George H. Bush was the 41st President of the United States of America. His Vice President was Dan Quayle, who was a senator from Indiana. He was only President for one term and at the 1993 election he lost to Bill Clinton, but while president Bush helped the country in many ways while he was in office. In July of 1991 President Bush tried to help the relationship between the United States and the Soviet Union by meeting with the Soviet President, Mikhail Gorbachev. There they signed the…
It is important to be an effective intercultural communicator to some degree. An effective intercultural communicator is able to share information across different cultures and different groups. They have to communicate in a way that is appropriate and effective to different cultures (Johnson, Lenartowicz, & Apud, 2006, p. 529). The United States is becoming more and more culturally diverse by the day. Most people would think that politicians are great at intercultural communication because of…
Using the Hawaii Supreme Court’s decision can count as a satisfactory point in which the law to discuss became into being. While the history goes back much farther in this case, prior to 1991, the final decision by the court begins in 1993, where they found it unconstitutional for the state of Hawaii to deny same-sex couples the right to marry (Baehr v. Lewin, 1993). In this instance, the Hawaii Supreme Court relied on a perspective of equal protection, rather than due process, to justify…
how he supports her and that she would be better off winning than Trump. Some people discussed how they felt Clinton was up to no good because she supported some of her husband bad ways when he was president. One of the professors talked about how Bill Clinton came up with a “3 strike” law and it basically stated that once you get locked up for a third time you must stay in jail. The arrest rates were high, more polices were on the streets, and a lot of money were going into creating more jails…
are, the president can veto a bill but congress can override the veto. Congress can remove a president or a Supreme Court justice with a valid accusation of the individual and trial. The legislative not only have the power to override and create laws but they all show to represent the people with their…
The Keystone XL Pipeline affects much more than just the oil industry. Many groups fear that the Pipeline would cause the United States to increase its dependence on foreign oil. In addition to the numerous environmental concerns, such as oil spills and water contamination, there is concern about the “current eminent domain laws and federal and state regulations will manage the pipeline’s construction.” In January of 2014, the United States Department of the State issued an executive summary…
of a universal savings account and an increase in the size of the military. Obviously not all of these ideas transpired due to the roadblock of Congress. From researching these topics, it became clear that congress is not likely to pass stand-alone bills but when they are worked into larger legislation they are much more likely to make it through. Obama asked Congress to send him legislation to put a cap on carbon emotions and pollution that would lead toward the greater manufacture of clean…
decided to cut funds to state resource centers that aided prisoners by supplying lawyers and even be present during death row executions. However, probably the most ruthless thing done to show toughness on crime, was when Clinton passed the “Crime Bill” that harshly punished crime instead of providing a useful way of preventing it. This led to a extended death penalty among a number of criminal offenses throughout the country. Much like Reagan and Bush, Clinton was also really only concerned…
In addition to the direct failures of the intervention, we can learn a great deal about the American failure through the consequences of Somalia. Domestic politics drives foreign policy, and in the case of Somalia, the domestic backlash sheds light on what was a step in the wrong direction for security as seen through Presidential Decision Directive 25. After the tragedy of the battle of Mogadishu and Black Hawk Down, President Clinton was facing mounting domestic pressure to ‘bring the boys…
same way they saw Clinton. The many scandals Clinton became wrapped up in prevented the people from continuing to want a Democrat in the White House and especially not one like Gore who had been around when the scandals unfurled. In the eyes of some, Bill Clinton was a liability for Gore, if Clinton’s presidency was viewed as unsuccessful or if Gore reminded people in any way of the scandals of Clinton then Clinton essentially diminished Gore’s…
