My wife and her sisters are cooking and Me, I’m in my man cave playing Xbox, with my brother and our friends, reminiscing
We are gathered here today to remember Andrew Jackson. President Jackson was among one of the best presidents we have ever seen. President Jackson was the first president to be relatable to the average person. As President Jackson once said, “The planter, the farmer, the mechanic, and the laborer… form the great body of the people of the United States, the bone and sinew of the country men who love liberty and desire nothing but equal rights and equal laws.” This showed how much he supported in the common people who are truly the backbone of our country.

The 2016 Presidential Campaign candidate, Bernie Sanders, believes in creating a better America. In proving to the American people, rich and poor, how great the country can be if all people vote for who is trusted best as future President of the United States.

It is my honor to address this assembly today. First, I want to thank God that I have been blessed with the great privilege of being born in this great country. A country that acknowledges that all men are created equal and provides its citizens with equal opportunity to achieve success.

Grover Cleveland is the President that I chose for my final project. Grover Cleveland was known for being an honest and trustworthy politician. However, he is probably best known for being the only United States President who was elected to two, non-consecutive terms in office (Krull, 45).
