The President Of The United States

As the President of the United States at that time, Roosevelt held considerable authority over the decisions of his nation; therefore, he was able to persuade his people more effectively because his audience did not hold as much authority as he did. Roosevelt holds an authoritative tone throughout the whole speech as he states his efforts as a leader have resulted in making certain decisions; for example, he indicates that “As commander in chief of the Army and Navy, I have directed that all measures be taken for our defense. But always will our whole nation remember the character of the onslaught against us.” (par.9) in order to reinforce his reputation as the leader and maintain his voice of reason

The 32nd President of the United States, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, is one of the most remembered and honored presidents in history. He accomplished more in twelve years in office than most presidents did put together. Nevertheless, most of these outstanding actions were a result of events that were not caused by him, but was handled by him in a very effective and efficient way. In conclusion, he totally reshaped the idea of being an American President for all future leaders, and formed outstanding relationships with the public through his fireside chats. These chats consisted of a series of thirty evening radio addresses that took place between 1933 and 1944. Roosevelt had a passion for government and greatly increased the responsibilities

For all his talk of big sticks, Roosevelt proved more agreeable than they’d anticipated. “With the first year of administration the uneasiness was relieved,’ Cannon reflected. ‘Roosevelt, business found, had a bark that was considerably worse than his bite, although often his bark was annoying enough.”

In his “Four Freedoms” speech, President Roosevelt persuades his audience to fight for the rights of others by adopting several rhetorical devices. The first rhetorical device of his speech to appear is ethos. He reads “In the recent national election, there was...action in recognition of obvious danger.” (273) FDR builds his credibility in an interesting way, through the people who voted him into

Franklin D. Roosevelt’s use of the radio in what has been termed his “Fireside Chats” had a calming effect on Americans. American society had already suffered though several years of agonizing economic depression and FDR realized that Americans were afraid, and uncertain about their day to lives, and they were especially afraid for their families. It was his intent to introduce policies to alleviate the economic problems America was faced. With his medium of choice the radio he would promote and educated the public about his new legislative acts and policy changes.

Kouzes and Posner point out to inspire a shared vision you must make it a cause for commitment. With Roosevelt, the cause was apparent. The banking crisis was in full motion, farmers were suffering from the lingering effects of the dust bowl and the Great Depression was not yet over. Roosevelt appealed to the common ideals, but he did it with practicality, substance and authority. He spoke the truth. During his inaugural address on March 4, 1933, he stated, “this is preeminently the time to speak the truth, the whole truth, frankly and boldly” (p. 61). Roosevelt made it a point to connect with his audience and those he led. Throughout most of his political career, he focused on the public as his audience. He addressed them “with candor and a decision, which the present situation of our nation impels” (p. 61). During his first fireside

Roosevelt’s famous “fireside chats” are a series of speeches the president made, broadcasted by radio, that touched on many topics including unemployment, banking and fighting racism in Europe (“The Fireside Chats.”). These speeches brought comfort and confidence to the American people. The name

The modern presidency of the United States has become a powerful institution. Most if not all the people in the United States know who the president is. The president has become a celebrity of sorts throughout history, and with that status rising the president have become more powerful. However, as the old saying goes, with the great power comes great responsibility.

Roosevelt has often been called the first modern president. His charismatic personality helped him befriend the media

Both skilled orators, King Jr. and Roosevelt, successfully persuade readers using rhetorical devices such as repetition and metaphors. Roosevelt’s “The First Inaugural Address” was written to assure citizens that he would do everything in his power to fix the emergency of the Great Depression. In his speech he uses repetition and metaphors to help get his point across to readers. When discussing the problems that citizens are facing he states, “Yet our distress comes from no failure of substance. We are stricken by no plague of locusts.

The early presidents had an important role in shaping position of the president of America and set good examples for the future presidents to follow. Despite how underdeveloped the country was, the early presidents set great precedents, such as the two terms in office, foreign relations, and determining the power of the federal government and the judicial branch. Although the presidents in the 19th century each had an important role in history during their terms in office, their success as the leader of the executive branch is not exactly the same. The range for determining the success of the president is evaluated by their legacy, contributions to the economic success of the young nation, and ability to handle foreign affairs. Based on my criteria, I would rank the early presidents in this order of most successful to least successful: George Washington, James Monroe, James Madison, John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, and Andrew Jackson.

There are many flaws in the actions of the President of the United States using executive action to shape policies for the United States, but congress plays a major role in the reasons why there are so many issues pertaining to the use of executive action. Another flaw is that it is not spelled out in the constitution that the president is allowed to bypass congress on any issues that are not attended to. Congress makes a huge fuss about the president executing his executive actions but congress is the one from the beginning that granted that right to him in the first place. The presidents use of executive action on issues, that when applied, bypasses congress. Executive Actions are used to remedy a fundamental lack of action by congress

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 president is the most important job in the United States. Not the ruler of the United States ,but have some power over the country. The president of the United States is a person who symbolize the country and leads the country by making decisions of what is the best thing to do. The president needs to know about the past history such as the conflict of World War I and II and different events that led to violence in our own country. The president of the United States needs to know how the system of the government works and different problems that have been happening right now such as immigration, terrorism and hunger. The president needs to have the people votes so that he or she could be able to have the position of being the president

The President of the United States has a very important, and no doubt, stressful job. Yet not a king, the President carries multiple job titles which include, but not limited to: chief of state, chief executive, chief legislator, and commander in chief. Harry Truman (33rd U.S. President), displayed to the whole world his role as commander in chief, when he made the decision to drop two atomic bombs on Japan, in April of the year 1945. President Truman’s actions and reasons for the bombings showed that he used a utilitarianism view, as the bases of his decision.
