Pros And Cons Of Obama
The president is more than unconstitutional, he is uncontrollable, too. President Obama is uncontrollable in his actions when illegal decisions are made more than once regarding Obamacare and when a large part of our government system is being questioned due to his disregard for the law. Obama went too far to get what he wanted. Checks and balances aren’t being taken seriously, if he can get away with it, so can everyone else. Obama unconstitutionally delayed the caps on payments without approval from Congress. He is uncontrollable and imperial because he shows with these examples that he thinks he can just go around Congress more than once regarding only one piece of legislation
Obama is uncontrollable in both his actions and his words. President Obama lied many times while speaking about …show more content…

    Reagan's Presidency Pros And Cons

    During Reagan’s presidency from 1981-1989, he was able to accomplish many things such as boosting the economy, strengthening national defense, and reducing the power of the federal government. When the economy was in its worst recession since the Great Depression, Reagan decided to cut taxes and government spending on social programs; however the tax cuts mostly helped the rich and cutting welfare hurt the poor. On the other hand, his deregulation, domestic spending restraint, and tax cuts helped lead to an economic boom that lasted two decades. Reagan was still able to eliminate many deductions and exempt millions of people with low incomes. He was also able to slow the pace of inflation. The supply-side economics…

    Pros And Cons Of Reaganomics

    According to Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation and Library, “When Ronald Reagan took the oath of office as America’s 40th President on January 20, 1981, the country was experiencing some of bleakest economic times since the Depression. Taxes were high, unemployment was high, interest rates were high and the national spirit was low.” Reagan’s Economic Recovery Tax Act was the first major legislation passed in his first term as the President of the United States. It was passed in 1981 and is also known as ERTA. This law lowered income tax rates and allowed for the expensing of depreciable assets. The tax act also greatly helped small businesses and individuals. They benefited from special tax treatment, accelerated capital recovery, and being allowed to merge. ERTA is most known for its large reduction in personal income tax rates across the board (Schein, 2015). Reagan’s Economic Recovery Tax Act was supposed to create jobs by reducing tax rates, therefore restoring the incentive to create jobs for people. It was supposed to help improve the economy by reducing individual income tax rates, helping small businesses thrive and allowing them to save money, and creating jobs though those reduced tax rates.…

    Constitiutional Power Of Congress Rhetorical Analysis

    In my opinion is I agree that the president has usurped the constitiutional power of the Congress. I agree this statement because he is wielding the most pontent legislative power. The Constitution does quote that “All legislative powers herein granted shall be vested in the Congress of the United States.” Most people agree that he has usurped the Constitiutional Power of Congress. It also seems that the president seems to wield the legislative power. In Article 2, Section 3 of the Constitiution states that the president “shall take Care that the laws be faithfully executed.” Congress wields the legislative power and it seems the president is wielding that power.…

    Why obama is ruining this country

    "Everyone is equal" AKA Communism. Obama is not stupid, he is simply evil. He is tearing apart this country from the inside and 51% of Americans were stupid to let this communist bastard back in to the white house even after four years of him doing, well, NOTHING. At least nothing beneficial. Now this socialist pig is trying to get rid of "assault weapons" and 30 round magazines. Colorado theater shooting, sandy hook, even so far back as columbine high school were a result of a mentally unstable person or persons acting violently because they were insane. If you walked up to a sane, rational person and handed them a loaded AR-15 chances are they wouldn't think "oh well I have this gun, might as well go rob that gas station, and while I'm at it, I'm going to shoot up a school." These socialist politicians are too stupid to figure that out. I agree with you that he wants total control of the US, I wouldn't even be surprised if he tried to run for a third term. He could probably find some loop hole. And all the minorities and illegals would rally behind him if he wanted another term. In addition to all of this, he is a post turtle. He is president, sure, but he sure as hell didn't get there by himself. I will close with saying this: I have only been on this earth for 14 years but in that time I have seen the once great America crumble around me. The world hates us, we turned tail in Vietnam, and now Afghanistan. This once great nation is turning into a communist powerhouse and all the dumb-asses that voted for Obama are scratching their empty minded heads saying "Well he promised change, I guess capitalism to communism is change, that's good, right?" I have watched time and time again, news reporters walk up to minorities and go "Do you think Obama is doing a good job?" then they would reply "Well yes." then the reporter would say "What do you think he has done that has benefited us the most?" then they would respond with, "Well, man, uh.... It's all good." And…

    Positive and Negative Consequences of the Unitary Executive Theory

    A law must be consistent, universal, published, accepted and enforced by the commander in chief. But in some cases morality might create a gray area where presidents sometimes have to navigate, thus forcing them to assert their executive power to a level which sometimes violates the constitution. A perfect example would be when President Abraham Lincoln, responding to a Confederate attack on Fort Sumter in South Carolina, does not wait for Congress to begin its next session to make his response. Instead, Lincoln, wielding powers that the Constitution does not grant him and without a formal declaration of war, drastically enlarges the Union’s army and navy, blockades Southern…

    Pros And Cons Of Executive Orders

    The answer is yes and no. The Constitution grants that “The executive power shall be vested in a President of the United States of America” (pg. 47). This one sentence of the constitution has been disputed since as early as 1793. After over a century of dispute it is affirmed “That the president does possess “residual” or “resultant” powers over and above, or in the consequence of, his specifically granted powers to take temporary alleviative action in the presence of serious emergency.” (pg. 49). So now, what qualifies as an “emergency”? President Trump could feel that the threat of rapists from Mexico and terrorists from the Middle East is too great to ignore, thus its an emergency and he must act. In reality, Trump is authorized to build a wall and revive the pipelines going through Native Land. The thing he is not authorized to do, is ban people based on religion. The constitution states that “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof” (Amendment 1) thus Trump has directly contradicted the constitution, some will say that this is dictator-like behavior. But here's the thing, Congress can reverse it all, that is why this nation was built on checks and balances. While the President does not need the approval from congress to instate an executive order, “his powers may be augmented by congress”(pg. 50) if they feel the President has acted…

    President Powers Are Too Big

    In the United States our President has many powers that are granted to him when they are elected into office. They have the ability to change the budget, to either cut back on spending, or implement new programs to help their citizens. They can veto a bill that they think is not ready to be made law yet and send it back to congress for further evaluation. They can appoint Supreme Court Justices. They also are the Commander in Chief of all U.S. armies, and they even have the power to send troops over to foreign nations in times of hostility in some circumstances. There are many who believe that the powers of the president are sometimes abused, especially as the Commander in Chief. There have been several instances in our Nation’s history in which the President has been able to wiggle their way around the constitutional limitations that are given of the Commander in Chief. Even though the president is unable to actually declare war he can use his powers to advance a conflict. The article Congressional War Powers, The Commander in Chief and Senator John Mccain describes how this is achieved by stating “Technically only congress has the power to declare war but the President can act unilaterally to repel sudden attacks made on U.S. Soil” (Bowling, 2008, p. 1). Presidents use these executive powers to engage in a conflict that they believe needs to be settled in times of crisis. The Constitution has a system within-it that tries to grant separate but equal powers to all branches of government called checks and balances. Although this system of checks and balances is supposed to be followed, there are ways which certain branches of government can gain more power than others. Often the President is the one who abuses the system, and uses their executive powers for their own advantages. These powers granted to the President have been abused more and more throughout our Nation’s recent history and it needs to…

    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.…

    Essay On Presidential Power

    The Constitution clearly gives that power to Congress only. Yet recent presidents have been able to fight wars without Congressional approval. Many people believe that we should go back to the days when the president and congress were more or less equal in power. The President’s veto power is also a powerful weapon. The role of the President is described vaguely in the Constitution, but the executive veto power he possesses is precisely defined in the same document. The President cannot write legislation, he can only sign a bill into law or veto it. When the President veto’s a bill, it is completely done. He doesn’t have line item veto power. Congress gets bills passed if it is preferred by the President. As president, Barack Obama has made a habit of bypassing or ignoring constitutional limitations on his power. A lawsuit has been filed against President Obama over his alleged abuse of executive power. It will focus on how Obama has carried out his health care overhaul. Republicans say the lawsuit is necessary to keep the president in check, after he allegedly exceeded his authority with unilateral changes to the Affordable Care Act. In the U.S., health and social care makes up 8% of the economy so this has made a huge impact on the economy and the lives of Americans. President Obama was heard saying, “That’s the good thing about being president: I can do anything I want.” Although said as a joke, it…
