Question

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) is a government agency that oversees the safety of thousands of consumer products sold in the United States. This includes both domestic goods and imports those produced inside and those produced outside the country, respectively. The agency collects and investigates complaints from consumers about potentially faulty products and works with manufacturers to issue recalls as needed. About 400 recalls are issued each year, where products are returned to the company for replacement, repair, or refund. Consumers can learn about recalls on the CPSC website. In addition, the CPSC recommends that consumers register newly purchased products to receive any recall information as quickly and efficiently as

possible.

In 2016, Samsung launched its Galaxy Note7 smartphone and soon began receiving complaints of exploding batteries. Some people experienced burns and in some cases the faulty batteries led to destructive fires. Videos and pictures of the damage spread widely online. Initially Samsung offered its own recall for replacement, but the CPSC made it official as the number of incidents continued to grow. When the replacements also failed, the CPSC issued a new official recall forcing Samsung to refund the purchase or replace with a completely different device. This affected 1.9 million devices sold in the United States. The Galaxy Note 7 was discontinued.

A. Referring to the scenario, describe the executive branch authority exercised by the CPSC in
issuing recalls for the Samsung Galaxy Note 7.

B. Describe an action Congress could take to address the issue of faulty consumer products
sold in the United States.

C. Explain how the action described in part B would affect the interaction between a branch of the federal government and the bureaucracy.

Answer 1

A. The foregoing situation falls under the responsibilities and obligations of Congress, which is given the authority by the US Constitution to adopt and establish a uniform standard of naturalization throughout the nation. Because of the Constitution, Congress has the power to decide which foreign nationals are eligible to apply to become citizens of the United States and under what circumstances. On the other hand, the USCIS manages the country's lawful immigration system, safeguarding its integrity and promise via promptly submitted and accurately evaluated petitions to assure immigration advantages while also securing the nation and supporting its principles. To develop a system of uniform naturalization and pass essential laws allowing immigrants to become citizens of the United States, however, has historically fallen solely on the legislature under the Constitution.

B. One action Congress might take to remedy the problem is the introduction of a bill that tackles the issue of unintended non-citizen voter registration in the context of the particular time period. For instance, the Voting Rights Act, which was ratified by Congress in 1965, prohibited any kind of voting discrimination, including the adoption of literacy tests as a requirement for voting, which had been used by the majority of southern states during the civil war. Nearly a century after it was enacted, the fifteenth amendment to the Constitution has ultimately put into effective effect thanks to the legislation.

C. After the Voting Rights Act of 1965 was passed, African Americans' political condition in the southern states underwent a significant adjustment. The Act forbade any state from preventing African Americans from voting by using literacy tests or other means. The USCIS's job was made simpler by the Act thanks to Congress's efforts, and the nation's citizen naturalization procedure was operating efficiently.
