President Clinton Vs. The 104th And 105th Congress

Throughout the history of the presidency there has been four types of veto that have arose. Two of these vetoes are specifically mentioned in the constitutions while the other two have been found unconstitutional by the Supreme Court. The first type of veto mentioned in the constitution is the regular veto, this veto allows the President to not sign a bill into law, but instead return it to the division of congress it originated from. This process must happen within ten days (excluding Sundays). The regular veto is the only type that can be overturned by congress with a 2/3 vote. The second veto mentioned in the constitution is the pocket veto. This veto allows the President the opportunity to veto a bill without congress being able to overturn it. The process of the pocket veto consist of the President simply not signing the veto during the ten day window, but this only works if congress is out of session. If congress is in session and the President fails to sign the bill in the ten day window then the bill will become a law. The regular and pocket veto are the only two type of vetoes that are construed constitutional. The other two types of vetoes have been found to be unconstitutional. The first of these is the Legislative veto. The Legislative veto allowed congress to

The president and Congress have a history of conflict. An early example of this was Andrew Johnson’s actions soon after taking office. He vetoed two bills, both of which benefitted blacks. Congress responded to this by overriding his veto of the Civil Rights Act of 1866. Congressmen also passed the 14th Amendment and three Reconstruction acts. Johnson and the Radical Republicans strongly disagreed about the path that Reconstruction in the South should take. In November of 1867, the House Committee on the Judiciary voted to send articles of impeachment to the House, but the report was rejected. However, in February of 1868 Johnson dismissed Edwin Stanton, Secretary of War. This violated the Tenure of Office Act, which would have required

In this essay, I will be writing about how the power relationship between the United States Congress and the presidency has changed during the past two hundred years. I will be talking about how the executive branch is more powerful than the legislative branch and how the changing relationship between Congress and the president affected American democracy in a good way.

In the 105th Congress, the House of Representatives consisted of 227 members from the Republican Party, 207 members from the Democratic Party, and one member who was Independent but sided with the Democrats (Congressional Pictorial Directory). With the fifty-two percent Republican majority, as long as all 227 Republicans voted for the counts of impeaching Clinton, no Democratic votes would be needed. This proved to be the

In 1992, William Clinton ran for President on the democratic ticket. His thoughts for the country were to create many jobs, lower taxes for the middle class, and help national health insurance. Although many people attacked him about an incident when he evaded military service and then tried to cover it up, he won the run and choose Senator Al Gore as his vice-president. He beat Republican Bush and Independent party Perot. President Clinton would be reelected again and he would have many issues while in his last term (DeGregorio 3).

Some might say that Bill Clinton was a bas president because he was a prison -loving president. he locked away to many people that did not do anything. But president Bill Clinton was a good president because he put America first and wanted to make America a better place for everyone. Bill Clinton is most remembered for his sec scandal with Monica Lewinsky a white house intern at the time. I choose Bill Clinton because I found some of the thing he did cool and how Education was a priory of his. I have learned a lot by writing this essay about Bill Clinton and the

Bush presidency. For starters the Americans with Disability act not only provides protection for the disabled in different sectors of their lives such as jobs, transportation and even public life but it guaranteed equal opportunities for individual regardless of your race, sex, religion and more. Another huge legislative accomplishment was the passage of the Clean Air Act making it one of the initial influential laws on protecting our environment and specifically taking responsibility as a nation for our waste and pollution. The Radiation Exposure Compensation Act which served as a sense of accountability and ultimately aid to those exposed to ration caused by nuclear test was also passed during his Presidency along with the Immigration Act that led to a 40 percent increase in legal immigration. He even fought Congress to provide a bill that would help cops apprehend delinquents and a law that would improve the highways in the United States. On top of those major amendments Bush pushed for an increase in several budgets such as education, childcare and the advancement of technology and research in the field. (Sinclair 2002)

He cared more about the impact of an idea rather than the intellectual characteristic of the idea. He is even praised by one Thatcher, a respected leader of her time as having good ideas (Gergen, 2002). The authors describes Clinton as one of the smartest presidents but who did a lot of dumb things. He was the president of contradictions.

Our initial question asks why the President is the dominant force in foreign policy making within the U.S. government? A corollary is to ask whether or not the President should be the dominant force in foreign policy. This is an ongoing debate and tension between the Executive and Legislative Branches. First, we should understand that, under our current President, there is strong opinion that he should not be the dominant force for foreign policy. There are at least two opposing points of view regarding the role of the President and foreign policy. If one favors the Executive Branch, one takes the position that the Executive is better able to respond quickly and efficiently to changing conditions in world politics. If one favors the Legislative Branch, one takes the position that the Legislative is better able to consider, review, deliberate, and debate various points of view before deciding what course of action would best serve the interests of the entire nation.

Clinton impressed people with the idea of a family man in office. He was focused and charismatic. Better economy was what the American people wanted so that is what his goal was. During his reign he went through more scandals and controversies than any other president. He was impeached, yet despite all, he was loved by America. Our economy prospered and we had better diplomatic relations. The American people wanted change for the better and so they elected William Jefferson Clinton for their forty-second president of the United States of America.

“Bankruptcy doesn’t discriminate: in 2001, almost one in five Americans from ages 18 to 24 declared bankruptcy…”(Walsh).

Over the years, the process of declaring bankruptcy has become incredibly simple. Because of this change, the number of people declaring bankruptcy is at an all time high. Today, bankruptcy is a common thing among companies and individuals alike. The American bankruptcy law allows people to avoid paying their debts by offering the debtors a discharge without a harsh consequence. By not having repercussions for their actions, bankruptcy filers often plan future bankruptcies, allowing them to steal even more money from creditors with no punishment. There are 13 different chapters in the bankruptcy system with the principal chapters being 7,11, and 13. You can only file for bankruptcy under these three chapters, the others are there to
