	Flag of the United States - MSN Encarta
		On June 14, 1777, Congress made the following resolution: “The flag of the United States shall be thirteen stripes, alternate red and white, with a union of thirteen stars of white on a blue field...” Official announcement of the new flag was not made until September 3, 1777.
		The 49th and 50th stars were added in 1959 and 1960, respectively, after Alaska and Hawaii were admitted to the Union.
		The latter are supplemented in most of the states by laws prohibiting the use of the U.S. flag for advertising purposes.

	President of the United States of America - Wikinfo
		The United States was the first nation to create the office of president as the head of state in a modern Republic, and today the presidential system of government is used in many countries throughout the world.
		From the early 20th century, the United States' status as a superpower has led the American president to be one of the world's best-known public figures.
		The President must be a natural born citizen of the United States (or a citizen of the United States at the time the U.S. Constitution was adopted), at least 35 years of age, and a resident of the United States for at least fourteen years.

	United States History - Ambivalent Empire
		The last decades of the 19th century were a period of imperial expansion for the United States, as it extended its influence, and at times its domain, over widely scattered areas in the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans and into Central America.
		Nevertheless, the United States found itself in a familiar colonial role when it suppressed an armed independence movement in the Philippines in the first decade of its occupation.
		Widespread protests in the United States against the use of American soldiers and the idea of colonial rule persuaded President Grover Cleveland and Congress to reject annexation at first.

		Between 1790 and 1810, the islands were united politically under the leadership of a native king, Kamehameha I, whose five successors—all bearing the name Kamehameha—ruled from his death in 1819 until the end of the dynasty in 1872.
		The state's economy lagged during the remainder of the decade, as foreign investment dwindled, federal military and civilian employment dropped, and a decade-long recession in Japan discouraged tourism from that country.
		State and federal authorities in the 1990s focused on the status of the more than 200,000 descendants of Hawaii's original inhabitants; income, health, and education levels for these indigenous Hawaiians are markedly lower than among the population at large.

	UN debates co-operation with IPU
		Since both the IPU and the United Nations stand to serve the ideals which are very similar in character and purpose and since their activities are mutually reinforcing, it is important that co-operation between these two Organizations is institutionalized and strengthened.
		The parliamentary institution is one of the fundamental branches of the State.
		Relations between the United Nations and the Inter-Parliamentary Union should be based not only on the same principles and objectives shared by the two Organizations, but also on the awareness that programmes of the United Nations could hardly be effectively realized without the full support and understanding of the parliaments of the UN Member States.

	The United States Flag - Public and Intergovernmental Affairs
		The flag of the United States is one of the oldest national standards in the world.
		As other states entered the Union, it became obvious that stripes could not be added continually, so in 1818 Congress reestablished the 13-stripe flag for the original 13 colonies and allowed for additional stars for new states.
		When the 49th and 50th stars were added in 1959 and 1960, the standards of design became even more precise.

	Computing Apportionment
		Therein lies the primary mandate of the U.S. census, apportionment of the House of Representatives.
		The priority value is determined by multiplying the population of a state by a "multiplier." For example, following the 1990 census, each of the 50 states was given one seat out of the current total of 435.
		Once you've calculated priority values for each state for the total anticipated seats, the next step is to rank and number the resulting priority values starting with seat 51 until all 435 seats have been assigned (remember, each state automatically received one seat).

		Criticism of the United Nations ranges widely: from the serious, which seek to increase the organization's efficiency and effectiveness, to the incredulous, such as "fl helicopters" which are supposedly preparing to take over the United States.
		No single United Nations peacekeeper has been deployed without the positive vote of the United States, who could always, in any case, exercise their right of veto.
		This is the equivalent of 1.1 percent of the United States' military budget, and less than 0.3 percent of worldwide military spending.

		I think we must not forget that it is the duty of all Member States, from the biggest to the smallest, from the most powerful to the weakest, to pay their annual assessments in full, on time, and without conditions.
		The United Nations will also continue to be crucial in the erection of international legal structures that promote the primacy of international law.
		However, for the primacy of international law to prevail it is necessary, indeed indispensable, for all states which are members of the United Nations to accept as soon as possible the jurisdiction of the International Court of Justice.

	Israel and the United Nations - Introduction
		In December 1995, shortly after the United States Congress passed its "Jerusalem bill," mandating that the United States must move its embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem by 1999, the UN voted 133 to 1 against Israel’s sovereignty in Jerusalem.
		and states its goal to be the "Struggle against the Jewish state and the Jews’ conspiracy against Islam." It has launched terrorist attacks against Western, Israeli and Jewish targets in Lebanon, Israel and around the world.
		In response, the United States reprimanded the GA, saying that its interjection into the peace process, and matters that the parties had agreed to discuss during face-to-face negotiations, would only further complicate the situation in the Middle East.

		These States have been admitted with only the Act of Admission itself- instead of the third, recognition type of Enabling Act- recognizing a State government already formed by these future States.
		Congress and the President (who must sign either Acts of Admission or Joint Resolutions declaring Admission) reserve the right to place conditions upon Admission.
