Presidential Elections Persuasive Essay

Improved Essays
The candidates of this election cycle have strong, differing opinions. Many American citizens believe that in this election, they have to choose between the lesser of two evils. They either do not like either of the candidates or do not agree with everything they are representing.

Trump opposes abortion. Trump stated that he supports a woman's right to choose, but strongly disagrees when they make the decision to have an abortion (Ballotpedia). “Trump also plans on signing into law the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act and making the Hyde Amendment permanent law” (Ballotpedia). Trump’s decisions are all correct and they need to be put into effect. The Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act should be made a law because it would prevent a mother from having an abortion after twenty weeks because the fetus would be capable of feeling pain. The Hyde Amendment needs to be made permanent because it prevents the use of certain federal funds paying for an abortion. Hillary Clinton, on the other hand, expresses her support for abortion rights. She has discussed being against banning late-term abortions (Ballotpedia). She also said she will defend Roe v. Wade (Ballotpedia). Clinton’s views on allowing late term abortions are not right; supporting abortion is supporting ending a child’s life before it starts. Clinton supports the court case Roe v. Wade because it made it legal for women to have abortions. Women should not have the option to have an abortion; if they do not wish to keep their child they can give the baby up for

    I remember when Donald Trump first announced his political run for office. He built his campaign on the slogan: We’re going to Make America Great Again, “reinforced” by his bold claim of “building a wall”. When Trump got down into the weeds with Megyn Kelly during the first Fox News Republican debate, I sensed Donald Trump was a proud and arrogant man. I went on my own campaign against him; making phone calls, writing emails, calling news agencies and talk shows, posting madly to Facebook — whatever I could do to try to stop a really bad person from wrecking the Republican Party and damaging the nation. NeverTrump was my obsession, but it was, at that time, merely political for me.…

    Imagine sitting at a table and drafting a document that is going to govern and choose the United Stated president every four years for the rest of history. In 1787, the values and thoughts of those men were about fairness and a balance of government that they had not found being under British rule. Now as a citizen of the United States, we go into booths and either press a button or mark with a pencil who we would like to be our president or at least that is what we think. The actual process of electing the president is handled by a group of individuals elected by our citizens that cast a vote based on what we as citizens mark in that booth. We can all agree that while it was fair and balanced with 13 states in 1787, we may need to relook…

The Hyde amendment did not completely remove federal aid for abortions but at the time, it significantly limited it. Even though Roe v.

    Electoral College Alternative The Electoral College is a voting system that was put into place by our founding fathers in the constitution. The Electoral College has 538 electors and out of those electors, 270 votes are needed to win an election (National Archives and Records Administration 1) .

    We the people. This phrase was created to give the people of the United States of America freedom. Freedom to choose, to express how they feel, and the right to vote without the British or unjust governments getting in their way.

    A democracy is a form of government in which the supreme power is vested in the people, and the United States claims to have the freest and most democratic in the world. In fact, many consider the American democracy to be a shining beacon of freedom, more so than any other nation on earth. Yet, upon closer examination of the U.S. presidential election process, this claim begins to deteriorate. Due to the founding fathers’ distrust in the ability of average voters to choose a president, they created the Electoral College: a system through which each state is given a number of electors based on its number of members in Congress. State legislatures choose a set of electors who later convene to cast votes for president.…

    Civics Persuasive Essay Fresh out of the presidential election of 2000, many people were convinced that the electoral college had to go. In the Gore vs Bush election, Bush had come out the winner, although only in the electoral college. Surprisingly, in a rare turn of events, Gore exceeded Bush in popular votes, and it was only through a long scuffle over the state of Florida that Bush finally won the presidency. For a great portion of the population, approximately 62% according to an article on Gallup by Lydia Saad, it was time to amend the constitution and replace the electoral voting system with strictly popular vote as the means of attaining the presidency. I, on the other hand, after investigating the issue years later, have decided otherwise, that it is best to hold onto the institution of the electoral college when electing a president.…
