Existentialism In Author's Short Story 'The Cog'
The Cog a short story by Author which, in my eyes, is about a man’s journey through his head as he questions the freedoms a society brings while also questioning the existential answer to is he truly happy? He starts from the jealousy of the freedoms of space, the freedom from the argument of society’s freedom. He later asks existential questions about his satisfaction with his life, his look both critically and existentially to find out his answer.

As he is the president of the world how could he feel dissatisfied with his position’s freedoms. Well keep in mind he is president of the world, not king of the world or dictator of the world. He is clearly not the ultimate leader and he acknowledges this when he refers to his inability to go

    Imperial Power Dbq Essay

    The president, throughout history, has always been a symbol of the country and has had powers for their title. However, there are only limited things the President can do, while they are in power. For the most part the President has to go through the congress, which might not accept the president’s request. The president should have the power to go beyond the bounds of the Constitution when the country is dealing with war or rebellion, and to take action if the lives of US citizens are in danger or to keep international peace in foreign countries.…

    There are no effective checks on presidential power

    Presidential powers are laid out in article II of the constitution, these include a range of formal power such as the power to propose legislation, submit the annual budget, sign legislation, veto legislation, act as chief executive, nominate federal judges and several others. There are also a range of informal powers that have progressively increased in power such as the ability for Presidents to issue executive orders. Although the founding fathers intended to create a government that had a system of checks and balances to prevent tyranny, the effectiveness of these checks in place may not have been as authoritative as intended as the President has ways of getting around the checks in place.…

Michael believes that the president does not have authority of having powers during a war.

    President of the United States

    The President of the United States, the chief executive officer of the federal government, the leader of the executive branch, and the commander in chief of the armed forces has certain constitutional powers. How much power does he really have? Does he have too much? Does he have too little, or not enough? In my opinion, I believe that the President of the United States of America has just enough power to run our country, deal with foreign and domestic policies, and fight the War on Terror In this essay, I will discuss my opinion, what the president’s powers are under the Constitution, and whether or not the president’s role has expanded beyond these powers in domestic and foreign policy.…

    The Power of the United States Presidency.

    Clinton Rossiter's essay entitled "The Presidency - Focus of Leadership" clearly shows that Rossiter believes the president has an overwhelming amount of power. Rossiter stated that the president is leader of the Executive Branch, the forces of peace and war, Congress, his political party, public opinion, and the rituals of American democracy. The president has the power to influence Congress, the power to sway the public's standpoint on things, and the power to partly control war. If Rossiter was asked "How powerful is the presidency?", he would surely answer like many Americans do, that the president is the most powerful person in the world. Rossiter wrote that the president is also the leader of the free nations. This is so because as long as America stays rich and powerful, the president's words will have a large effect on other countries that may be involved with America, giving the president some "world-wide" power along with the large amount of power he already has just over his nation.…
