Pros And Cons Of Being A President Of The United States

There are many pros and cons to being president, some pros are near limitless power, and are paid $400,000 per year in office, with an extra $50,000 provided for personal expenses. In addition, the commander in chief has his own dedicated medical staff, the use of Air Force One that has 4,000 square feet of floor space and sophisticated equipment necessary to serve as a command center. Since it can refuel midair, it can remain airborne as long as needed. Marine One, that can cruise at more than 150 mph and can operate if one of its engines fails. Marine One is armed with anti-missile systems and ballistic armor. The White House and the presidential limousine also known as “The Beast” which President Obama described as “a Caddy, basically on a tank

The United States has had numerous presidents varying in political parties, beliefs, and ethical values. And in a country as diverse in race, religion, and culture as the U.S. is, it does not come as surprise that the country has yet to elect a president in which everyone supports. Every president has their flaws and every action of the White House is controversial and scrutinized. Martin Luther King Jr. once said “The ultimate measure of a man is not of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy”. With every presidency comes controversies which can define the legacy of that president and their impact on the country. Following more present day presidencies, President Donald Trump’s executive order on immigration is an extremely controversial topic around the world right now. Using an executive order President Trump has temporarily banned travel from seven countries.

President Trump has been attacking NFL players who have protested against oppression of people of color by kneeling during the National Anthem. In doing this, he has been suppressing the natural rights of the NFL and its players. The Declaration of Independence states, “... they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness” (Jefferson 1). Natural Rights are given to everyone at birth and cannot be taken away. Henceforth, the president has been restraining the rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness from the NFL.

I am glad that Donald Trump has become the President of the United States, and have reasoning for it. First of all, he won the Electoral College. Many people seem to think that because Hillary Clinton got the popular vote. I feel that this is very weak evidence, because the 12th amendment states, “The Twelfth Amendment (Amendment XII) to the United States Constitution provides the procedure for electing the President and Vice President”. So saying that she won the popular vote doesn’t solve anything, because a whole amendment debunks that. Another reason I have is that even though Clinton has had more experience, that does not make her more fitting. For instance, she said she would create 200,000 jobs as Senator, but did not create a single

On January 27th, President Trump issued an executive order banning entry of citizens from seven Muslim majority countries: Iraq, Syria, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and Yemen. Although public opinion appears largely negative; I believe the “Muslim Ban” fits in to traditional American political culture due to previous issues that have divided our nation. America has a long history of creating a largely positive influence on the world. However, America also utilized slavery, displaced Native Americans, and denied Jew’s refuge during WWII. Looking back on these controversial events makes the right thing to do seem so obvious.

“Greetings USA. This is Clark Kid, of the DC Review, bringing you the latest in important news from anywhere and everywhere on our planet.”

A week following his inauguration, President Trump published Executive Order 13769 barring travel, visa issuance, and immigration from a few Muslim majority nations. The Executive Order outlines the Trump administration’s position “In order to protect Americans, the United States must ensure that those admitted to this country do not bear hostile attitudes toward it and its founding principles.” (The White House, par. 4). The first Executive Order includes the following countries Libya, Sudan, Syria, Iraq, Iran, Yemen, and Somalia barring travel and migration to the United States. Following two

The Trump Administration has no obligation, therefore; victims would do well to continue pressure on county. Furthermore; faith based institutions can help. In addition, Governor Brown, a stout liberal can dig in the state treasury. He seems to take an provocative stance on sanction and immigration and lack skill of discrimination. Barack Obama failed and allowed scores of refugees not limited to radical Muslims into our country. The suffering on December 02, 2015 disconcerting, however; named as a soulless hack a bit harsh for someone unknown. A bit of background would hone your skill prior to an insult. So, here it is. The Japanese capitulated on August 15, 1945, and when liberated the Dutch were held hostage. In our case, six years

Obama should be allowed to pick a Supreme Court nominee. I don't see how the Senate can stop him. He is not doing anything wrong or anything he shouldn't be doing. The Senate just doesn't want another democratic person on the Supreme Court, although that still doesn't make it right to stop the president from doing his job. Also this is the first time this has ever happened in history so, why would they think it's right. Not only are they denied him to pick someone they aren't even allowing hearings to happen for these people. They won't even talk about it to the president. They would rather wait and not allow the Supreme Court to do its job. Additionally Senator Mitch McConnell would rather wait until the next president and have them choose

As you are keenly aware, on November 9th, 2016, Mr. Trump was elected the 45th President-Elect of the United States of America, and on January 20th, 2017 was sworn in for a four year term as the 45th President of the United States. With Republican majorities in both the United States House of Representatives as well as the United States Senate, the President has laid out a strong agenda on everything from immigration and national security to trade and regulatory reform. While this bold plan of action is not perfect, and there may potentially be areas where I disagree with my colleagues and the President, it is a plan that I am enthusiastic to delve into as our unified Republican government gets to work on behalf of the American people.

President-elect Donald J. Trump on Tuesday tempered some of his most extreme campaign promises, dropping his vow to jail Hillary Clinton, expressing doubt about the value of torturing terrorism suspects and pledging to have an open mind about climate change.

Over the last several years our country has been dealt many unpleasant situations, and has had many unpleasant situations trust upon it. From school shootings, to Isis and all the troubling situations in-between, we have dealt with quit a bit as a nation. But in my opinion, president Obama is at the forefront of many issues facing Americans today. He has continuously defiled the American constitution, kept secret agendas not in the favor of the American public and led this country like a ballerina managing a steel mill. With his mounting entitlement programs, his push to raise the minimum wage, and Obama care, we can’t endure much more. We are currently $16.85 trillion dollars in debt and that number is only rising, in addition, according to an ABCnews/Washing post survey, his approval rating is at an all time low of 40%. He is America’s

The title President of the United States is a highly sought after title that has a history of gaining much attention from the media. The 2016 Presidential race is proving to be no different. With more than 8 months left until the primaries begin, candidates are proclaiming their intent to run and the media has taken a front row seat. Currently, there is only one Democratic nominee and while this candidate may be seen to receive more media attention than all of the Republican candidates combined, she is the only one in the race. The focus then turns to how each media outlet is reporting the tight race between the three current Republican nominees: Ted Cruz, Rand Paul, and Marco Rubio. From our studies in class, we are predisposed to believe

With the presidential inauguration just days away, the second part of this Chinese proverb highlights the most disconcerting part of our recent election. Trump’s win implies that over half of our compatriots were truly looking for this kind of change, and personally I find that quite troubling. Not only because my friends who are illegal immigrants, females who face losing their current reproductive rights, or LGBT face an – to say the least – uncertain future; what is most worrying to me is how Trump found himself waiting to be sworn into the most powerful appointment in the free world. His long road to the oval office began decades ago, with the globalization of our

First, do you really want the same president to be president for 8 years in a row? The right candidate for president he or she would be running the state very smoothly. I found some evidence from a website called Theweek.com. They said, “that in the 2012 election about 57.5 percent of citizens who can vote cast ballots.” While 37.4 percent of the electorate voted. Some people don’t really care about who the president is.
