene. Abanye benza kanjalo ukuze bagweme ukuphikisana kwesithakazelo lapho bebhekene nengozi yomuntu siqu noma yemali emphumeleni. Abanye bavotela ukubhikisha inqubo noma imniningwane yalokho okucatshangelwayo ngaphandle kokuyiphikisa ngokuzikhandla. Kwezinye izimo, amalungu akhetha ukuba khona njengendawo yokuyekelela lapho enemizwa exubile ngesilinganiso esithile noma lapho ebhekene nezingcindezi eziphikisanayo ezivela eziminyangweni ezihlukahlukene. Nakuba ukuvota kuyisinqumo esingokomthetho, amalungu akusebenzisayo angase abhekane nokugxekwa njalo ngenxa yokuhluleka ukuthatha izikhundla ezicacile ezindabeni ezibalulekile.
Ukushintsha Imisindo
Kuwo womabili amagumbi, amalungu angashintsha amavoti awo ngaphambi kokuba kumenyezelwe umphumela wokugcina. EHouse, amalungu angashintsha ukuvota kwawo ngemishini noma nini phakathi nenkathi yokuvota ngokumisa kabusha ikhadi lawo lokuvota nangokukhetha okuhlukile. ESigqeni, abanikazi bangashintsha amavoti abo ngemva kokukhala ngokumemezela umabhalane ngaphambi kokuba isikhulu esiphethe simemezele umphumela wokugcina. Lokhu kuvumela amalungu ukuba alungise amaphutha noma aphendule ephuzwini elisha noma athathe izimpikiswano ezinikezwa phakathi nesikhathi sokuvota.
Nokho, kunezimo ezifanelekile ezihambisana nokuvota ezishintshayo. ESigeqeni, ilungu elivotelayo ohlangothini olukhona lwendaba lingathatha isinyathelo sokuhlola levoti, livumele iSigele ukuba liphinde liyihlole lendaba. Lokhu ngezinye izikhathi kuholela ekushicileleni okungokomthetho, lapho umsizi ophikisa isilinganiso esidlulileyo eyoshintsha khona ukuvota kwabo ekutholeni impumelelo ukuze agcine ilungelo lokuhamba ukuze aphinde aphinde acabange. Lemiklamo engokomthetho ingaba yinkimbinkimbi futhi ibe yingxenye yezibalo eziwusizo ezikhona lapho abaqondisi bevota.
Indlela Yokulandela Izinqubo Nezinqubo Zomkhandlu
Imithombo Yengcebo Engokomthetho
Umthombo onegunya kakhulu wokwaziswa ngemibuthano yama-cornional namavoti i-Congress.gov, ingosi esemthethweni ye-United States Congress egcinwe i- Library of Congress.

Abasebenzisi bangafuna umthetho othile, balandelele intuthuko yayo ngenqubo yomthetho, futhi babone indlela amalungu avota ngayo evoti.
Igumbi ngalinye ligcina futhi ingosi yalo enezinto ezengeziwe. Indlu Yezimemezelo e House.gov inikeza ukwaziswa okufanayo ngezinqubo zendlu, ikhalenda lomthetho, izimiso zekomiti, kanye namanyuzi ewebhusayithi angamalungu. Iwebhusayithi yeSigeqe e-'FLT'S] SATE. inikeza imithombo efanayo yegumbi eliphezulu. Zombili iziteshini zinikeza imifula yevidiyo ehleliwe lapho amagumbi ekhona, ivumela izakhamuzi ukuba zibuke izinkulumo zezingxoxo zenhlangano kanye namavoti ngesikhathi sangempela.
ICongressional Record iyirekhodi elingokomthetho lokuqulwa kwemikhankaso, elikhishwa nsuku zonke lapho kuseqenjini. Ihlanganisa ukubhalwa kwezingxoxo zaphansi, imibhalo yentela nokulungisa okucatshangelwayo, amarekhodi okuvota, nezinye izinto ezinikezwa amalungu. Nakuba iCongregational Record ihlelwa ngaphambi kokuba kunyatheliswe futhi amalungu ekwazi ukubukeza amazwi awo, ihlala iwumlando ophelele walokho okwenzekayo eMzini nasesiteleni. I-Congregational Record itholakala nge-Impress Congress.gov newebhthi ye-Government Publication Office.
Imithombo namathuluzi engxenyeni yesithathu
Izinhlangano eziningi ezingezona ezohulumeni namawebhusayithi anikeza amathuluzi okulandelela umsebenzi we-cornational kunye nokuhlola amarekhodi okuvota. I-GovTrack.us iyiwebhusayithi ethandwayo enikeza ukwaziswa okuhlangene ngamafomethi omsebenzisi, kuhlanganise nokulandelela, amarekhodi okuvota, nokuhlaziywa kwezibalo zomsebenzi wamalungu. Ingosi ivumela abasebenzisi ukubona ukuthi amalungu avota kangaki neqembu lawo, lawo amalungu axhasa umthetho omningi, kanye neminye imigomo enikeza ukuqonda ekuziphatheni komphakathi.
Izinhlangano eziqoqa amarekhodi okuvota kwezombangazwe amanani asekelwe kumavoti azo kulenhlangano ebalulekile. Lamakhadi angasiza ekuqondeni indlela amalungu avota ngayo ezindaweni ezithile, nakuba abasebenzisi kufanele baqaphele ukuthi inhlangano ngayinye ikhetha amavota asekelwe kumaza ayo abalulekile nakumasuntswana. Amaphephandaba amakhulu namawebhusayithi ezindaba zezombangazwe anikeza ukukhomba nokuvota, ngokuvamile ngemithombo ehlolwayo yamarekhodi ezindawo zokuvota.
Izokuxhumana nama-apps ahamba-hamba ezenhlalo kuye kwenza kwaba lula kakhulu ukulandela umsebenzi wobungqungquthela esikhathini sangempela. Amalungu amaningi e-Congress ahlala ekhona ezokuxhumana okusebenzayo lapho exoxa khona ngamavoti awo nezinto eziza kuqala ze-gional. Amaza anjenge-Congress Congress areap engokomthetho nezicelo zesithathu ezihlukene zivumela abasebenzisi ukuba bathole izaziso mayelana namavoti, izikweletu eziqondile, nokuthintana nabameleli babo ngokuqondile kumakhalekhukhwini abo. Lamathuluzi anciphisa ukufinyelela kokuvumelana kokwaziswa okuvumelana kwemithetho futhi akwenza kube lula kakhulu ukuba izakhamuzi ezithembiswe ukuhlala zinolwazi ngomsebenzi we-Greography.
Umphumela Womholi Weqembu Ezinqulwini Zokuhlola Nokuqasha
Indima Yomkhulumi Wendlu
UmSpeaker weNdlu yeNdlu yeNdlu yabameleli unamandla kakhulu futhi esinye sezikhundla ezinethonya kakhulu kuhulumeni waseMelika. Uma iqashelwa yiNdlu egcwele ekuqaleni kombuso ngamunye, iSpeaker ingumholi weqembu elikhulu. iSithethi sinethonya elikhulu ekhalendeni lemithetho, sinquma ukuthi iziphi izikweleti eziza phansi ukuze kuvotelwe futhi nini. Lo mbuso ohlelayo uvumela uSilimi ukuba abeke phambili imigomo yezenkolo yeqembu elikhulu kuyilapho isithiya imingcele ethandwa yidlanzana.
Umsakazi uthonya imiphumela yokuvota ngokulawula kwabo izabelo zamakomiti, indima yabo eKomitini yeMithetho (ebeka izinqumo zempikiswano nokulungisa izikweletu), nekhono labo lokuthonya amalungu ngezindlela ezihlukahlukene.

Ithonya loMkhulumeli lidlulela ngalé kwamandla angokomthetho ukuze lihlanganise indima yabo njengomholi weqembu, umxhasi wezimali, umgcini wezimali, nomkhulumeli womphakathi.
Ubuholi Besigele Nomholi Omkhulu
UMholi weSigele umholi onamandla kakhulu eSikhungweni, nakuba indima ingenamandla kakhulu kunesikhundla soMphathi uSikhulumi eNdlu. Umholi weMajority ukhethwa yiqembu labo i-caucus futhi usebenza njengomphathi omkhulu nongumkhulumeli weqembu elikhulu. UMholi weMajor unethonya elikhulu esimisweni seSigele nakwezinqumo, esebenza noMholi weZinsukwana wokunquma ukuthi iziphi izikweletu ezithola isikhathi esisesiteji nanini lapho amavoti ezakwenzeka.
Nokho, amasiko eSigele empikiswano enwetshiwe kanye negunya lomphathi ngamunye asho ukuthi uMholi weMajor kumelwe axoxe kaningi namalungu amaqembu omabili ukuze afeze izinhloso zomthetho. UMholi weMajority akanakumane aphoqelele intando yawo egumbini ngendlela uSpeaker angafaka ngayo eNdlwini. Kunalokho, uMholi weSigebengu kumelwe akhe ukuvumelana, avumelane, futhi alawule imithetho eyinkimbinkimbi elawula imisebenzi yeSigele. Lokhu kudinga ikhono lezombangazwe, ukubekezela, ikhono lokulinganisela izithakazelo eziphikisanayo nezinto eziza kuqala.
Izinhlangano Zokuphehla Isikhumba
Bobabili abameleli bazo zombili izindawo zomphakathi balondoloza izinhlangano eziboshelwe ukuvota kanye nokukhuthaza ubunye. Iziswebhu kanye nabasizi bazo abahlola amalungu ngokwethukela ukuze banqume indlela abahlela ukuvota ngayo ezinyathelweni ezizayo, ukuvumela ukuhola kweqembu ukuba kuhlolwe ukuthi banokusekelwa okwanele yini ukuze badlulise umthetho ovimbelayo. Uma amanani okuvota eseduze, iziswebhu zokunxenxa amalungu akhuza noma antengantenge ukusekela isikhundla seqembu.
Ukuhlinza kwesiswebhu kubalulekile ekuholeni kweqembu eliphumelelayo nasemandleni okulawula. Ngokwazi kusengaphambili indlela amalungu ahlela ngayo ukuvota, ukuhola kunganquma ukuthi aqhubekela kanjani ngevoti, aphuze ukuthatha isinyathelo sokwakha ukusekela okwengeziwe, noma alungise umthetho ukuze abhekane nokukhathazeka. Ama-hip asebenzisa amathuluzi ahlukahlukene ukukhuthaza ukwethembeka kweqembu, kuhlanganise nokunxusa ukuba kube nobunye, izithembiso zokusekela ukubekwa kwemithetho yamalungu awo siqu, ukusekela ngokuxhasa ukuvota nokufaka umkhankatho, futhi ngezikhathi ezithile ukusongela kwemiphumela yokuvukela ubuholi. Nokho, ukuphumelela kwezenzo zokushaya ishadi kuyahluka kuye ngokwezimo zeqembu, ukuqondisa kweqembu, nangezimo zezombangazwe ezibhekene nelungu ngalinye.
Ukuziphendukela Kwemvelo Okungokomlando Kwezigaba Zobumba Nokuhlaziya
Imikhuba Yokuqala Yezinhlangano

Amalungu ayevame ukugcina eminye imisebenzi futhi abuyele ekhaya inkathi ende. Izinqumo zaqala ngoDecember futhi zaqhubeka kwaze kwaba intwasahlobo, ngenkathi yonyaka esele.
Izinqubo zokuqamba zazilula futhi nakuMaKhongolo akuqala. Zonke izivoti zaqhutshwa ngezwi, ngokwehlukana, noma ngokubiza amagama, namavoti aqoshwa ngezandla phakathi nokubizwa kocingo olugoqolwayo. Lenqubo yayithatha isikhathi, ikakhulukazi eMzini njengoba amalungu ayekhula ngokuhlanganisa izifunda ezintsha. Ubukhulu obuncane bamaKhongolose akuqala kanye nohlobo oluyinkimbinkimbi kakhulu lomthetho kahulumeni kwakusho ukuthi amavoti ambalwa ayedingeka, futhi ijubane lebhizinisi lemithetho yemithetho lalihamba kancane kakhulu kunanamuhla.
Isiqephu se-Round se- Shift
Ikhulu lama-20 leminyaka laba noshintsho olukhulu emisebenzini yokuhlanganisa.

ISigele silondoloze inqubo yaso yokuvota engokwesiko yokubiza amagama, ibonisa ubukhulu obuncane begumbi nokugcizelela kwalo isiko nokucabanga. Nokho, iSigele siye samukela ezinye izinqubo zobuchwepheshe ukuze sithuthukise imisebenzi, kuhlanganise namabhodi okubonisa ngogesi abonisa indlela abasizi abaye bakhetha ngayo phakathi nezingcingo zocingo kanye nezimiso ze-vidiyo ezithuthukisiwe zokusakaza. Umqedazwe we-COVOVAD washukumisa izingxoxo ngokuvota nokuthatha isinyathelo, nakuba lezi ziphakamiso zibhekene nezinselele eziphawulekayo zomthetho-sisekelo nosizo.
Imibono Evamile Enganembile Ngezinqumo Zezingqungquthela Nokusakaza Izindaba
Umbono Oyiphutha: Ingqungquthela Ihlala Ikhona
Abantu abaningi bacabanga ukuthi uKhongolo-kanye uhlangana ngokuqhubekayo unyaka wonke, kodwa lokhu akunembile. Nakuba uMkhandlu uhlangana isikhathi esiningi sonyaka, kudinga inkathi evamile yomsebenzi wesigodi, amaholide nezinye izinjongo. Ikhalenda lengqungquthela ngokuvamile lihlanganisa amakhefu abalulekile, futhi inani langempela lezinsuku uKhongolo olukhona kulo luhlelayo liyahluka unyaka ngamunye. Eminyakeni yamuva, iSivumelwano besilokhu sikhona phakathi nezinsuku ezingu - 130 no - 170 ngonyaka, amalungu akhona ezifundeni noma ezifundazweni zawo unyaka ngamunye.
Lezindawo zokumisa zifeza izinjongo ezibalulekile futhi aziwona nje amaholide. Amalungu asebenzisa lesi sikhathi ukuhlangana namahholo, ukubamba amahholo edolobha, ukuvakashela amabhizinisi nezinhlangano zendawo, nokuqhuba eminye imisebenzi emelelwayo. Nokho, ukuvama nobude bezindawo zokumisa izivumelwano kungabangela impikiswano, ikakhulukazi uma ibhizinisi lezemithetho lihlala lingapheli noma lapho izinkinga zesizwe zidinga ukunakekelwa.
Umbono Oyiphutha: Yonke Imisebenzi Iyaqophaka
Enye into edidayo ukuthi wonke amavoti e-concomponition abhaliwe futhi akhona obala. Eqinisweni, amavoti amaningi aqhutshwa ngevoti yezwi noma ngemvume evumelanayo, ngaphandle komlando wezikhundla ezingamalungu anye. Amavoti abhaliwe kuphela aveza umlando obala wendlela ilungu ngalinye elivota ngayo. Nakuba amavoti abhaliwe esetshenziselwa izindaba eziphikisanayo noma ezibalulekile, ibhizinisi elikhulu elivamile liqhutshwa ngokuvota noma ngokuvuma ngokuvumelanayo ukuba kugcinwe isikhathi.
Lokhu kusho ukuthi amarekhodi okuvota, nakuba eyigugu, awathathi yonke imibandela ethathwa yilungu noma zonke izinqumo ezenziwa yiKhomishane. Amalungu angasekela noma aphikise izinyathelo ezidlula ngevoti yezwi noma imvume evumelanayo ngaphandle komlando womphakathi wesikhundla sawo. Lokhu kungakwenza kube nzima ngabameleli ukuba bahlole ngokugcwele imibhalo yabameleli babo, nakuba amalungu ngokuvamile ememezela izikhundla zawo ezindabeni ezibalulekile ngisho nalapho amavoti engabhalwanga.
Umbono Oyiphutha: Ibhuloho Lidinga Izimemezelo Ezingu - 51 Zokudlula ESigele
Nakuba kuyiqiniso ngokwesayensi ukuthi amavoti avamile (51 uma bonke abasizi bekhona) anele ukudlulisa umthetho omkhulu eSigele, lokhu kuqinisa inqubo yeNkathi.

Ikusasa Lezigaba Zobumbano Nezikhangiso
Izimpikiswano Ngokuhlanganyela Ekude
Umqedazwe we-COVOID-19 waphoqelela uMkhandlu ukuba ubhekane nemibuzo ephathelene nokuthatha isinyathelo esikude nokuvota okwakucatshangwa kakhulu ngaphambili. Nakuba i House ithola ukuvota kwesikhashana, izimpikiswano ziyaqhubeka ngokuthi iSishaya-mthetho kufanele yini sivumele ukuthatha isinyathelo esikude ngendlela ethile. Abaxhasi baphikisa ngokuthi ubuchwepheshe bungenza uMkhandlu uphumelele ngokwengeziwe, uvumele amalungu ukuba ahlanganyele phakathi nezimo eziphuthumayo noma izinkinga zomuntu siqu, futhi unciphise isikhathi nezindleko zokuhamba njalo ukuya eWashington.
Abaphikisi baphikisa ngokuthi ukuthatha isinyathelo okungalawuleki kuyimfanelo enqubweni yokuzinqumela, ukuthi ukuvota okukude kunganciphisa ukulandisa nokusebenzelana komuntu siqu phakathi kwamalungu, futhi kungaphakamisa imibuzo engokomthetho-sisekelo ngokuthi kusho ukuthini ngoMkhandlu ukuba "uhlanganisene." lezimpikiswano zibonisa ukungezwani okukhulu phakathi kwesiko nenguquko, ukuphumelela nokuzinza, kanye nemibono ehlukene yokuthi uKhongolo lungasebenza kanjani ekhulwini lama-21 leminyaka. Isinqumo salemibuzo cishe siyoveza ukuhlelwa kwemicimbiso emashumini eminyaka ezayo.
Izinguquko Ezingase Zibe Khona Ekuthuthukiseni Imisebenzi
Kuye kwamiswa izinguquko ezihlukahlukene ezinqunyweni zokuvota phakathi neminyaka. Abanye abameleli bacela ukuba kufunelwe amavoti abhaliwe ezindabeni ezengeziwe ukuze kwandiswe ukubonakala nokulandisa.
