President of Argentina

However, there were a few weaknesses that took away from the credibility and overall competence of his argument. First of all, though I consider the statistics the president stated to be a strength of his speech, I felt like his lack of citations for his statistics was a downfall. Perhaps he thought the citations were too time consuming, whatever his reasoning, the fact that he didn’t back up his information made the…

cities. Each new president, for the most part, has continued the programs of their predecessors. The naissance of the government’s anti-drug program began under the presidency of Richard Nixon. He set the ball in motion by classifying marijuana as a Schedule 1 drug and by directing his government agencies to target black social activists. President Gerald Ford stoked the flames by pushing for and achieving mandatory minimum sentences for drug related crimes in many states. President Ronald…

to support a president’s social policies or regulations. The US Constitution does not directly state the specifications or limits of executive orders, leaving it up to interpretation. It does, however, state that executive power is vested in the President of the United States and that, “He shall take care that the laws be faithfully executed” (US Const. art. II, sec. 1). Executive order implementations can be nullified by legislation at a later date if declared unconstitutional, but until then…

Presidential success is crucial to the stability and prosperity of a nation. When the president is successful, he is able to persuade the public, make decisions in critical situations, manage the economy successfully and take a lead in setting out policy agendas (Rockman, Waterman, p. 3). External factors, can only limit presidential success when the president fails to demonstrate his presidential skills or use the available resources at his disposal. Therefore, internal factors are most…

This has been one of the most controversial topics that has ever existed in the US. It was so major that the Us Government itself had to step in and confront the situation. In the three branches of government several actions have been put in place. The Judicial Branch displayed a case on abortion and what it was about, ‘Roe v. Wade’, the Executive Branch shows how it treated abortion, and the Legislative Branch brought forward a law that could possibly stop abortion. The judicial branch states…

The Constitution is a living document that holds the basic set-up for the United States’ government and the laws by which citizens should abide. One of the main elements of the Constitution are its focus on the powers to limit the three branches’ powers. Specifically, the legislative branch’s limits are expanded upon greater than the judicial or executive branch. Another element that has grown from the Constitution is the expansion of presidential power due to special circumstances. The other…

Should the Electoral College be abolished? America has used the electoral college for centuries now and maybe it’s time we question whether it’s the right way to elect our nation’s president. Both sides have great points, but ultimately keeping the Electoral College is the right thing to do. Our country has gone through hardships as well as better days with the Electoral College in place and there is no reason to remove it now or in the future. We should keep the Electoral College because it was…

Social Security: Heart of the New Deal On a historic day in Congress, August 14, 1935, President Roosevelt signed the Social Security Act into law. At the time, America’s economy was in shambles, which had led to an extremely high amount of unemployment rates and poverty throughout the country. Despite its goals and hopes to better the economy, it was not met without resistance. Many opposed the New Deal in favor of previously presented plans and many opposed for the belief that it was…

government has its own defined duties and powers in accordance with the principle of separation of powers. The Executive branch consists of the president, vice president, cabinet, and the executive office of the president. The Executive branch has the power to make foreign treaties, as well as “recognize” foreign nations, propose and enforce laws, appoint Supreme Court justices, pardon people who are convicted in federal court, and…

heavy weapons in the cities. To side with Sorely, he does make a slightly good argument suggesting how there is obviously more than one person that had to do with the decisions of the policies and other issues that formed the path of the war. The president was not making decisions all by himself, and even if he did propose an idea, things had to be agreed on among congress and so on. Also another thing he mentions to defend Nixon is the fact that South Vietnam’s armed forces had expanded…
