On Jan. 20, 2021, a new chapter in American history began when Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, the country s first female vice president, were sworn into office. Harris role in the position is certainly monumental, but her nomination, while significant, was not a first. That honor, of being the first woman nominated by the Democratic party for the role of vice president, belongs to Geraldine A. Ferraro. In 1984, Ferraro, a congresswoman from Queens, strode on stage alongside Walter F. Mondale to accept the nomination, telling attendees at the Democratic National Convention, If we can do this, we can do anything. While the duo lost to Reagan, the

To the Editor:
In your article, “Words matter: Rhetoric became rage in D.C. insurrection,” Rep. Madison Cawthorn admits that he cannot prove fraud in the presidential election, but is quoted as saying “.what I can prove is that the Constitution was definitely subverted and circumvented.” He does not share his proof so we, his constituents, can evaluate his position, but there is a larger question.
For over 200 years, the courts and especially the United State Supreme Court have been the arbiters of constitutional questions, not individual congressmen. If we want to leave a functioning republic to future generations, we need to respect our institutions and let them fulfill their proper roles. Anyone can have opinions about what is and is not constitutional, but if every one of our 535 representatives and senators think they understand the constitution better than the courts, we will have chaos.

For years hospitals have litigated the issue of what days can be included as Medicaid eligible days. The statute permits the Secretary of Health and Human Services (Secretary) to include patient d
