Power In Iran

The President was elected to run the country and therefore, has the most power of any individual. However, he cannot make a majority of the decisions alone and must make sure he keeps the approval of others in order to keep his job. The Constitution struck a fairly proper balance between empowering and limiting power of the President of the United States, but limited the power more so than empowering. Although the Constitution claimed the President as the leader of the Unites States, he is not able to single-handedly make decisions that affect our country. He is a large influence in a majority of the decisions in the government of the United States. However, he does not have complete authority over others and many of the decisions are

The government holds a crucial status to its citizens, executive branch specifically, is overlooked to symbolize leadership. Nowadays, the president’s office is believed to exemplify the values of the American people. There are certain powers allocated to the president by the United States Constitution, however; the responsibility and vacancy of the President tend to evolve from one president to the next. Characteristics of presidents and their effect on political decisions has beneficial aspects

The Iranians slowly settled into specific regions and began establishing their own societies. Eventually, two groups established themselves as leaders in the region. In the South, the Persians governed the area between the Caspian Sea and Persian Gulf and began establishing their own society. In the North, the Medes formed a state called Media and united themselves under one king in 710 B.C.E. Once the Medes had established the rule of a central government authority in the form of a monarchy, they began to expand into Persian territory while at the same time allying with the neighboring Babylonian Empire to overthrow the Assyrian Empire in 612

In the two articles, Presidential Power, by Richard Neustadt and also, Paradoxes of American Presidency, by Cronin and Genovese explains the inabilities and also the powers of the President. In the first detailed article that I mentioned , Presidential Power, explains all the roles and responsibilities of being the president. It explains all the president's roles such as Chief Legislator, Chief Administrator, and Chief of Party, which are all extremely important jobs that have to be done. Presidential Power gives a clear definition of the president's duties and how powerful he really is. The president has duties and responsibilities that has to be done. I believe that the president has as much power as anyone believes he has. After studying and analyzing the two articles, Presidential Power, and Paradoxes of American Presidency, I made a conclusion that the president is a powerful man, but in no way, he is too powerful.

The president's main power is reflected in the appointment of principal officials, the formulation of diplomatic strategies, and the military top commanders of wartime. The president also has some legislative power, mainly because he can put forward a bill and reject it. For example, even if Congress played its role as a check-and-balance force on the president, in fact we can see that if it involves issues such as war and peace, the checks and balances of the president by the parliament or other institutions hardly interfere with or affect the president's foreign policy decision-making

In exploring the basis on which the U.S President is considered to hold dominant authority in regard to foreign policy making, and whether the Congress ought to hold a significant role in the foreign decision making process, it is imperative to take into account the executive powers vested on the U.S presidency. This paper posits that the Presidency should be considered to be dominant, while at other times the Congress should be considered to be the dominant authority. In this perspective, it is essential that the Congress plays an important role in the foreign policy making process, since the most important feature of the U.S system is the division of powers.

The Power of President and Congress Every four years, together with not only people from over the world but also American are more excited and eager to wait for the result of U.S. presidential candidate because they elected and believed that he will bring them a hope to maintain and improve the whole scale of economic well-being as well as national security. The president is the one who has the highest power on hand to manage, regulate and solve national and international issues; however, people seem to ignore the role of Congress. In fact, the president would not be able to run the government himself without Congress’s assistance. Especially, in term of the foreign policy, it is defined as a series of strategies chosen by the state to ensure America’s interests and to achieve goals

“Presidents use various means to attempt to drive public opinion and effect political change. But history has shown that they are limited in their ability to drive public opinion. Favorable conditions can help a president move policies forward. These conditions include party control of Congress and the arrival of crises such as war or economic decline” (480). In other circumstances the presidential power is limitless. While the power of the presidency is typically checked by the other two branches of government, presidents have the unencumbered power to pardon those convicted of federal crimes and to issue executive orders, which don’t require congressional approval but lack the permanence of laws passed by Congress. In matters concerning foreign policy, presidents have at their disposal the executive agreement, which is a much-easier way for two countries to come to terms than a treaty that requires Senate ratification but is also much narrower in scope”

In this paper we will compare the formal and informal powers if the President and we will explore how and why the Presidential powers have increased over time. The history of the Presidency is an account of aggrandizement; one envisions, today, a President with far reaching power, however, when looking at the Constitution alone we find a President with significant limits. Is the President of the United States the most powerful person in the world or merely a helpless giant?

The [Bush] administration found it consistently difficult to get the measure of Tehran. Bush depicted it as a “nation held hostage by a small clerical elite that is repressing and isolating its people,” but the reality was far more complex. (482)

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. These institutions help keep the government together and everything running smoothly. The presidents rely on a number of other things. Some include elections, political parties, interest groups, the media, and public opinion. There are different kinds of powers granted to the president. While some

Iran is a theocratic state which means that all law is set by a religion or religious leader. Iran has an elected president, parliament, which is called Majlis “Assembly of Experts”, which elects the Supreme Leader and local councils. The Supreme Leader is Ali Khamenei and has been since June r, 1989. The president is Hassan Rouhani and has been in office since August 3, 2013. Speaker of

As the commander in chief, the president plays a significant role in shaping foreign policy. The president possesses the power to appoint senior cabinet members, commit troops and conduct high level talks with foreign governments. Congress, on the other hand, has the power to ratify treaties, confirm the president’s appointees and approve budgetary measures. And while the president has the ability to commit troops, only Congress has the authority to declare war. Despite criticisms of the American policy making process describing it as inefficient and slow moving, the main purpose and thus benefit of the constitutional separation of power is the framework of checks and balances that safeguard against monopolization of foreign policy decision making.

The regime has been able to consolidate Iran’s power in attempts to recycle power and one of the places it is most evident is in the military establishment. From the beginning of the regimes time, they had been aware of the political threat of military cadre, still loyal to the Shah. Almost immediately, the regime felt they had to deal with

In the US, the President as the chief executive power appoints his members of ‘Kitchen Cabinet’ and he is the Supreme Commander-in-Chief of Army,Navy and the Air Force. He appoints the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of the US. He enters into treaties with other countries. However, his treaties must be approved by the House of Senate.Otherwise, the treaty will not come into force. Though President Woodrow Wilson was the chief architect of the League of Nations that came into being after the first world war,US could not become a member of it since the House of Senate did not approve it.Thus important policy decisions must be necessarily approved by the House of Senate, which
