So a big part of my job application process is getting faculty members who know me to write me letters of recommendation.

But on what basis should the three branches be divided? It came down to two dueling ideas: Madison's proposal of an executive, judicial, and legislative branch, and Georgia's Joseph Morton's proposal to dole out power according to "The presence, forbearance, rectitude and largeosity of one's 'Plums and Carrot'."

SO a couple of years back, when the opportunity arose, I opted into my employers prescription drug plan.
