President of the United States

Our first president, George Washington’s, birth took place on February 22, 1732. Washington’s original birth place was in Pope’s Creek in Westmoreland County, Virginia. Washington's birthday is strenuous to figure out because he was born twenty years before the introduction to the calendar. Americans honor Washington's day of birth the Monday before his actual birthday. When Washington was eleven his father, Augustine Washington, died leaving most of the property to George’s older brothers.…

Is it possible for a man to have made such an impact on not only the United States of America, but the entire world as a whole in which his influence still lives on to this day?

Yet presidents since Franklin Roosevelt have wielded greater power than ever before due to the expansion of their staff, the public’s expectations of the president, a weakened congress, and technological changes. Our last two presidents, George Bush and Barack Obama, have faced widespread criticism for their “imperial” actions which can put them over the law and allow them pseudo legislative…

On June 17, 1972, several months before President Nixon was reelected, burglars had broken into the Democratic National Committee offices in Washington, D.C.

George Washington chose neutrality when England and France were ready to destroy not only each other but the allies as well. Woodrow Wilson, the 28th president, took a page out of George Washington’s book over 100 years later. When Europe was fighting in the First World War, Woodrow Wilson had a difficult decision to make regarding the future of the United States. Though…

The Presidency is arguably the most fascinating, and complex element of the American political system; due in part to the constitutional ambiguity that surrounds the office. Often, the people, the President, and the Constitution all have varying expectations about the role and duties of the presidency.

On inauguration day, he was 46 years old, making him the third-youngest person to hold the oval office. His prior political experience was time as a governor and as the Attorney General for the state. The United States has just finished the Gulf War. He was elected on campaign promises that focused on fixing domestic issues.…
