Roman Empire Leadership

The United States is a country that is dependent on a strong and passionate leader. Without this the Country will fall in a most dismal fashion. If a country does not have strong and faithful leadership to the country as a whole, the Country will fall. The Roman Empire is a prime example as to how the United States is being run into the ground by poor leadership, this being not only the President, but all parts of the executive branch as a whole

Leadership is a necessity. This is a statement that most everyone agrees with. While having a solid president is a good thing, having solid senators and representatives is also a necessity in leadership. The United States falls very short on the path of greatness recently, and there’s no doubt lack …show more content…
As said in the quote History shows bad government and Rome is a prime example. While Rome was in the midst of its downfall all the people were concerned about the Emperor and treating him almost as a god.

Obama (hate to beat a dead horse) is a prime example in the fact that he promised to send the troops home as one of the first things he would do. We know how that turned out… George Bush Sr. also had the infamous “read my lips, no new taxes,” well let’s just say there was a tax spike. Aside from that many people only look at the president as this celebrity that is for some reason more important than everyone else. Just because he’s the president doesn’t mean he should be held on a …show more content…
They are wrong. Instead of people arguing over personal beliefs and allowing it to blind the outlook of real problems (those that affect the entire country ie. war, schools, corruption, liberties and economics) not blinding side issues that usually “distinct” the political parties. On the issue of placing the president higher than the populous just isn’t healthy. Especially considering it gives him the feeling that they’re in control. For example, president George Bush Jr. fast tracked the Patriot act through congress giving him direct control to enact war, martial law and use surveillance on the American public. Obviously this an abuse of power and even heightens his
