How Does Being A President Impact The Last 4 Years
My wife and I had a long consersation on this question and I am just going to sum it up. My wife and I both do think elections matter whether the president serves 4 years or even 8 years. Most of the time, a president has more of an impact on the country than we think. Lots of people believe that presidents don’t have enough time to really do anything as president and my wife and I tend to disagree with this statement. My wife and I believe that a president’s decisions impact the generations after he served. Take Trump for example, the policies he proposed on immigration caused the country to become less diversified. The country is still not very diverse anymore and this was a result of a president who served almost 15-20 years ago. Elections

    Summary Of President Obama's Second-Term Curse

    This article talks about the second-term curse; the perceived tendency of second terms of recent U.S presidents to be less successful than their first terms. According to the "curse", the second terms of recent presidents have usually been plagued by a major scandal, policy inertia, some sort of catastrophe, or other problems. In the article “Second Chances”, the author suggests some ideas about how President Obama can avoid a unsuccessful second-term. He talks about the failures of George Washington, Ulysses S. Grant, Woodrow Wilson, Dwight D. Eisenhower, Richard Nixon, Ronald Reagan, Bill Clinton, and most recently George W. Bush, who were the victims of the ‘curse’ and by looking at these two-term stars, he explains how and why Obama might be more blessed than cursed.…

    Discusion Questions His301

    Presidential elections affect the Supreme Court depending on what political party the president is. This affects who the President nominates for any vacancies in the Supreme Court at the time of election. In some cases, such as when Clinton won over Bush, there were several vacancies that Bush did not fill so the Democrat-controlled Congress withheld action on Bush’s nominees. Because Congress did this, when Clinton come into office he filled those vacancies with Democratic nominees.…

    United States Presidents: the Good, the Bad, the Ugly

    President James Polk once said, "With me it is exceptionally true that the Presidency is no bed of roses." And it is definitely true that the being the most powerful man on earth cannot be an easy task. Forty- three men have taken on the challenge of filling these shoes and to be forever considered for their accomplishments. In this line of powerful men, some are remembered for their ability to overcome adversity and leave a legacy of prestige and success while others have failed in their attempts to lead the country successfully. In almost every poll, James Buchanan ranks as one of the three worst presidents in United States history while Franklin D. Roosevelt lands in the top three on the roster of great presidents.…

    Explain Why Some Presidents Today Have Too Much Power

    Presidents today have too much power. Originally the President of the United States was only supposed to have a very limited amount of power, based on Article II of the Constitution. Documents A, D, E, and F prove that the president was supposed to have limited power but, other members of Congress can veto the presidents ideas. Document A and document E that the president was supposed to have limited powers but ultimately they are unlimited. One specific piece of evidence that I found was, “The President was given ONLY the powers included in Article II of the US Constitution.”…

    First, liberty is an important principle of a democratic government because it ensures that citizens have the ability to be free within society from harsh restrictions imposed by authority on one's way of life, behavior, or political views. Secondly, liberty gives certain people the opportunity to run for presidency that fit the requirements. Lastly, liberty is evident within the two-term limit for presidency of the United States. As President Reagan states in a New York Times article that after leaving office he “would like to start a movement” to repeal the constitutional amendment that limits presidents to two terms (SOURCE #2). Reagan had the freedom to try and elongate the time a president could be in office. However, to this day a president is limited to two terms (8 years), with 10 years being the exception, when either the previous president being impeached or died while in office. The new president is still eligible to be elected to two more 4-year terms according to the 22nd Amendment.…

    The Importance Of Bill Clinton's Experience In Foreign Affairs

    Bill Clinton did not have much experience in foreign affairs prior to his presidency. The collapse of the Soviet Union and the unpredictability of the world after the Cold War produced a number of foreign policy crises. Many of these problems challenged Clinton's abilities as a politician. Several weeks before Clinton took office, President George Bush sent American troops into Somalia, a country located in eastern Africa. In October of 1993, the humanitarian mission to combat poverty grew into a gruesome military conflict. The public was concerned, and so in March 1994, Clinton announced a full withdrawal of U.S. forces out of Somalia. The failure of American troops to be properly equipped for the mission created the impression that President…

    The Impact Of President Barack Obama On The Millennial Generation

    Being a millennial baby, I think that the election of President Barack Obama has had the greatest impact on the millennial generation, when he was inaugurated on January 20, 2009; everyone knew that everything would change. With President Obama being the first African America President, it gave some people a dosage of confidence, so to speak. I remember my father telling me that President Obama was elected. Even then, I thought to myself, I could do anything I wanted and be anything I wanted. That wasn’t quite the case because of one little problem: racism. Racism has been there ever since I can remember, just because of someone’s skin tone. Even at my school, I feel different because I am the only Indian in my class. The majority are Caucasians.…
