Impeached: Andrew Jackson And Richard Nixon

Richard Nixon’s involvement in the Watergate scandal left no doubt to his involvement of being impeached. During the Nixon Administration, he was able to prevent colleges from being gender biased and allowing both male and female to have equal opportunity and receiving financial aid as well as competing in sports. He was able to establish the Environmental Protection Agency. He also worked to create a relationship between the U.S and the Middle East. Unfortunately, even with all of the accomplishments, he was able to have, everyone will remember Richard Nixon as the president who was involved in the Watergate scandal. The Watergate scandal left an asterisk by his legacy while being in the office, the results left him with having to resign and with him facing criminal charges as well, the Scandal became well known to the public in the summer of 1974. Through my essay, I will discuss why I am intrigued by the Watergate scandal, and discuss what if Richard Nixon never got caught on the audio tape?

For the first time in the United States History, President Andrew Johnson, was the first sitting president to be impeachment from office. President Johnson was sworn into office after President Lincoln was assassinated. Like former President Lincoln, Johnson, felt that the country should have been ran by the white man. In fact, Johnson wanted to carry out former President Lincoln’s leniency more. Shortly after becoming president, President Johnson granted wholesome pardons to the ex-confederates. Allowing the Former confederates the right to have slaves in every way but call them slaves. The Confederate states forcing the slaves to sign year long contracts or face forced enslavement. They called this “The Black Codes,” which controlled the

Andrew Jackson was elected as President of the United States because the American people saw him as a man for the people. His leadership during the Battle of New Orleans gave him the respect of wealthy businessmen, and his worker roots gain the support of those who were struggling to carve their own a comfortable and suitable position. The duty of the President is to watch over the people by vetoing bills, making treaties, enforcing the nation’s laws, and is the Commander-in-Chief of the armed forces. President Andrew Jackson should not have been impeached because he did all these things for the good of the people. All of his actions and parts he played in bank wars, nullification crisis, and native american removal were constitutional. Overall

What kind of person commits three major violations of the national law and gets away with it? Well that person is Nixon. President Richard Nixon was one of the most famous presidents in the United States. He was mainly renowned for his huge role in the Watergate scandal. The Watergate scandal was important because Nixon and his cabinet arranged to get people to spy on the Democratic National Committee in the Watergate building. After it became clear Nixon was responsible, he manages to resign before he was going to be impeached. President Nixon was involved with the Watergate scandal and should be sentenced to jail because he organized it, which then got leaked out and finally led to his resignation.

Richard M. Nixon and Lyndon B. Johnson were presidents during one of the most troubled periods in our American history. Both held on with significant social unrest and the question of whether to continue participation in the Vietnam War. Even though both Nixon and Johnson faced similar problems while in office, their style and approach to problems was profoundly different. Even so, Johnson and Nixon shared a disposition to bluff the public and their fellow colleagues in order to pursue what they wanted to do. No matter if it was wrong. .

Imagine being forced out of your homes with thousands of other people by ruthless soldiers that threaten you at bayonet point to leave your beloved household with nothing but the clothes on your back. The soldiers lead you and many others thousands of miles into unknown territory where they force you to stay. You hear some people have rebelled… and were killed. This is what President Andrew Jackson did to many Native American tribes approximately 150 years ago. There were many Presidents in the history of the United States, both good and bad, but few have achieved the great infamy of Andrew Jackson, for he was known as ¨Indian Killer¨ and ¨Sharp Knife¨. Although he can be considered a great president, he has committed many treacherous acts. Jackson was one of the worst presidents of The United States because he mur the Native Americans, he had a unquenchable temper that killed many people in duels, and he caused inflation with the nation’s money.

Only one U.S. president has been censured by the United States Senate and this was Andrew Jackson for what the senate believed to be abuse of presidential power during the Bank War. Andrew Jackson should be removed from the $20 bill. While Jackson was the 7th president of the united states and a national war hero after defeating the British in New Orleans during the War of 1812 he got rid of a whole government program because it didn't go along with his viewpoints. In 1816 the second bank of the United States was created five years after the First bank's charter expired. The bank had been run by a board of directors with ties to industry and manufacturing, however Jackson disagreed with the ways that the federal money was being spent as well

The presidencies of Bill Clinton and Andrew Johnson were unusual compared to all the rest. Clinton and Johnson were both impeached by the U.S Representatives, but were never kicked out of office by the Senate. However the two impeachments were similar and different in many ways.

With the assassination of President Lincoln, the presidency fell upon an old-fashioned southerner named Andrew Johnson. Although an honest and honorable man, Andrew Johnson was one of the most unfortunate Presidents. Over time there has been a controversial debate as to whether Johnson deserved to be impeached, or if it was an unconstitutional attempt by Congress to infringe upon the president's authority. The impeachment of Andrew Johnson was politically motivated. The spirit of the Jacksonian democracy inspired Andrew Johnson. In 1857, Johnson was then elected to represent Tennessee in the US Senate. "While serving in the Senate, Johnson became an advocate of the Homestead Bill, which was opposed by most Southern Democrats and their

Andrew Jackson and Henry Clay came from very similar backgrounds, yet they considered each other total opposites in regard to politics and morals. Both men became the leaders of two political parties: The Democrats, headed by Jackson, and the Whigs, headed by Clay. The main topics of debate between Jackson, Clay and their respective parties focused their arguments on the core principals of Clay’s American system, which were subsidies for internal improvements, protective tariffs and most importantly, the National Bank. The two men also had different ways of handling the Nullification Crisis. The debates of these two men impacted the still young nation by bringing up the struggles between democracy and development.

The Watergate Scandal was the downfall of Richard Nixon. It made Americans put less trust in the government and built trust in the media. It all takes place at the Watergate Hotel. He led an extremely corrupt administration to get him re elected. He also was the first President to resign. The unethical organization that was formed was called the CRP (later creep). They helped Nixon get re elected in 1972. They used illegal tactics to get him re elected. They paid lawyers for the burglars who broke into the Watergate Hotel. These people were known as the Plumbers. That was directed by John Ehrlichman. They were the White House investigation unit. They prevented information leak and burglarize any of Nixon reveals. Watergate seven was Richard Nixon closest comrades. They were in charge of the Creep and the plumbers that carried out many illegal activities. Christ the Transformer of Business culture is a good trait to obtain. “These people are intimately involved with those in the business, but their distinctive Christian standards are not lost” (Ruddell, 2004, p. 40). The people that were involved in the Watergate scandal should have had this trait.

Andrew Jackson: the common man or the first king of America? He is viewed by history in many different ways, some see him as the man who granted universal white male suffrage, created a more democratic way to elect electoral voters to congress and replaced caucuses with national nominating conventions; and others, who saw past this false representation and saw how in his eight years in office, he vetoed 12 bills, forced Native Americans from their homeland, ignored supreme court decisions and let his personal life affect his presidential decisions. Jackson, as captured in his portrait in the National Portrait gallery was a stern man with a strong sense of self-reliance. And while these qualities can be seen as

In the course of the history of the United States of America, many great men have made their mark. The list of these men becomes ever shorter as the scope is narrowed to those who served as president. Two men in contention for such recognition are presidents Thomas Jefferson and Andrew Jackson. Whether or not they are considered great is subjective, but there is a convincing amount of evidence that might sway one’s opinion. Based on their policies, actions, and outcomes as president, neither Jefferson nor Jackson can be considered great presidents.

Richard Nixon, though created a large credibility gap within the US, he accomplished a lot for the country. He served five years in the presidential office as a republican (1969-1974), and he was the only president to resign from office in history. Although through his presidency he had accomplished many things, such as creating revenue sharing, ending the draft, and creating anticrime laws, he still had a rough time rebuilding his reputation after many assumptions of corruption in his office. Though he never admittedly pledged guilty to his crimes of taking government funds for his own personal gain, there was proof that he was. After the Watergate scandal, the American people set their mind to believe what the proof led to, so Nixon’s

Scandal! I am not a crook, Watergate, impeachment, resignation, one final “two handed V”; which president comes to mind? President Richard M. Nixon was a visionary leader; but an unethical leader. This paper will examine two visionary leadership traits of President Nixon, two unethical leadership skills of Nixon and then look to my own career for two personal examples of visionary and two unethical leadership skills I portrayed. Nixon’s visionary leadership was on display when it came to dealing with Communist countries and recession on the home front. By using the full range leadership (FRL) process of contingent reward, Nixon focused relations with China to establish common political grounds. Using cognitive adaptability, Nixon was able to reign in the 1970’s recession. He applied FRL tactics to push his agenda towards politics and economic policy. But, Nixon’s unethical leadership trait, drive for success, led to the Watergate Scandal. Also, he failed to use the reasoning element of implication when he discharged the Special Prosecutor of the Watergate investigation. After discussing President Nixon’s visionary but unethical leadership, I’ll apply these same principles to myself by showing examples of how I used contingent reward and cognitive adaptability techniques in my Air Force career. Finally, I’ll discuss how drive for success
