No country has increased birth rates sustainably without major coersion. China is still using soft coercion and offering incentives.
And what do you do with and and the b and then the a and the c? If you want to simplify the equation?
And what do you do with the number inside the when you want to get rid of it?
If you don't remember pemdas, you can use the longer P.lease E.xcuse M.y D.ear A.unt S.ally.
Pemdas, parenthesis first, for a total of 3. Then multiplication, 15, then addition. 17. What's hard about this?
Theoretically each candidate can vote however they like for each vote.
The leaders of each party in each house of Congress can do things with committee assignments that increase or decrease a senator/representatives influence. Buck the party line too often and you can be neutered as far as influence over writing laws. Leadership is elected by the lawmakers of their party though, so if they lean too hard or force too many unpopular votes they can be removed from leadership.
In practice they tend to want to work with each other and get along. Inter party fights are embarrassing. Some lawmakers from states outside the norm ideologically can get away with voting against the party by pointing to their constituents and usually leadership takes this into account before deciding whether to hold a vote.
Joe manchin was a Democrat from West Virginia. He famously voted against several of Bidens environmental bills to favor coal mining. John Tester was a Democrat from Montana who neutered parts of the ACA under Obama. In both cases the Democratic president needed every single democratic senator to agree or the vote wouldn't pass because their was no chance of Republicans crossing the isle.
Republicans allow much less ideological diversity through their primaries, so even a Republican like Scott Brown from Massachusetts was a solid conservative.
