The Choosing Of Federal Officials(Law Enforcement and Auditing) in Representative Democratic Mode:Secretary Of Justice(Department Of Justice)-By Harsha Sankar

Dear Citizen,                                          October 2020

Of the departments of the federal executive branch which should not be chosen by the President or Congress, the Department Of Justice is that department that should investigate and if necessary should indict all federal government officials, employees, and contractors who are suspected of a crime or are a witness to such. The Department Of Justice should be separated from the Attorney General's Office as both departments have two distinct and separate roles.

A candidate for Secretary Of Justice should not be a participant in any branch of government for at least one year prior to the election. That candidate should also neither belong to any organization that is not publicly announced nor should its contents of its meetings be sealed in secrecy for at least two years prior to the election. Finally, that candidate should not belong to any group comprised solely of any government branch participants.

The President should accept all the applicants eligible for this position, limit the number of candidates for this position to ten, and then submit these choices of candidates to the US Senate. The reason why the US Senate is the body to review these choices is because they deal with matters which are both non-financial and affect the entire nation.

The upper house (US Senate) limits the number of candidates to five and then submits that list to the governor of each state. The governor of each state decides his or her choice of candidate and then he or she submits his or her choice to the President. The candidate who receives the majority of their votes is declared the Secretary of Justice.

If a candidate cannot get the majority of their votes to choose him or her, then the Top Three candidates are voted on, with a quorum of two-thirds, by the lower house(House of Representatives) of the US Congress. It is important to involve this specific house at this stage since they have not had previous involvement. The candidate who receives the majority of votes from its members is declared the Secretary Of Justice.

If a candidate still cannot get a majority of the lower house(House of Representatives) votes, then the Top Two candidates who received the highest number of lower house votes are voted on by the upper house(US Senate). The US Senate at this stage will be involved again in the selection of the Secretary Of Justice as the majority of its members, with a quorum of two-thirds, makes final decision.
