During the time of elections, one spends more money to get the votes. At the time of campaigns lots of money are spending to get one’s vote and get victory. Each vote counts important to candidate, so he/she spends as money as they can and want to get every possible vote in their favor. But spending a lot of money doesn’t ensure one’s victory.

In my life I have never had any political enforcement or strict religious influence. My parents were very lenient when it came too political preaching. I was taught to be a caring and respectful individual. My political understanding and beliefs have been molded from my early political memories and socialization experiences. As a young adult I have always strived to become knowledgeable about political ideals mainly because I was never really taught to believe in something specific. I eventually was drawn towards many different social and political perspectives, which is how I came to a logical conclusion of how I view the world politically

This year, 2016, the country will greet its forty-fourth president, but forty-three if Grover Cleveland is counted twice. Some say that the greatest presidents, however, presided in 1860 to 1877. These three presidents, Abraham Lincoln, Andrew Johnson, and Ulysses S. Grant, rose to the occasion and helped to shape the United States of America to be the great nation that stands today.

Throughout the history of the United States, there have been forty-five presidents. While there have been some bad presidents, there have also been some great presidents, that have left their mark on the country, or even the world. In my eyes, Abraham Lincoln is one of the great presidents in United States history. The first thing that comes to mind when you think of Abraham Lincoln, is most likely how he “ended”, slavery. On January 1st, 1863, Abraham Lincoln delivered the Emancipation Proclamation, changing the entire cause of the Civil War to being about abolishing slavery.

Political time deals with the years between major shifts in the ideological trajectory the United States undertakes; it exemplifies the presidency as the means to progress the political movement. Political time is not infinite; it is reset when the existing ideological trajectory is replaced by another. For example, the article discussed President Ronald Reagan as the executive that reset political time from the Democratic New Deal to a more conservative movement. The president of the United States plays an important role in political time. “Those operating on political time see the president as an agent of change poised to break through the knot of interests and institutions that block concerted action on the agenda

“The media's the most powerful entity on earth. They have the power to make the innocent guilty and to make the guilty innocent, and that's power. Because they control the minds of the masses” (Malcolm X). In 1797, there was no cameras, television, radio, telephones, or social media. There was not any entertainment value on campaigns the media could potentially exploit, but how could the American citizens formulate opinions on presidential candidates? How did they come to understand about their policies or stances on certain issues? Candidates would write to columns in newspaper or use printing presses to release booklets with their policies and other issues they had to address. They would talk to the public at meetings or conventions. Journalists would write down what they said and wrote a news article about it. They did not mask themselves with over exaggerated personas or make outrageous statements just to gather media attention because there was not the

Being a president of the United States of America isn’t easy, it takes a special kind of person, someone tough, smart, and driven, just to run for the job.

Presidents of the United States of America have been around since the country became it’s own. Each president is given certain responsibilities and rights. Presidential power is listed in the Constitution but since then, there’s been room for more responsibilities to come into play. The powers exercised in the modern world surpass those included in the Constitution. Today, the president has a number of offices and departments serving under him.

Some include elections, political parties, interest groups, the media, and public opinion. There are different kinds of powers granted to the president. While some

In the movie “The Candidate” I thought that the film was very interesting to me, being a person that has never been interested in politics. I found it interesting even though I am not for sure if this is the way that campaigns are run now. I thought it was nice to see how some candidates may be chosen, especially in this film because he was not expected to win the election. He was not even interested in politics although his father was once governor. The film showed how the campaign was ran and managed by his advisors. Although not expected to win the election, he somehow

Although it is often said that the President of the United States holds the most powerful office in the world, this does not mean that he is able to decide very much for himself. The American Constitution, which was adapted in 1789, clearly states the Separation of Powers. Thus, the president makes up only one third of the government, namely the executive branch. He is also controlled by a complex system of checks and balances, which makes sure that he (or any of the other branches, for that matter) does not become too powerful. We will now have a look at the different problems which may be facing a recently elected president, and then discuss to what extent his powers are important.

The role of the President as Chief Executive is a complex matter because it covers a wide area of responsibility and involves many government agencies and offices, that the President is responsible for overseeing. The history of Chief Executive starts in the constitution with Article II section I “Executive Power shall be vested in the President of the United States of America” this did not create the role although it was a front runner to it.

To briefly explain this requires and understanding of what it is, what it does and how it

Even bands need leaders, if we didn’t have leaders where would we be today? John Quincy Adams once said, “If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader.” A good leader is liked by the people, has power, and produces followers. When there is an unwillingness to make things happen, to take the initiative and accept responsibility; this is when a leader emerges. Leaders develop through drive, creativity, and devotion.
