President Obama 's President Of The United States

Many children grow up being told by their parents, “You can be anything you want to be when you grow up.” Some children dream to be princesses, firefighters, or, if they’re brave enough, President of the United States. Someday these kids will grow up to realize there are limitations, formal and informal, on who run for President. The formal requirements are “No person except a natural born citizen, or a citizen of the United States, at the time of the adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the office of President; neither shall any person be eligible to that office who shall not have attained to the age of thirty-five years, and been fourteen years a resident within the United States” (US Const. art. II sec. 1). Informal

For many years, American Presidents were viewed as being white and powerful leaders. Why were they only white? Is it because Americans felt Blacks were not smart enough to run a country on their own? African Americans were viewed as less dominate people and have been discriminated because of the color of their skin.

Obama was a civil rights attorney, community organizer in Chicago where he helped rebuild communities that was devastated by the closure of the local street plants and a teacher at University of Chicago Law School before pursuing a political career. The time Obama spent helping rebuild the communities he that this time of his life “the best education I ever had, better than anything I got at Harvard Law School” (1). For Obama, he explains that from that experience is what contributed to finding his identity and forming the path that he has taken whilst in the white house. Barack Obama won the election in November 4th 2008 and then took office on January the 20th 2009, these two dates were significant days for America.

President of the United States, a position in government that requires man to be truthful, trustworthy, and proper. A position that is forbidden for wrong, and improper beings such as criminals or law-breakers. In this case however, a man by the name of Abraham Lincoln was given the position not suited for him, and he has misused it to its core. Lincoln denied Habeas Corpus which is one of the many important rights that people have when imprisoned. He has denied the first amendment rights set forth by the constitution by destroying newspaper stands that he deemed were inappropriate, and having citizens arrested for simply standing up for what they believe in. Lincoln also disrupted the checks and balances system by dodging rulings of the Supreme Court whose main power is to keep each branch of the government in its constitutional boundaries. Abraham Lincoln needs to be removed from office due to the violation of the laws that were set forth by the Constitution of the United States.

Reality be known, disobedience of such inequality can lead to hatred and part this union as a whole; when really in order to be stronger we should come together as a whole. Obama strongly uses rhetorical devices in his speech to demonstrate his literal education in response of race equality and relations in the United States of America.
