Presidency of George W. Bush

The Presidency has several ways of bypassing Congress that are upheld by courts to certain extents. For over 70 years the US presidents have repeatedly used these methods to put forward agreements that benefit the country and have less chance to get done if done with the Senate’s approval mainly because of the collective action problems Congress, especially the Senate, faces. In 2015, the current President, Barack Obama, signed the Paris Agreement on climate change that requires countries to…

Reagan though was able to start off his presidency by increasing the power of the president. He was able to do this by a military means first with the military order of the invasion of Grenada. Reagan authorized this order as a means of protecting national interests and preventing the spread of…

research in November 1998. When George W. Bush became president he received immense pressure to ban the funding and research for stem cell research, and it led him to ban the proposed funding for the research.

When United States military troops were first deployed in Afghanistan in 2001, under George W. Bush, until the end of Bush’s presidency, we lost 630 soldiers. Since Barack Obama has come into power in 2009, over 1,600 American troops have been killed (West).

Instead, the rising death tolls are directly related to the Obama administration cracking down on the military ROEs, or rules of…

With the help of the National Security Council, Department of State, Department of Defense, Department of Commerce, Department of Agriculture, and intelligence agencies.
