A **civil union** (also known as a **civil partnership**) is a legally recognized arrangement similar to marriage, created primarily as a means to provide recognition in law for same-sex couples. Civil unions grant most or all of the rights of marriage except the title itself. Around the world, developed democracies began establishing civil unions in the late 1990s, often developing them from less formal domestic partnerships, which grant only some of the rights of marriage. In the majority of countries that established these unions in laws, they have since been either supplemented or replaced by same-sex marriage. Civil unions are viewed by LGBT rights campaigners as a “first step” towards establishing same-sex marriage, as civil unions are viewed by supporters of LGBT rights as a “separate but equal” or “second class” status. While civil unions are often established for both opposite-sex couples and same-sex couples, in a number of countries they are available to same-sex couples only. in the case of a crisis, like our economy, the president can declare martial law.anyone (not just minority) who dont cooperate ect. with the new world order agenda, or that cant contribute to the government will be gathered by federal agents and taken to concentration camps.god forbid we cant pay our taxes! at least thats the way i understand it. the executive branch of our government is not chief legislator. laws are legislated by congress. the president's duty is to see to it that the laws are carried out. as commander in chief, the president acts as the non-military person in charge of all military operations and is the civilian head. our forefathers wanted a civilian to head the services because they feared that a military headed by a military person would wield too much power and would threaten the stability of the country if they ever tried to thwart the will of congress and the president.

chow!! a) the ppp projects may be posed by the central ministries, state government or statutory authorities (like municipal authorities and councils), which own the underlying assets;.b) to be eligible for financing under the scheme, the ppp projects should be implemented, i.e. developed, financed, constructed, maintained and operated for the projects term by a private sector company to be selected by the government or a statutory entity through a transparent and open competitive bidding process.c) the criterion for bidding should be the amount of viability gap funding required by the private sector company for implementing the project where all other parameters are comparable.d) the project should provide a service against payment of pre-determined tariff or user charge.e) this scheme will apply only if the contract/concession is awarded in favour of a private sector company.f) the approval to projects is given prior to invitation of bids and actual disbursement takes place once the private entity has expended his portion of the equity.g) the final vgf is determined through the bidding.
the detailed vgf guidelines may be accessed at the following&nbsp;link. Our democratic system was originally setup to involve as many parties as possible. In fact, George Washington warned in his farewell address about the establishment of parties at all and advised that they not be formed. In practice, however, two parties were able to dominate by the mid-19th century.   

  

Today, the most viable option for third parties exist in states that allow candidates to run on multiple party tickets. A great example of this is the Working Families party in New York State. The Working Families party nominates candidates, usually on the democratic line, who can be voted for under the Working Families ticket instead of Democratic -- to give the politicians the message that they care about social issues for working families. The party is able to exert significant influence by refusing to endorse candidates who do not stand up for working families -- and has cost several candidates their seats because of their failure to earn the party's endorsement.   

  

Note that these third parties have primaries of their own that are sanctioned by the state.   

  

That said, parties like this are the ones paving the way towards BALLOT REFORM, which if instituted would open up the field to more parties who can gain real influence. Vermont or New Hampshire are seen as the states most likely to institute this first. i think you mean the line of succession. 

president george w. bush

1 vice president / president of the senate dick cheney 
2 speaker of the house of representatives nancy pelosi (god help us!)
3 president pro tempore of the senate robert byrd 
4 secretary of state condoleezza rice 
5 secretary of the treasury henry paulson 
6 secretary of defense robert gates 
7 attorney general michael mukasey 
8 secretary of the interior dirk kempthorne 
9 secretary of agriculture ed schafer 
— secretary of commerce carlos gutierrez (non-natural)† 
— secretary of labor elaine chao (non-natural)† 
10 secretary of health and human services michael leavitt 
11 secretary of housing and urban development alphonso jackson 
12 secretary of transportation mary peters 
13 secretary of energy samuel bodman 
14 secretary of education margaret spellings 
15 secretary of veterans affairs james peake 
16 secretary of homeland security michael chertoff


non-natural office holders like elaine chao i guess would be passed over for the person below them.

the simple chain of command on the other hand is all the president's secretaries all answer to him or her directly. the secretary's people answer to them and so on.

the vp plays no formal leadership role while the president is alive and conscious though clearly our current vp is a pretty important advisor.
