The Importance Of Being A President In The United States

    Last year when Donald Trump became President of the United States he wanted to build a wall that would seperate the U.S. from Mexico. He wanted to do this to stop any illegal drugs, terrorists, or weapons from crossing the border. Athough it was a good idea, many people were

Some people may believe that having the electoral college takes away the rights and needs of the states, but it does the complete opposite; it allows the president to meet the state’s needs and give them the power that is promised “The Electoral College makes sure that the states count in the presidential elections. As such, it is an important part of our federalist system...”(Document C). Document C shows us that the states are represented and have been represented for centuries due the to system in which certain powers are given to the states in order to keep the federal government in check. Consequently our states rely on the Electoral College to

would win the most votes from a populous state instead of votes from smaller states. Another

All through America's history it always had a presidential election every four years, and last years presidential election campaign there were two leading candidates, so to ensure their victory, they both made promises significant changes, creation. All through last year's campaign, a candidate named Donald J. Trump made several promises, and one of his promises could change the way of life in American. Mr.Trump won last years presidential election, and all eyes were on him to the promise vowed to do if and when he is president. That one promise which is opposed by six in ten Americans is that President Trump promised a 'big, beautiful wall' that would be placed on the Mexican and American border. President Trump Proposed that he could construct the wall for 8 billion, but now it is known that wall will cost about $21.6 billion for the wall and that the $21.6 plan doesn't include the $150 million a year to maintain. America shouldn’t Build a Wall along the US/Mexico Border because of the high cost and how it will affect America's economy, also thought the wall would keep out undocumented immigrant from crossing the US border but it is shown that undocumented immigrants contribute over $11 billion to the US economy each year, and lastly the environment that is near the border, and how it will be affected and disturbed due to the construction the border wall.

In the political world today there are so many different opinions about several different topics. The topics that I will address to you will be, should the 22nd Amendment be repealed and also should the foreign born be allowed to run for president. In both topics you may have your pros and cons, but I am strongly against the both of them because I feel that the Constitution should not be taken advantage of. Government should not be allowed to manipulate the Constitution to suit his or her needs. While making adjustments to the Constitution to allow different things to take place for convenience doesn’t leave any form respect of the Constitution. There should be a line drawn to keep this from happening for years to come on these issues and

The Speaker of the House, Henry Clay endorsed John Quincy Adams in the 1824 election when the vote went to Congress, allowing Adams to win the election (McGee 350). Then, under the “spoils system,” Adams made Clay his Secretary of State, angering Jackson about the corruption in Washington. However, this “corrupt bargain” did bring to attention what Clay had said about the 12th Amendment not giving Congress any direction on how they should elect a president when it comes to that (McGee 352). So I propose that we should not only reform the Electoral College system but also ratify the 12th Amendment and either give Congress more guidance or take it out of Congress’s hands

The fact that a candidate running for president could win as low as one-third of the electoral votes could win the presidency should concern the majority of Americans (Kimberling). This would cause a great divide within the country, with the person becoming commander in chief not having even one half of the nation's support. A second way a

Activists and politicians alike have argued that the popular vote of the people should determine the President. However, more than 700 attempts to revise the constitution and do away with Electoral College have been denied. It is argued that if it was a direct vote then give power to individual states and put them on the Presidential campaign trail. “It takes 270 electoral votes out of 538 total votes in the college to win the presidency. That total equals the number of members each state has in both houses of Congress, with the District of Columbia getting three of its own.”

Unless we want this country to be under a constant spiral of deterioration we must elect a candidate who will be good for us due and remember where the power lies in America, that being the common man. Democracy is power to the people, and excluding impoverished and uneducated from voting blocks does not represent that. This country was founded on the grueling hardships of those who, today, would not be considered as elite and therefore would not have been given the right to vote. We must not take privileges from those who built today's civilization. As a debtor farmer, the man I want running my country is Andrew Jackson, who will in turn give me my deserved rights. I support him fully in his policies of Indian removal and in the distrust of

As citizens we owe it to the people and voters who have given and sacrificed for the right to vote to make sure that every single vote is counted and equal. We need to ensure that a vote cast in one state is equal to the vote of citizens in any other state. We need to become a true democracy. “The presidency is the only office in America where the candidate who wins the most votes can still lose the election. There isn’t any elected office in the Nation, be it county,

Most of those who take that view seem to favor a plan whereby the president would be elected by direct popular vote, as in the case of governors, mayors, legislative members, and all other elected

The presidency of the United Sates of America has been an evolving office since the term of our first president, George Washington. This evolution has occurred because of the changing times and the evolution of society itself, but also because of the actions of the men who have become president. Starting in the 20th century, most have referred to the presidency as the modern presidency due to changes in both a president's power and the way that the office itself is viewed. As the office of the president has evolved so has who can become president evolved. Yet, even today there are certain individuals who because of their gender or race have yet to hold the office of the presidency. The men that

Presidents of the United States of America have been around since the country became it’s own. Each president is given certain responsibilities and rights. Presidential power is listed in the Constitution but since then, there’s been room for more responsibilities to come into play. The powers exercised in the modern world surpass those included in the Constitution. Today, the president has a number of offices and departments serving under him. These institutions help keep the government together and everything running smoothly. The presidents rely on a number of other things. Some include elections, political parties, interest groups, the media, and public opinion. There are different kinds of powers granted to the president. While some

I know we use that title a lot around here. It’s a play on words meant to mean speaking about civics, and speaking civilly. Lately it seems a little hard to do. Both are so important. I don’t know about you, but I am getting a little tired of seeing polls and man (woman) on the street interviews about basic civics and U.S.

The Role of the President is multifaceted he is both the head of state and head of The United States government, he is also the Commander-in-Chief of the armed forces. The term of office is 8 years and a President may not serve more than 2 terms. Article 2 of the Constitution of the United States of America deems that the President is Head of State, responsible for execution as well as enforcement of laws which are created by Congress. The president has the power to sign legislation into law and human also veto any bill and acted by Congress. Executive orders and appointments of heads of federal agencies, are also issued by the President, who may also issue pardons and grant clemency’s to individuals who have committed federal crimes, except in The case of impeachments.
