To Create Question Time for the President of the United States

Created by S.W. on April 19, 2013

The Parliament of the United Kingdom frequently questions the Prime Minister; this is how constituents know that members of their legislative branch are continually ensuring that the executive is responding to the legislative concerns. Thus, it is in the best interest of the United States Federal Government to establish President's Question Time. Following the guidelines established by the advocacy group No Labels, "on a rotating basis the House and Senate would issue monthly invitations to the president to appear in the respective chamber for questions and discussion. Each question period would last 90 minutes and would be televised. The majority and minority would alternate questions." This would ensure real debate on the issues and foster an open relationship between the two branches.
