I am in need of a 400 word discussion post as well as two 200 word responses.
Discussion: Pick a current Executive Order, one that you strongly agree pick another current Executive Order that you oppose. Discuss both. Be sure to include information on why you feel the way you do about the particular Executive Orders and what makes you feel the way that you do. Include the number of and the title of the Executive Orders in the heading. https://www.federalregister.gov/presidential-documents/executive-orders
Response #1 (Powell): Hello Everyone,
For this weeks discussion, I have chosen Executive Order 14120 as the doctrine in which I can agree and Executive Order as the one I disagree with.
Executive Order 14120 was published on behalf of the First Lady of the United States and the Biden administration as a means to counteract lackluster women-specific health research methods which, according to this Executive Order have long been in place. Many of the medical advancements that face out modern society originated around men. After having two relatives suffer from conditions such as PCOS and cervical cancers, it is tempting to believe that medical research for women is inadequate, and could a serious revision. Many doctors will emphasize their work as “practice” and this is often due to our limited understand of medicine as it pertains to absolutes and cures. With the the vast physiological differences between men and women, the need for female specific medical practice is beyond overdue, thus earning my concurrence.
Executive Order 14092 was set in motion to reduce gun violence. I feel as if it is important to address this from the same administration to emphasize my neutral stance on politics. Gun violence is a significant problem in the United States, without question. Gathering analytical data to support both sides is easily accomplished. This Executive Order seeks to reinforce the Biden administrations stance on assault weapon and high capacity magazine bans. As someone who has been in law enforcement for more than 10 years now, I can confidently say that the vast majority of violence that plagues our society is not from these high capacity magazines and assault weapons, but rather, handguns. I have taken an obscene amount of these weapons from convicted felons, minors, in conjunction with narcotics, etc. and have seen first hand how this Executive Order misses the mark. After living in Europe for a period of time, I have learned that the total withdrawal of guns, does not equate to less violence. Violence will find a way if desired and sought after by someone. I disagree with the bans mentioned in this Executive Order as actions should be taken to increase punishment for those who disobey (significantly) as the repercussions, while they vary state to state, are often inadequate when seen objectively. Creating a system tailored to reducing crime rather than monetizing it should be the best temporary solution until change on a larger scale can be made.
I hope you all have a great week!
-Ryan

Response #2 (Brian): For this discussion, I chose to write about Executive Order 14113 – one which I agree with. This Executive Order, signed by President Biden on December 26, 2023, makes an adjustment to certain rates of pay within the Government. This Executive Order is usually signed by the sitting President every year just before the end of the calendar year. This Executive Order gives pay raises to Government employees. It is designed to ensure that the salaries of Federal employees remain fair and consistent with the rate of inflation and the competitive market. One reason why I strongly agree with this order is that it is what gives the uniformed military members a pay raise every year. With the rising costs of goods and services, it is extremely difficult for many military members to make ends meet. This Executive Order, while not a complete solution, gives military members and federal employees the chance to keep up with the economy and ensure that they can afford the basics of living.
One Executive Order that I don’t necessarily agree with is Executive Order 14043. This Executive Order, signed by President Biden on September 9, 2021, made it mandatory for all federal employees to receive the COVID-19 vaccine. I do not agree with this Executive Order because I feel that it infringes upon the employee’s rights to decide what type of medical vaccine and treatment they want to receive. I don’t think that the government should have made this a mandatory requirement. At a time when people were financially suffering and there were many unknowns, people did not want to lose their jobs or face reprimand because they refused to get the vaccine. This Executive Order was later revoked through Executive Order 14099, where government employees were no longer required to receive the vaccine. While the COVID era was confusing and a learning opportunity for everyone, I strongly believe that Executive Order 14043 was unnecessary and did not allow American citizens to make choices on what to do with their own health and body.
