		The son of a U.S. congressman and a practicing medical doctor, Merriam worked as a young man with the Hayden survey.
		Merriam's 1890 paper argued that altitudinal shifts in community composition seen on Arizona's San Francisco Mountain correlated with latitudinally arranged "life zones" across the North American continent, both gradients being controlled by temperature.
		Merriam's 1893 paper attacked experimental biology in defense of natural history, a position also favored by his friend Roosevelt.

		Reintroduction of the Merriam's turkey by trapping and releasing the native Merriam's turkey into historic ranges has been very successful and is considered one of North America's wildlife success stories.
		In fact, many of the Merriam's turkeys in the remote regions of the southwest, may have never been hunted or called to by hunters.
		If you expect to be successful in harvesting a trophy Merriam's turkey, you will need to do your home work as to where populations are the highest, a lot of scouting in advance for where the birds are right now and then a lot of ground pounding to actually catch up with one.

	Creek Running North
		Merriam is best known for his “life zones,”; the now deprecated but still useful recognition that mountain biomes change as you change elevation much as they do if you change latitude.
		If you walk from the 12,663-foot summit of Mount Humphries, north of Flagstaff, to Phantom Ranch at the bottom of the Grand Canyon, Merriam pointed out, the environments through which you hike change as markedly in less than sixty air miles as they would in a sea-level journey from the Arctic Ocean to Hermosillo, Sonora.
		But though the life-zones concept is the first thing to come to a bio undergrad’s mind when you mention Merriam, he made his mark on the west in other ways as well.

		The ultimate power of Congress over the President is that of impeachment or removal of the elected President through a House vote, a Senate trial, and a Senate vote.
		The threat of using this power has had major political ramifications in the cases of Presidents Andrew Johnson, Richard Nixon, and Bill Clinton.
		The President makes around 2,000 executive appointments, including members of the Cabinet and ambassadors, which must be approved by the Senate; the President can also issue executive orders and pardons, and has other Constitutional duties, among them the requirement to give a State of the Union address to Congress once a year.
