Types of Powers of the President
1) Alliteration

Acquainted with the Night by Robert Frost

I have stood still and stopped the sound of feet
When far away an interrupted cry
Came over houses from another street

2) Assonance
“Early Moon” by Carl Sandburg

THE BABY moon, a canoe, a silver papoose canoe, sails and sails in the Indian west.
A ring of silver foxes, a mist of silver foxes, sit and sit around the Indian moon.

3) Blank Verse
“Of Mans First Disobedience, and the Fruit” by John Milton
Of man's first disobedience and the fruit
Of that forbidden tree whose mortal taste
Brought death into the world, and all our woe,
With loss of Eden, till one greater Man
Restore us, and regain the blissful seat,
Sing, Heavenly Muse, that on the secret top
Of Oreb, or of Sinai, didst inspire
That shepherd who . . .

4) Caesura

“A Lady Who Thinks She is Thirty”
By Ogden Nash
Time is timelessness for you;
Calendars for the human;
What's a year II , or thirty, to
Loveliness made woman?

5) Consonance
Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening by Robert Frost (1874-1963)
Whose woods these are I think I know.
His house is in the village though;
He will not see me stopping here
To watch his woods fill up with snow.

6) Couplet
“Desert Places”
By Robert Frost

Snow falling and night falling fast, oh, fast
In a field I looked into going past,
And the ground almost covered smooth in snow,
But a few weeds and stubble showing last.

    Enumerated powers are particular powers acknowledge to Congress by the Constitution of the United States. These powers only belong to the federal government. The founders of the Constitution wanted to guarantee that the federal government would not become an exceeding entity that might issue the people to the misery from which they had run away to escape. These powers include the power to coin money, the power to regulate interstate commerce and also commerce (a.k.a trade) from other countries, the power to keep up the equipped forces, and finally the power to create federal courts.

    The Power Of Presidency

    The power of being president, and all the endless decisions that comes with it. Barack Obama has the final say of the legislative, executive, and judicial branch. These three branches make up America’s politics. Now the president can’t govern a whole country all by himself, he needs help. In irony the president may be called the most powerful man in the world but his politicians also control the outcome of his decisions. The president needs to take into consideration the powers of the other three branches. "A president cannot lead unless he appreciates the perspectives of other elected politicians and accepts their legitimacy." (Bowles) What has Obama been doing with his powers lately?…

    Under the Constitution, Congress is charged with carrying out the legislative functions of government. The framers of the Constitution wanted the lawmaking and national policy role to be in the hands of a representative body. The “formal powers”, structure, and procedures of the national legislature are outlined in considerable detail in Article I, Section 8, of the Constitution. These powers are extensive, however as a means of “sharing” powers and functions between separate institutions, most of them are shared with the other two branches, particularly the executive.…

    The Poem ‘Winter Swans’ seems to convey a strong theme of natural love. The poem begins with setting a scene of a peaceful day, where nature seems to be stilled after the torrential weather that is referred to in the first line through ‘The clouds had given their all.’ It goes on to say that there was then a ‘break’, and throughout the poem the poet uses words such as ‘silent’ and ‘rolling’, ‘stilling’ and ‘slow-stepping’ to capture this scene of peace and serenity, as if the world was resting after being thrashed about by a storm.…

    I picked the role and powers of the presidency because the American people are quick to blame the President for all that goes wrong in the government and it’s just not fair. So I picked six former Presidents and a major event that happen in their terms to show their impact on American history. Maybe this will help shed some light on how much they have done for the American people.…

    In general society and everything has become more complicated, more laws have been passed. Every one passes the buck and doesn’t want to take responsibility and plays the “blame game”. It is gridlock in Washington DC, the bureaucracy has grown vast and complex, nothing gets done. But if Presidential powers are rolled back the office of the Presidency will lose credibility, power and respect. Public opinion regarding the president’s job performance influences presidential power; the higher the public approval, the more power the chief executive has to influence others within the political system, including Congress. The President may have charisma and influence, but the real power comes from Congress. The Constitution is supposed to prevent…

    U.S President is often considered as the most powerful person on Earth. U.S President has many powers, but President cannot misuse his powers. The system called checks and Balances keeps everything in order for the U.S government to run. If Congress thinks that the president is misusing his power, the congress can impeach the president, but in order to do that congress requires 2/3 of majority votes. There are three branches in the U.S government, Legislative, Executive, and the judicial branches. The president is the head of the Executive branch, which is responsible for enforcing laws passed by the congress.…

    An effective short poem by Edna St. Vincent Millay, What Lips my lips have kissed, and where, and why, portrays the dissonance between ideal young love and aged heartbreak. Millay starts this theme by looking back on the affairs she has had and realizes she has aged, "What lips my lips have kissed, and where, and why, I have forgotten…" (1-2). Then Millay explains how her past lovers continue to haunt her, "…but the rain is full of ghosts tonight, that tap and sigh upon the glass and listen for reply", once again the reader gets the impression of an aged author (3-5). Millay expresses her grief in remembering her past young love, "And in my heart there stirs a quiet pain for unremembered lads that not again will turn to me at midnight with a cry", using lads reinforce the fact that she remembers her young love (6-8). The poem goes on to express loneliness and heartbreak through a tree metaphor, "Thus in the winter stands the lonely tree, nor knows what birds have vanished one by one, yet knows its boughs more silent than before:" (9-11). Millay 's mention of winter refers to stillness, age, and death and trees usually represent growth, but in the winter, they do not have any growth. This represents Millay 's present state. The fact that all the birds have left her branches and everything has become silent reinforces Millay 's feeling of unwanted solitude. The poem 's last statement gets across that the lovers Millay had in her lifetime have left her, "I only know that summer sang in me a little while, that in me sings no more" (13-14). Summer usually represents youth and aliveness, but now Millay does not have that feeling, so she has become an old lonely woman.…

    This allows them to command our troops and be in charge of war strategy. However, they are do not hold the power to declare war. With that kind of power in the military force, also have the responsibility of communicating with other countries. Military power also gives the President greater insight into our interactions with other countries. Which could perhaps be another reason in which they are the major influence in foreign policy making.…

    When I heard that we were going to read "Stopping by woods on a Snowy Evening" by Robert Frost, I was extremely pleased, as I was very familiar with this it. I first read it as a child and it has ever since been my favorite poem. Explicating this poem gives a much deeper meaning than the words first indicate. The main underlying theme the poem explores is the wonder and sereneness of nature, while at the same time subtly pulling the reader away and towards the hustle and bustle of the modern world.…
