Presidential Election Pros And Cons

In the 2016 election, the two candidates running for President are: Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump. Many people voting in this year's election are wanting someone different, someone who can get their points across. People are wanting someone who says, and will, make a difference in the world. America is filled with many disagreements and issues, especially on security as in NSA Surveillance; they also have issues on terrorists, and how they interrogate and torture them.

Our country has had quite a few Presidents in its day and with that come the good and the bad. Now, not all Presidents are either purely good or bad. There are some that mostly bad with a bit of good while others can be mostly good with a hint of bad. Now, no man is perfect by any means but there are a few Presidents that have done fantastic while in office and that have been a purely beneficial factor for our country.

Should the President of the United States have to be born on United States soil?

The nation has been evenly divided between Donald Trump, who is calling for dictatorial control of the country with massive tax breaks to the top 1%, and Hillary Clinton, who is calling for tax breaks for the middle class.

In opposition to most states, Texas is one of a handful to do partisan elections to vote for judges. Contrasting viewpoints try to decide on whether the voting system should be partisan or nonpartisan bringing much debate in the election of the judicial candidates. Some argue the system should change because of possible bias both by the electorate and of the judge, others contend it is necessary to know what party the judges affiliate with in order to know what way they lean may lean in their final judgement. Many arguments bring to light the benefits and drawbacks of each system, critiquing the justness, dependability, and impartiality.

The first issue that Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton disagree on is abortion. Let us take a look at Mr. Trump’s position on this topic. He is quoted as saying, “Public funding of abortion providers is an insult to people of conscience at the least and an affront to good governance at best” (Trump). He believes that “life is the most fundamental right.” Donald Trump actively opposes Planned Parenthood and disapproves of using government funds to pay for abortions. He is opposed to abortion except for rape, incest, and in cases where the life of the mother may be compromised. He would like to defund Planned Parenthood and make abortions illegal at 20 weeks unless the life of the woman is in danger by signing into law the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act.

The Electoral College has been very promising by continuously doing what it was made to do.. The Electoral College comes with its pros and cons. People want to keep the Electoral College and others want it gone. The Electoral College should be maintained for the future elections, because it has provided much help for many elections.

The electoral college was a system that was invented to help our country get a fair system to elect the president. This system provides the best way to have the majority of the Americans be happy with the decision of who is elected as president. It does that by coming at the election from multiple different sides. The electoral college prevents corruption and makes sure that the people that are going into office are qualified. This way people from foreign countries that have no idea what our country’s issues are and they always have our country's best interests at heart. Also the electoral college makes sure that the people going into office aren’t stupid and have some idea of what they need to be doing to lead our country to success.

The number of electoral votes decided for each state are based on the number of electors each state is entitled to represent a state in the Senate and House of Representatives known as Congress. The state of North Carolina has fifteen electoral votes and those electoral votes were won by presidential candidate Mitt Romney (winning 50.39%) in the 2012 election. It is understood that the Electoral College has some positive attributes to include maintaining divisions of power between the three branches of government, it promotes a two-party system and allows minority and interest groups to be represented. Unfortunately on the negative side this voting system does not reflect the popular vote of the people, it discourages third parties and then

The 2016 presidential election was an example of the discrepancy between the Electoral College votes and the national popular votes. If the last presidential election had been decided by a national popular vote, then Hillary Clinton would have won the presidency because she had the majority of votes. However, due to the design of the Electoral College, Donald Trump won the election for president in 2016; although, he lost the national popular vote. Just as some people questioned the effectiveness of the Electoral College during some of the previous elections, several people questioned the effectiveness of the Electoral College again in 2016. The debate about whether the Electoral College should be kept or

In 2000, the Presidential election was between George W. Bush and Al Gore. After a reverification of the votes tallied in Florida, it had showed that Al Gore had won the popular vote but George W. Bush had won the Electoral Vote. In 2012, Al Gore had gone public with his loss and had suggested that the United States eliminate the use of the Electoral College. He brought up both pros and cons of the system but overall he was not distressed about the situation. As complex as the Electoral College is, there are many pros and cons of the system.

Take two minutes of your life to learn about another option for the November election.

Hillary Clinton campaigned on a platform emphasizing women’s equality and healthcare, fair immigration reform, and manufacturing made in America which promotes job creation. While Donald Trump made it very clear that his campaign and platform prioritized America, “Make America Great Again” and “America First” are just some of his popular and patriotic slogans. Unlike Clinton’s, Trump’s position on women’s equality and improving healthcare is quite vague and nearly non-existent on his platform website.

Donald Trump recently gave a speech discussing rising Radical Islamic Terrorism, immigration from the Middle East, and a need for a rise in national security while Manchester, New Hampshire on June 13th 2016. He centers his whole speech around discussing how bad a President his opponent, Hillary Clinton, would be in difficult times. Trump graduated from the Wharton School of Finance in 1968 with a bachelor 's degree in economics, and has become a very successful businessman. He’s the Republican nominee for this upcoming presidential election, and is a very controversial candidate and person. He has come under fire for many of his views that he discusses in his June 13th speech. While Trump does make some agreeably points, he renders his speech ineffective because of his heavy reliance on Clinton’s opinion to form his own. If Trump were to become President, his stance on important issues would need to be reached with careful consideration, and not just based on doing the opposite of his opponents.

Unless you have been living under a rock for the past two years, the United States of America has an election coming up on the eighth of November. This campaign has gotten ugly. There has been fighting, rioting, accusations of improper conduct, and a whole heap of other things between the two political parties. Some people would argue that our country is divided more now than ever in history. On the Democratic side, you have Senator Hillary Clinton. She has the motivation of becoming America’s first female president. Over on the Republican side, you have Donald Trump, a billionaire, real-estate mogul, businessman. These two candidates have two very different backgrounds. Hillary Clinton has been in the political arena since 1976. She was elected to the U.S. Senate in 2001 and was appointed as the U.S. Secretary of State in 2009. Donald Trump, on the other hand, has never held any kind of political office. He got into real-estate in 1971 and has since then made the Trump name synonymous with real-estate development. With their backgrounds being as different as they are, their personalities are just as different.
