It is ambiguous as to how President Barrack Obama shapes our politics in terms of our political regime, but it can be determined through the present outcomes of his leadership today. In The Politics Presidents Make, by Stephen Skowronek, describes that there is a life-cycle of inaugurated presidents through the history of the United States.

Through this, it is possible to determine where President Obama would stand in our political time. Skowronek also mentions four leadership categories in which past presidents are placed in: politics of reconstruction, politics of disjunction, politics of

With the presidential election coming to a close on this Tuesday, November 8th, the research that was gathered in class, allowed a new insight into which candidate was best suited for the job. Each candidate in this election, both have very different view points on each important topic going on in our country today, allowing voters to see the complete complexity of this election. For example, topics including gun control, the pay gap situation and abortion allowed myself, as a voter, to gain knowledge about each candidates position on the topic and which candidate I believed was my ideal one for presidency. In this election, I believe Hilary Clinton is the best candidate for presidency.

This year the presidential elections will take place at the beginning of November, and there are lots of people wondering how this is going to end. Some candidates for these presidential elections may not have been the best choice for their respective parties, but the one that really shouts, “I should not be here” is Mr. Donald Trump. His personality and actions are not the correct ones for a president because of his temper and comments against other cultures. On the other hand, we have Mrs. Clinton who is a more competent candidate; she has more experience on the field of politics than Mr. Trump who has none at all, which are the reasons why she is a better choice as a candidate and as president of the U.S.

American presidential election of 2016 was a few weeks ago, many are scratching their heads following the outcome result. Many, including myself are, asking the question who voted to bring Trump into office? No the better question is who did not vote to keep Trump out of the office. This must have been the same feelings and questions people had in the election of 1968 with Nixon, as the options they were left with to choose was not one of which many were enthused about. Richard Milhous Nixon born on January 9, 1913 in Yorba Linda, California. (Biography.com Editors, paragraph 2) Donald John Trump, born in June 14, 1946, in Queens, New York. Both were one of five Children of their families. (Biography.com Editors, paragraph 2). In both of their of biographies, Nixon attended Duke University and earned a degree in law but Trump attended Wharton School of Finance at the University of Pennsylvania, and graduated with a degree in economics. What lead these two in to politic and clinching the title of the presidency as “Law and Order candidates.

This year’s presidential election has been riddled with controversy and drama. The two presidential nominees, Hillary Clinton, and Donald Trump, each have questionable acts. As voting time approaches and the debates come to an end many individuals must decide who is fit to run the country. By considering their backgrounds, verifying the validity of their policies, and brining into consideration their performance in the debates, a suitable president should be found.

“One may be making a virtuous decision when choosing the lesser of two evils, but one will still find himself stuck with an evil choice.” Many Americans today find themselves in this predicament when concerning the two possible choices for President of the United States. On one hand you have Hillary Clinton who the Federal Bureau of Investigations labeled “careless” and “grossly negligent” in the handling of America's top secret information. To the contrary you have Donald Trump who has said “he would like to ban all muslims”. Both of these examples merely scratch the surface on the quality of these two candidates. Correspondingly many Americans agree that neither Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton are fit to be President of the United States.

Both of the candidates, Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump, have a strong propensity to persuade, so they know how to use social psychology to their own advantages in their quest to achieve the majority of American votes. Clinton referenced her commitment and consistency, as well as reciprocity by mentioning her connection to the middle class when she was growing up. Likewise, Trump cited his commitment and consistency, authority, and was able to instill in the audience a social proof whenever he referenced business throughout the debate. By using her position as Secretary of State, Clinton was also successful at using social proofing and authority when speaking to the audience. Central routes to persuasion are extensively connected to the principles of authority and social proofing, so both candidates used statistics effectively to sound

After 8 years of having Obama as president it is now time to vote for the new leader of our country. We have two very strong candidates who are continuously trying to amuse the hearts of millions of Americans with the goal of obtaining their votes in this year’s presidential election. Our first candidate is a woman named Hillary Clinton who is,” a current democrat, former United States secretary of state, U.S senator from New York, and first lady.” (The 2016 Presidential Candidate’s Political Stances." ISideWith. N.p., n.d. Web. 18 Nov. 2016) We also have the option of voting for Donald Trump “a republican who is a real estate developer, television personnel, and author.” (The 2016 Presidential Candidate’s Political Stances." ISideWith. N.p.,

The president elections are a time where many Americans vote for their favorite candidate, however the upcoming 2016 presidential nomination has gotten controversial. Presidents have been nominated due to their views on policies such as Abraham Lincoln on slavery. However, a lot has been discussed about who’s going to be the elected president this following November, will it be Donald Trump or Hilary Clinton. Hilary Clinton, former secretary of state, has shown persistence since 2008 election, decided to run for office, by hopefully, being the first women president. Donald Trump is a wealthy business man, the C.E.O of the Trump Corporations, has made several controversial statements, such as building the wall between Mexico and the United States and exporting all Muslims out of America. Both have been criticized for their views on what they would do as president. Donald Trump has been targeted as being chauvinist for making racial slurs towards minorities, and Hilary Clinton had a recent scandal in using a private server for communication rather than the official government email provided. However, despite the accusations of Clinton, it may seem she will be the only one fit for the job, since having prior government experience will help her in important. Not only is Clinton the best qualified choice in the 2016 election, but she will also provide the United States with respect and dignity that citizens deserve.

The 2016 Presidential election is getting closer and the two major party nominees are getting ready for the fight of their lives, and not holding back any punches. In the red corner, representing the Republican Party, Donald Trump, the successful business person wants to make America great again. In the blue corner, representing the Democratic Party, Hilary Clinton, the former first lady and Secretary of state is making history as the first female major party Presidential candidate. Both have toured the country in full campaign mode trying to win the heart and vote of the American voters. The 2016 Presidential candidates, Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump, have very different views on debated topics

In a claim that has set a significant degree of precedence for the executive branch, George Washington states, “The Constitution is the guide which I will never abandon.” However, it can be concluded that former President Obama does not share this view of the Constitution. When referencing executive orders, the Constitution states, “He (the president) shall take care that the laws be faithfully executed.” Because there is a great distinction between executing the laws and changing the laws, President Obama usurped the Constitutional powers of Congress.

Hilary Clinton and Donald Trump are the Democratic and Republican candidates, respectively, for president: however, if either one of them wins, it’ll be a disaster for everyone. When Trump first announced his decision to run, most people thought it was a joke; he’s never held any elected office before, and the only thing he’s ran before is his businesses- but that was rather unsuccessfully considering his slew of bankruptcies. Clinton’s often viewed as extremely untrustworthy because of her email scandals and other things she lied about. Both Clinton and Trump supporter’s logic is, well, illogical. Many citizens caught in the middle feel like they have no choice but to vote for the lesser evil, or abstain from voting.

At the conclusion of President Barack Obama’s historical consecutive terms in office there is going to be a large number of candidates that are vying for the nominations of the respective parties. Due to the constitutional term limits imposed on the President, Obama is barred to seek re-election in 2016. While there are about 10 candidates running for the republicans, there are only two still in the running for the Democratic Party. The way candidates are recognized by their respective parties to become a candidate for the United States Presidency is first by receiving an invitation to compete in the primaries, then being included in the nationwide polls, as well as being on the ballot for at least 75% of all states. At the conclusion of the February 1st caucus there were 3 Democrats and 10 republicans who were still in the Presidential race, since then one Democratic candidate had dropped out.
