If you could be part of one of the three branches of the federal government, which would you select and why? Outline three positive and three negative reasons for holding that position, whether it's Speaker of the House, the president, or a Supreme Court justice. Which role's responsibilities appear intriguing? Which appear overwhelming?

If given a chance then I would like to be the part of the executive branch of the federal government. The main reason behind this selection are as below:-

This is the branch of the government which is responsible for overall management of the country which includes economy, defence, interiors an external security and so on.

This seems to be a challenging job as there are a number of branches of the government with which the proper coordination will be required.

This Brach also deals with the promotion of citizen rights and maintenance of constitutional duties in the country, thus it is a job which can be used to protect and promote the welfare of the common public.

Negative aspects:- The negative aspects of this brand are as below:-

There are a number of rights and authorities which are given o executive branch which can harm the interest of common public due to lack of proper check and balance

There is a danger of utilizing the executive order authority which can undermine the right of separation of powers given by the constitution and many can misuse this.

The branch can pass the bills which may not reflect the interest and feeling of common citizens

For me, the most intriguing responsibilities seem to be of Supreme Court justice as being the justice of Supreme court, the person has to follow the constitutional law and several precedents and ensure that no innocent individual is victimized. This is quite challenging as with the increased pursue on the judiciary and social media and public trial, it is very difficult for a judge to be completely isolated from these events and news and give decision without any bias.

On the other hand, the most overwhelming responsibilities are associated with the President as he has to take care of all the aspects of the country i.e. internal security, economy, external threat, international politics, promoting the concerns and benefits of the country in the world, taking various decision on daily basis and so on. Thus this job is full of diversified issues.
