In the United States, the Congress has authorised bid protests in recognition of their role in providing redress to disappointed bidders and in ensuring the integrity of the federal procurement process. By statute, three forums have authority to hear bid protests against the federal government: the procuring agency, the Government Accountability Office (GAO), and the Court of Federal Claims. The article discusses the issues that may be protested with GAO (i.e. possible grounds of protest), who and when may file a protest, who else can be a party in these protests, when GAO must render its final decision on the protest, and other potential conditions in such cases. The article also presents possible resolutions of these protests and legal effects of GAO’s nonbinding recommendations. At the end of the article, the author gives some bid protest statistics, as well as core advantages and disadvantages of this procedure.

The Warsaw Uprising of August to October 1944 is a most appropriate subject given the impending 60th anniversary observance of this heroic and tragic occurrence. Our panel affords us with the opportunity to discuss and to reflect on this event, which in many ways embodies so much of the larger story of modern Poland. Our discussion occurs also at a time when we recall many other events of 1944, a climactic year in World War II. June 6 marks the 60th anniversary of the successful and massive Allied military invasion of France in Normandy. This victory was the decisive military achievement of the United States of America and its allies against Nazi Germany on the western front.

Term limits for US Congress are back in the political agenda with another proposition of constitutional amendment having been introduced in the House of Representatives. Even though it seems that it doesn’t stand much chances in Congress, it shows yet again that congressional term limits are still considered the most desired of all constitutional reforms. From constitutional perspective the right of the states to impose term limits on their representatives and senators remains the most controversial issue, despite Supreme Court’s Decision in U.S. Term Limits, Inc. v. Thornton in 1995. The article not only offers a critical comment on this particular decision, but it also presents argument in favor of constitutionality of term limits under both the tenth amendment and — to a limited extend — time, places and manner clause. It is argued that congressional term limits removing long-term representatives and senators from the ballot but allowing them to run a write-in campaign are a manner regulation which means that they are constitutional under the time, places and manner clause of the constitution. To support this conclusion the article draws on current as well as historical sources, both primary and secondary

The article focuses on the question of the creation of the U.S. Department of State and its functions. We surveyed historiography (works by Mihalkanin E., Plischke E., West R.,Glad B. and so on). For over 200 years, the Department of State has conducted American diplomacy through war and peace, amidst the competing currents of isolationism and internationalism that have shaped American foreign policy and its commitment to liberty and democracy. The Department of State was established as the Department of Foreign Affairs by the act of July 27, 1789 and became the first Federal agency to be created under the new Constitution. In September 1789, additional legislation changed the name of the agency to the Department of State and assigned to it a variety of duties. There are 5 main periods of existence of the U.S. Department of State: the emerging State Department (1789–1860), the Department comes of age (1861–1895), managing the foreign affairs of a great power (1900–1940), the Department of state and the U.S. as a Superpower (1945–1960), the Department of State's role in the U.S. Foreign Affairs Community (1961–2000). Special attention is paid to the positions of the Secretary of State who is in charge of defining and implementing U.S. foreign policy. Thomas Jefferson, Henry Kissinger, John Quincy Adams, William Jennings Bryan, Henry Clay, James Madison, George C. Marshall, George Schultz, and Daniel Webster are just a few of the Secretaries who played the greatest role in the providing of the USA’ foreign affairs. Then author gives the illustration of the secretary relations with the President, Cabinet and Congress.

In this study we examine whether, and if so how, the confluence of religion and party has impacted voting in the U.S Congress over the past half century. We address two primary questions: first, has religion contributed to the growing political partisanship among members of Congress over this period, and second, if so, are these cleavages reflected in congressional voting patterns? We answer both questions in the affirmative.

The article is divided into six parts. In Part I, the author gives introductory notes describing the powers of US Congress. In the subsequent sections, he tries to find out what is the actual status of that body in the system of government. He provides a very positive evaluation of that status in Part II, and presents negative arguments thereon in Part III. In Part IV he analyzes - as he himself defines them - the seven deadly sins of Congress: the growing “balkanization” of the Congress; overexposed position of its committees and subcommittees in the political system; its decades-long weak party discipline and lesser legal and political status of the parliamentary party factions; different Achilles heels of Congressmen; doubtful representativeness of Congress, the excessive complexity of the existing procedures that are used by a temporary minority to delay, block or undermine the necessary legislative proposals, and little, as it seems to be, attention of Congress to its image in society. Part V deals with redefinition of the functions of Congress. The author agrees with those researchers who believe that it was many years ago that Congress ceased to be able to effectively and independently perform its legislative function, as well as that its main role is not law-making, but a specifically understood oversight. Part VI ncludes the conclusions.

The main purpose of this article is to bring the reader into an atmosphere of intensity created by the political disputes about the need of immigration reform in the United States. It is unquestionable that problems of the immigrants, who for decades were crossing illegally American borders, contribute to internal political turbulences in this country. This article proceeds on the assumption, that the immigration related problems created a social „melting pot” which became one of the most serious challenges for the American policymakers. The confrontation of the President with Congress was inevitable. On the one hand, Obama’s administration started to regulate the status of illegal immigrants by executive orders; on the other hand, the Congress was determined to bloc these actions as illegal attempts of the President violating the prerogatives of the legislative body. The conflict resulted in the stalemates which seriously undermined the effectiveness of the American system of checks and balances. The lack of legal certainty, a necessary component of the reliability of the democratic governments, triggered the dispute over the values of the interpretational flexibility of the Constitution of the United States.

Modern political thinkers have ushered in the theoretical concepts of modern alliances and collective security/defense. Before these political theories were turned into modern organizations, many radical changes had to take place in how international relations were perceived in Europe and the world. These dynamic changes started at the end of the Thirty Years War, with the signing of the Westphalia treaties in 1648, and came to fruition with the forming of the League of Nations in 1920. This article explores this 272 year historical process including its impact on the population of the Baltic Sea countries.
