Michelle Obama is one of  TIME  Magazine's 100 Most Influential People.  And none other than Beyonce wrote a touching tribute to the  Becoming  author and former first lady for the magazine, revealing how she's become an inspiration to not only her, but her young children as well.  "She would’ve been impactful simply by being in the White House, the first African-American First Lady. But she also used her position of power to improve the world around her," the GRAMMY-winning musician writes. "Her initiative Reach Higher, for example, encourages young people to complete their education past high school. She empowers all of us to interrogate our fears and surpass greatness."

The National Assembly had submitted the minimum wage bill to the President since March 27.
