The President Of The United States

Throughout the years we have had some great United States presidents and some terrible ones. When we elect a president, we want someone who will improve our country and stabilize our economy. However, many presidents do not accomplish this during their term and end up causing the opposite effect to happen. One president who is on the list of presidents that made the country worse and our economy decline is George W. Bush. He was the United States president from 2001 to 2009. George W. Bush was one of the worst United States presidents for many reasons, but the top three on my long list are first and foremost his decision to start the war on Iraq, second his support of the Military Commissions Act, and last but not least his handling of the Hurricane Katrina disaster.

Undoubtedly, the last 80 years have brought the biggest change to the election process - polling. Beginning with the Gallup poll in 1936, the industry has become a titanic business, growing unregulated by the United States government. Frequently, polls have come under fire for their inaccuracy, or for their role in blocking the Democratic process (the 2000 and 2004 elections come to mind). Nonetheless, the 1992 election was not notable because of alleged bias, but because of what the polls said about

We first talked about whether or not voters should vote, but now let’s look on the other hand of the candidates. Another issue that faces the candidates is

This year’s presidential election has been riddled with controversy and drama. The two presidential nominees, Hillary Clinton, and Donald Trump, each have questionable acts. As voting time approaches and the debates come to an end many individuals must decide who is fit to run the country. By considering their backgrounds, verifying the validity of their policies, and brining into consideration their performance in the debates, a suitable president should be found.

In the 2016 Presidential Election many people, especially young adults, are not happy with the candidates chosen from either the Republican and Democratic side. For the Republicans Donald Trump was chosen, and from the Democratic side Secretary Hillary Clinton was chosen. From the third party former governor Gary Johnson, Jill Stein, and Darrell Castle were all chosen. As the election comes closer more people are starting to panic over who could become the next President of the united States. Senior Kaitlyn Hill explains why she thinks this election is not looking good.

There have been forty-four Presidents of the United States and most people can only name a few. One of the lesser known presidents is known as John Quincy Adams who was President from March 4, 1825 to March 4, 1829. His fame may have been enriched by the fact that he was the first son of a president to become president. “Quincy” as he was called to avoid any confusion with his father John Adams, was one of the most qualified people to ever be elected into the White House. His six years (one term) in office saw both success and failure. John Quincy Adams as Secretary of State had quite a few successes, but also had several failures as President; however, his Presidency led to the most successful post-Presidency in the history of the United States.

Though there are still plenty of important events still to come, like the debates and numerous campaign speeches, voters can now begin to form an opinion on the candidates and at least have a preference for one or the other now that they understand the candidates’ policies and personalities. Personally, after watching the debates and further researching the candidates’ stances on numerous issues, I have decided that I favor the Republican Party and Donald Trump in this presidential election and would vote for him if I was old enough. I prefer Trump and the Republican Party over Clinton and the Democratic Party because I agree with more of the Republican stances and principles and feel that Trump would make a better president than Clinton. For instance, though I do not agree with everything he said on the topic, I largely support Trump’s stance on immigration as I also feel that we need to tighten our borders and try to end illegal immigration because when people come to our country illegally, they take jobs away from American citizens, don’t pay taxes, and end up causing American citizens to have to pay to accommodate them (“Immigration Reform”). Though I do not necessarily believe that we can make Mexico pay for a wall or that we can deport every illegal immigrant in the country, I think that he is right to attempt to stop illegal immigration and punish

The man we now call the president of the United States, Donald J Trump has recently made comments about decisions that might happen in this country. The disturbing comments has affected many families emotionally, mentally, and physically especially our families who are illegal immigrants. The new president has made accusations of deporting all illegal immigrants in this country, including our younger generation of immigrants who immigrated to this country as children by the decision of their parents, the younger generation of immigrants are also known as our dreamers, DACA students. The article, “Rethinking Immigration Reform” written by Mike Coffman a Republican who represents Colorado’s 6th Congressional District, argues that the

The upcoming Presidential Election is unlike any other. Two very different candidates with widely disparate political experience and personalities square off against each other in a bitter, contentious battle. Neither candidate seems very popular or likeable, yet one of them will be sworn in as President of the United States come January. In many ways this presidential election is unprecedented. The candidates from both parties are perceived as extremely unfavorable. And, while the establishment candidate Hillary Clinton currently leads the race, more recent polls show that her lead over her outsider opponent, reality television star and real estate magnate Donald Trump, is weakening. What is not unprecedented about this election, however,

The question of how some Presidents are able to use their personal influence to achieve their political goals from what is a technically weak position vis-à-vis the Congress is one that has fascinated political scientists for decades. The President is rightfully perceived, as the most powerful office is America, indeed the whole world. He can negotiate with other nations. He can send troops into combat. He can use the immense powers of the executive branch to chart policy. When it comes to enactment of legislation, however, the Constitution gives the President very limited power over the legislation other than the veto, which, when used, most often reflects weakness rather than strength. The President can propose legislation but he cannot even force Congress to consider it or even get it out of committee. The President’s agenda is largely in the hands of Congress. A President’s success in pursuing his agenda is directly proportionate with his power to persuade Congress.

The 2016 presidential election is one of the most important and controversial elections in living memory. Republican? Democrat? The country seems to be almost evenly divided on political, moral, and economic problems facing the United States and the world. Trump, Clinton, and the other candidates are working to inspire the American People to vote to “grow stronger together” or “to make America great again”. Numerous citizens of the country have announced that they are leaving the country if the candidate that they dislike wins the presidential election. Many people are turning these dark days into a game- who will vote which candidate. When driving, working, and even reading some people have been playing an almost perpetual game of Guess Who

On September 11, 2001, America was attacked by terrorists. Before this traumatic event, one could not even imagine someone doing such a thing. When this event occurred everyone had been unaware and continuing their daily activities only to be stopped by this life changing news. The president at the time was George W. Bush. Doing day to day activities like the rest of us, he was reading to a second grade class that bright Tuesday morning. Upon hearing about the news, he was utterly shocked along with the rest of America. At approximately 8:40 p.m., which is around 12 hours after the event, he gave a speech to address this horrendous event. President Bush had successfully created a sense of unity and security throughout the country with his speech by using ethos, pathos, logos, tone and imagery.

To measure likeability we will use a variation of polls and surveys to get an understanding of their popularity among the overall public. Using a thermometer survey to query; Do you support the candidate’s policies, negatives about the candidate's agenda, do you feel the candidates is trustworthy, and is the candidate a good leader? All of these questions can help make a determination on how the public considers a candidates, therefore giving a determination on their

These public opinion polls play a significant role. They are used throughout the election campaign to track where candidates are in comparison to the others. The outcomes of these polls can sway voters, they can help direct campaign funds to needed areas to help boost their numbers, and they can redirect each candidate's efforts of concentration. After we have carefully analyzed and examined all of our candidate’s offerings, it’s time to cast our vote. On Election Day, we head to our polling venue and vote for the candidate that we feel best embodies what we believe in. In the U.S. Election Day is the first Tuesday in November following the first Monday between the 2nd and the 8th of the month. In the beginning, this date was not an issue. The average voter owned his own land and worked that land. The farmer would leave out on Monday, vote on Tuesday, and return to his land on Wednesday. In todays fast pace society, not all registered voters have the luxury of being able to vote because of their work schedule. That is just one of the reasons that voter turnout is lower today. A big reason is that today’s society feels like their one vote won’t make a difference. A

How much does your vote really count? As a voter, does your choice really matter? How much influence does the media have on your vote? How many choices does the media actually make when it comes to our nation's leadership? These are questions pondered by both political scientists and the average American citizen each year as the second Tuesday in November approaches. Though we know that the framers founded this nation on the principles of representing it's citizens, and on the ideals of a nation for the people and by the people; it is obvious that the people feel that their vote doesn't always count. In this paper I plan to expand on these questions and the justifications behind asking them, and I plan to follow up with a specific
