Reelection

Throughout history, there is a common trend that can be seen: political figures can “change” to gain more political control. Lyndon Baines Johnson (L.B.J.) was a man hailing from Stonewall, Texas, a hardcore Texan who went on to be a senator with his southern political bonds.

However, this power requires reelection; by being reelected, they are proving that are conforming to society's traditions, creating an air of personal equitableness, and helping themselves gain the the necessary skills that justify the exercise of power. The member of Congress soon develops

possibility of reelection at the end of the first term. This has created a problem because at the third year of the first term, the president will usually start campaigning for a second term. This takes away one whole year that the president could be focusing on the interest of the nation rather than his own election interests. Having a six-year term with an opportunity to be given a two-year extension would cease the worrying about campaigning for reelection. Without the possibility of reelection, the president

In 1992, incumbent President George H.W. Bush was seeking reelection against Arkansas Governor Bill Clinton, while the 2012 general election saw incumbent President Barack Obama seeking reelection against former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney. The campaigns of both incumbent presidents incorporated heavy use of television attack advertisements in the attempt to improve their political image, discredit their opponent, and win reelection. The purpose or intended goal of incorporating negative

impossible any good could come out of such a disaster. However, only one thing was certain: United States Government would never be the same. Republican President Richard Nixon ran for reelection in 1972, amidst the Vietnam War and a divided nation (History.com Staff). It was crucial that Nixon and his reelection team put forth an aggressive campaign (History.com Staff). The Watergate Scandal increased public distrust of United States Government, therefore creating new acts to disclose government
