	United States - Haiti - a Wikia wiki
		The United States also holds several other territories, districts and possessions, notably the federal district of the District of Columbia, which is the nation's capital, and several overseas insular areas, the most significant of which are Puerto Rico, American Samoa, Guam, Northern Mariana Islands, and the United States Virgin Islands.
		The United States does not have an official language at federal level; nevertheless, English is spoken by the vast majority of the population and serves as the de facto language: English is the language used for legislation, regulations, executive orders, treaties, federal court rulings, and all other official pronouncements.
		Spanish follows English as the second-most spoken language in the United States, primarily due to the influence of recent Latin American immigrants, and it is a primary spoken language in some areas of the Southwest.

	Political scandals of the United States - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Another approach might be to categorize American political scandals by the nature of the alleged wrongdoing (separating "private immorality" scandals, where possible, from graft, bribery, and other abuse of the public trust; or separating misconduct that led to criminal indictment, from non-criminal matters).
		A frequent element of major political scandals is stonewalling, and often a cover-up is involved, which in some cases can even lead to formal criminal charges of obstruction of justice or perjury.
		In either case, it is widely believed that political scandals are capable of profoundly undermining the credibility of government, in the public mind.

		The United Nations was founded to maintain international peace and security, promote self-determination and basic human rights, and protect fundamental freedoms, but member states have piled numerous mandates and responsibilities on the U.N. that are far beyond these original responsibilities and vastly outstrip its resources and capabilities.
		Due to this accretion of poorly thought-out mandates, insufficient transparency and accountability, and the reluctance of member states to curtail cherished sinecures, the system is bureaucratic, costly, cumbersome, and lacking in oversight.
		It is clearly in the interests of the United States to engage the United Nations and use the organization to advance its interests as a force multiplier and as a means to facilitate cooperation from other nations to address common problems.
