Donald Trump is known for his erraticism and exceptional businesses practices. He shows an eccentric leadership style, which is portrayed by numerous qualities. One of these is the need for power. This is revealed by all the
The “disturbances of collective order” (Durkheim 1915, 246) or norms with spikes in unemployment and increased competition in labor market could have resulted in what Durkheim referred to as anomic suicide. People’s lives have been greatly impacted and they are uncertain of the future in America. Trump argues that immigrants pose a competition in labor market and he promised to bring jobs back for American workers or the White working class. It’s harder for them to live with the decline of jobs because in the old economic order, White workers have greater opportunities for growth. When their expectation of themselves in the society is threatened, Trump’s promise
With rumors of impeachment beginning to circulate, Nixon finally agreed to turn over the subpoenaed White House tapes. The committee listened to the recordings and discovered an 18-minute gap on one of the tapes. It was surmised that someone had erased part of the tape, but investigators were unable to determine exactly what had happened. In March 1974, seven former presidential aides were indicted on charges of conspiracy to hinder the Watergate investigation, and Nixon was named as an unindicted co-conspirator. On July 24, the Supreme Court voted unanimously to order Nixon to release the rest of the White House recordings, considering them evidence in the case that came to be known as the United States v. Nixon.
I believe Donald Trump is technically disobeying the Emoluments Clause of Article 1, Section 9 of the Constitution. The lawyers have strong case due to our President gaining revenue from other countries due to several businesses, which is a direct violation of the Clause, which states any person who holds an office of the United States may not, “. . . accept of any present, Emolument. . . from any King, Prince, or foreign State.” This clause was created by our original Framers to prevent foreign corruption, and internal corruption, such as a President attempting to gain more profits or a foreign ambassador receiving a present from another country's leader. President Trump’s may favor foreign countries over the U.S in order to gain more money.
On July 24, 1974, President Richard Nixon was to be presented before the judge for his Impeachment. 7 of his closest closet members were involved in a scandal at the Watergate Hotel leading to the blame for spying landing in Nixon’s lap. Audio recordings within the oval office of Nixon talking with family members, oval office conversations, conversations within other offices and phones within the executive branch had caught the attention of congress. These tapes would later become the lead evidence in congress’s case; however, Nixon believed he could use his executive privilege of subpoena to withhold the evidence. The question that came up next was: Could Richard Nixon use this privilege to avoid conviction or evidence in his trial, or would
The office of President of the United States is one of the most prestigious and honorable positions in the United States and within the United States Government. Dating back to the year of 1789, President George Washington took his oath of office on the balcony of Federal Hall in New York, New York to become the first President of the United States of America. Over time we have had many presidents and are now on our forty-fifth President, Donald J. Trump. Throughout the many years from President Washington to President Trump we have witnessed many changes and additions to the Presidency such as the Executive Office of the President established by Roosevelt.
Hillary Clinton her self, claimed that President Trump committed crimes of treason by colluding with
“I think is it just unconscionable what he has done to American politics. As bad as what Clinton did personally with Monica Lewinsky to the White House, now with Trump it’s like everything out of his mouth is a lie or just plain foolish or childish,” said Chapman.
The impeachment trial of President Clinton originated from a civil lawsuit filed in 1994 by Paula Jones. Jones alleged that in 1991 Governor Clinton asked a state trooper to bring her up to his room at Excelsior Hotel, where she alleged he dropped his trousers and asked her to "kiss it" (Chronology of the Paula Jones Case, BBC, January, 1998). The case made it to the Supreme Court because of the President's request to delay the trial until the end of his term. The Supreme Court ruled that the trial could proceed, and Jones' lawyers began their investigation. On December 5, 1997, "Jones' lawyers submitted a list of women that they would like to depose. Included on the
1 a) Powers of the Legislative branch include the power to tax, borrow money, to regulate commerce with foreign nations and among the states, to establish rules for the naturalization of foreigners seeking citizenship, to establish a post office, to raise and maintain an army and navy, and to declare war. In the case of impeachment of federal officials, the House has the sole right to bring charges of misconduct that can lead to an impeachment trial. The Senate has the sole power to try impeachment cases and to find officials guilty or not guilty. A finding of guilt results in the removal of the federal official from public office. The Constitution also grants the legislative branch the power to create an annual budget for the federal
No, I do not think that the impeachment an appropriate response. In the New York Times Overview, one quote that really stands out is from Mr. Gephardt ''Our founding fathers created a system of government of men, not of angels, ''No one standing in this House today can pass a puritanical test of purity that some are demanding that our elected leaders take. If we demand that mere mortals live up to this standard, we will see our seats of government lay empty and we will see the best, most able people unfairly cast out of public service.'' Mitchell, Alison. "HE FACES A SENATE TRIAL, 2D IN HISTORY; VOWS TO DO JOB TILL TERM'S 'LAST HOUR'" The New York
To begin with, Trump's intellectual dishonesty is deeply at odds with Plato and Socrates view that justice and truth are the highest virtue. Also, in contrast to Plato's teachings, Trump focuses on the physical aspects of erotic love, instead of the just man's desires for knowledge and goodness in a relationship. Lastly, Trump's behavior and polices desperately lack the four virtues that make a just city, such as wisdom, courage, moderation, and justice.
The Article, “ How dangerous is 'Comey memo' for Trump?” discuses the trouble the President has gotten himself into over the past few days. I believe that our government needs to take a step back and figure themselves out along with briefing the president on what he can and cannot tell foreign countries.
