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.

Barack Hussein Obama Jr, the first African American President of the United States, was born on August the 4th 1961 in Honolulu, Hawaii. Obama’s birth is considered as an important turning point for African American’s in history, he was the first African American to serve as a United States president. Barack Obama is currently the 44th president of the United States. He was raised in a middle class family with education being the core of their lives and had very noble values.

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.

When people vote for the President of the United States every 4 years, some of the key qualities they look for include strong leadership, strong relations with the public and someone who is able to handle both domestic and international challenges. Ever since our founding fathers wrote the Constitution in the summer of 1787, the American people have looked to the president to lead the public in the right direction and to provide strong leadership in times of crisis and war. Of course, a president’s governing style varies and is usually dependent on the times. For instance, President Bill Clinton was both a “director of change” who led others where they would otherwise not go and a “facilitator of change” who helped others go where they would want to go anyways. As a matter of fact, Clinton was inclined to partake in both of these governing styles, since he initially learned from the painful experience of being the least popular president in the history of polling during his 100 days of office. For this reason, his governing style aimed towards gaining the approval of the public so that he could engage in leadership by facilitation. In particular, this multi-faceted governing style was greatly utilized during his reelection campaign in 1995 and 1996. During those years, Clinton used pollsters to survey voters on various domestic policies that might’ve been of particular interest to them. Once Clinton identified which domestic policies were of highest interest to the voters,

In November 2008, Democratic Presidential Candidate Barak Obama became the first African-American President to the United States. He had coined the word “change” to his first campaign, insuring Americans that if he were elected there would be “change”. Through two-terms the Obama Administration has demonstrated the most controversial change of all, the passage of the Affordable Care Act, a health reform law enacted in March of 2010. With many flaws evident in the roll out of the Affordable Care Act, we can now question should the President and Congress repeal it and start over from scratch, as many GOP members and critics have suggested; or should all parties attempt to fix the evident flaws through bi-partisan negotiation and action

The President of the United States is often referred to as the most powerful person in the world. This position offers presidents a unique opportunity to reach a large audience and to command its attention. Presidents frequently use this advantage as a “bully pulpit” to persuade citizens and to vote for favored legislation.

In 1787 our founding fathers believed that that the general population was not educated enough to select the president of the United State (Bronson, K and Dove, L 2015). This was one of the concerns our founders had when the wrote the Article II, section 1 of our constitution which laid out the framework for the electoral college process that we use still to this day. An article by Bronson, and. Dove” stated that the Electoral College provided security to concerns that the governing people had in this era of our nation’s history to ensure a viable election process, such as the unlikelihood that a candidate would have a national presence amongst the general public.”(2015). Due to the vast geographic distances candidates would not be able to appeal their platforms to the people since there was no televisions or radios throughout the country. The founding fathers even feared that the more populous states would force their influence on the less populate states making the popular voting process not viable to receive the true will of the people(Bronson,K and Dove, L page 1, para 2). These concerns where ligament in that society and era of our nation’s history and the Electoral College process gave security. With key transformations that have accord in our society, such concerns are less prominent. The Electoral College Process no longer protects us from concerns of the past, but directly effects new problems in our current society The Electoral College denies the will of the

As president, Eisenhower adopted a style of leadership that emphasized the delegation of authority. He filled his cabinet with successful corporate executives whose gave his administration a businesslike tone. Eisenhower’s first priority was to balance the budget of deficit spending.
