Pros And Cons Of Being A President

Decent Essays
I honestly don’t know who I would want to be the 45th president of the United states because I’m not really interested in politics as other people are, but the main reasons I don’t know is because I don’t: watch the news, follow them or add them to social media, care what they have to say, and plus I’m 17 years old and don’t get a say or a vote until I turn 18, and my family isn’t that big on voting so I don’t hear what the people running plan on doing if they become president the only thing I hear is that I shouldn’t vote for Trump. So I know the point in this assignment was to tell who I wanted the 45th president to be but I am sorry I honestly don’t know, so I do apologize.

    The Pros of a Donald Trump Presidency American politics have always fascinated me. Where else can you find a medium that discusses some of the world's most pressing issues, while at the same time giving you an opportunity to analyze American behavior as it unfolds upon a political system that has influenced many other countries, including the Dominican Republic. But let’s be honest, politics can also be very dull, with its insipid candidates, anticlimactic voting system, and laws worded in such a way that would confuse even Joyce. Thank god for Donald Trump!…

    One of the earliest politicians who displayed political courage and did not succumb to the three pressures that discourage political courage was the young senator from Massachusetts John Quincy Adams who joined the senate in 1803. Being the son of the former U.S President John Adams, the Federalist party pressured John Quincy Adams to live up to their expectations and point of views. However, from the beginning, John Quincy Adams had strong puritan views, that frequently collided with the viewpoints of his political party, leading him to break off quickly from the Federalist. For example, supporting the Louisiana Purchase and the call on Congress to enact an embargo against Great Britain, which in turn would have a dreadful effect on Massachusetts economy.…

    As the Americans were creating their new government, they kept the features of the government they did not want in mind. They wanted to ensure that their government was very different from the monarchy that Britain had by trying to make a central government where its powers were not necessarily weak, but where the power rested in the people. Another feature that the Americans did not want in their new government was unequal representation. They despised the lack of representation they had in Parliament, and as they created their new government they ensured that every state was represented equally so the concerns of the people could be properly addressed. Because of this, the American public was adamant that the new government’s powers were…

    Executive privilege is a right held by the executive branch that allows the president to withhold information and while the Constitution does not grant this power to the executive explicitly, presidents have justified executive privilege using the Constitution’s separation of powers doctrine and the role of the executive branch in foreign affairs (O’Brien). The sole organ theory also asserts that the president alone acts as a representative on behalf of the country when dealing with foreign nations and in issues of international conflict (O’Brien). With regards to the treaty with Great Britain, Washington has the ability to invoke executive privilege in this case based on implied and explicit powers in the Constitution, the separation of powers doctrine, and precedent set by the Supreme Court. Certain powers are implicit…

    When people began judging president Trump for the idea of a ban on Muslims entering the United States, he quoted as a relevant historical event, World War II and the proclamations issued by then-President Franklin D. Roosevelt empowering the authorities to send away Japanese, German and Italian immigrants. In 1942, Roosevelt delivered an executive order that sent Japanese-Americans, many of them families that had been settled in the United States for generations, they were sent to so-called internment camps established along the West Coast. Trump described Roosevelt's policies as "far worse," but history experts have suggested the former president's wartime decisions weren't a good example for Trump to use at all. While Americans initially…

    Term limits are defined as statutory limitations placed on the number of terms that officeholders may serve and are typically specified in a constitution (term limits). In 1947, after president Roosevelt’s death, Congress passed the 22nd amendment establishing presidential term limits and was ratified by the states in 1951 (Ultius). The 22nd amendment to the constitution of the United States declares that the nation’s president cannot be elected to more than two four-year terms (Benjamin). The constitutions of several U.S. states apply similar limits on the terms of the state’s respective governors, however, the limitations vary with each state across the country. Some states have enforced term limit policies while other states have no policy.…

    Ever since the Revolutionary War which has won the freedom of the newly founded country of America from the British, the founding fathers made the Constitution to create a new form of government after the Articles of Confederation failed to maintain a strong and stable government. From the day the Constitution was put into place, it has been added to by other laws and amendments which add strength between what the people, the federal, and state is allowed to do with some exceptions of the law. For more than 200 years, the Constitution has helped the United States of America to maintain stability even during the tough times of war and peace.

    The United States Constitution is one of the shortest, longest standing, and most ambiguous constitutions in the world. This document establishes a democratic republic of many states under one federal government. In outlining the responsibilities and powers of each branch of the government and how they relate to state governments, many questions are left unanswered. Though this constitution outlines legislation’s role fairly clearly, it is far too vague concerning executive and judicial roles and the relationship between state and federal government.…

    To begin with I agree to disagree with this question because all though Nixon has failed his country he is still human and no human is perfect or should ever be expected to be perfect. As Nixon being president he has a lot of expectations and choices to make to either better the country or destroy the country. He is ultimately in control and maybe it caused a burden on him into making the choices and had made. Each individual can look at it from different angles to tell if he made the right choices dealing with the water gate. If he chooses to make the wrong choices knowing exactly what he was doing then he ultimately deserves all the negative feedback from the people of the United States because him being the President at the time he should have been making the best choices for the country.…
