Executive branch((2)

source: "White house records in Facebook era". DARRELL,REP. 10/7/10. http://www.politico.com/news/stories/1010/43214.html

(2)The Executive branch. the white house.  http://www.whitehouse.gov/our-government/executive-branch

Constitutional connection: "The power of the Executive Branch is responsible for implementing and enforcing the laws written by Congress and, to that end, appoints the heads of the federal agencies, including the Cabinet. The Vice President is also part of the Executive Branch, ready to assume the Presidency should the need arise." (2)

Explanation of connection:
       Technology cannot be considered as good but also as something bad. You can be texting someone for homework or texting someone to go beat up a kid at school. Well technology didn't make the white house records stay so "secretly."
       This article demonstrates an example of hoe executive branch in the United Sates would work. For example, in the article it says how the executive branch didn't (or still isn't) doing a good job in doing what they are suppose to do. And once again this article talks about how the Washington records ended up on facebook because of technology. If the executive branch would have been doing  what they are suppose to do (which is to enforce laws) then none of this would've happen. (This is what I'm getting from the article).
     I think that it is good that we have an executive branch that would make our laws even better. I also like this form of government because this way, the legislative branch (the branch that MAKES the laws) doesn't get all power. They have someone to look/be aware that they are being watched and criticized.
