Pros And Cons Of Hillary Clinton
The 2016 election in the United States has been one of the chaotic elections in recent US history. The two major candidates running for president had many flaws that would have made them as drop out in any other given election in any other election year. However, this year both candidates are still running for president despite major issues with each of them. One of the candidates, Hillary Clinton, had many problems with her emails. One after another, a new email issue is being released on a weekly basis. So much so that many people, both republicans, and democrats, are questioning whether or not Hillary should be running for office. The question is proposing to the American people: “do the last emails released by the FBI have a major impact …show more content…
On March 2015, it became known to the public that Hillary Clinton, during her service as the Secretary of State of the United States, had been using her family’s private email server for official communication, rather than official State Department email accounts upheld on federal servers. Those official communications included thousands, if not millions of emails that would retroactively be obvious as classified by the Department of State. The controversy unfolded against the peak of Clinton’s 2016 presidential election campaign and hearings held by the House Select Committee on Benghazi. Some experts, including some officials, and members of Congress have challenged that her use of private messaging system software and a private server dishonored State Department protocols and procedures, as well as federal laws and State Department protocols governing recordkeeping. In response, Clinton has said that her use of personal email was in obedience to federal laws and State Department regulations and that former secretaries of state had also preserved email accounts, though not their own private servers. This was apparent as untrustworthy and cast doubts on her integrity. There is an extremely important reason why there is a strict protocol when it comes to emails pertaining to official business. While the numerous number of emails may not be currently classified as secret or top secret there is the possibility of them later receiving that classification due to the nature of the emails. People started to think that she was getting away with a violation that any other regular citizen or government employee would not be able to just due to elite status as United States Secretary of State. Nevertheless, as previously discussed several people who have already made up their minds to vote for her or her party will remain unmoved subsequently of her

    In the case of United States v. Warshak, the primary issue at hand is the constitutionality of the government’s warrantless seizure of more than twenty-seven thousand e-mails stored on an internet service provider’s server. To answer the constitutionality issue, the first focus is on e-mail itself as a form of communication, and whether there can be a reasonable expectation of privacy for e-mail stored on a service provider’s equipment. In this case, the Court ruled that e-mail has fundamental similarities with traditional forms of communication, such as a phone call or letter (Craig, 2013). For example, law enforcement cannot obtain a wiretap, search a house, or open mail without a…

    After coding all the candidates of the Republican National Debate, Governor Kasich stood out because his number of acclaims varied greatly from the number of times he attacked and defended himself during the debates. This is most likely due to the fact that his standing was last amongst all the candidates taking part in the debate. Because he held the lowest standing amongst all the candidates, many of the candidates did not bother to attack him so he did not need to defend himself as often as the others. He did not attack his opponents because his focus needed to be in bringing himself up in the ranks as opposed to just bringing the others down. According to Benoit's Functional Theory, this is because attacks can often times create an undesirable impression that the candidate is reactive rather than proactive (Glantz, 277, 2013).…

    While I can not attended this event because I am away at school I urge all people who are in the Chicago-land area to consider attending. Betsy DeVos is Trump’s nominee for Secretary of Education. Her goal is to use taxpayers money to fund charter schools and vouchers for private/religious schooling. We have seen in the past that vouchers (while a good idea in theory) do not work. As for using taxpayers money to fund religious schooling—- it is a direct violation of separation of church and state. DeVos has “cloaked” her ideas of privatization of the education system by saying that parents should “choice” where their children go to school—this is a luxury not all families will get. It is my belief that DeVos will cause great damage to public…

For Ohio this has been a tremendous success, each year more and more people are becoming insured both nationally and state wise for Ohio. According to a Cleveland news website the U.S. Census Bureau released information about uninsured rates in the U.S. the article states, “Nationally, the uninsured rate dropped 13.3 percent in 2013 to 10.4 percent last year (referring to 2014)” (source 1).

    Mitt Romney is running for President again. Though technically unannounced, the news effectively became public last on the 16th of this month, when Romney just happened to let it slip that he was “seriously considering” another campaign, having said previously that he would make a decision within “weeks, not months.” When a US politician purports to be “considering” a run, it usually means they’ve already started buying up White House-width curtain rails.…

    Edward Snowden Argument

    Activist Daniel Ellsberg, who himself had leaked the classified Pentagon Papers during the Nixon administration, applauded Snowden for being “the one person in the…NSA who did what he absolutely should have done” (Hope X). Ellsberg echoes the sentiments shared by many Americans and defends the whistleblower’s right to protect his own country’s Constitution. While it is clear that Snowden’s exposure of the NSA constitutes whistleblowing, it takes his supporters and well-known whistleblower Daniel Ellsberg to bring the issue light in the White House: the fact that the controversy is so ardent within the country—and the fact that the issues surrounding Snowden are not so cut-and-dry—mirrors many cases of questionable pardons in the U.S. in the past (Turley). According to Jonathan Tuley, Snowden’s situation is similar to Ellsberg’s and many other pardons in U.S. history, and furthermore, his pardon would pacify the “national divide” that has occurred as a result of the controversy. This argument is poignant, considering the level of controversy and the volume of unfavorable evidence against the NSA provided by…

    The impeachment of President Clinton is something that will be remembered forever. Along with the fact that a presidential impeachment has only happened one other time since the Civil War, the publicity that came with the Clinton trial was extensive (Miller 2004). While the Republican and Democratic members of the House of Representatives had vastly different views on impeaching President Clinton, the fact that only five Democratic Representatives voted to impeach him truly shows how wide that gap was between the two parties. Clinton was impeached on the grounds of perjury to a grand jury and obstruction of justice, with the vote on both articles extremely close, a 228-206 vote on perjury to a grand jury and a 221-212 vote on obstruction of justice (Rozell and Wilcox 1999).…
