Bush v. Gore

time. Al Gore, Vice President for eight years, against George W. Bush, son of former President H. W. Bush. Both Gore and Bush sought to distance themselves from their normal parties, to make a unique approach to their political ideas. The 2000 United States presidential election was one of the closest presidential elections in history. A month of recounts and court challenges followed, culminating in the Supreme Court case Bush v. Gore. Following the court’s 5-4 decision, George W. Bush was declared

rulings in Supreme Court Cases. The holding in Bush v. Gore had a significant impact because it named the President of the United States. It was by way of this ruling that the head of the executive branch was chosen. This ruling allowed for President Bush’s eight-year rule. Given the events that occurred during Bush’s presidency, The United States could have been run completely differently given the outcome of that election. A direct impact was that Bush appointed a more conservative bench to the Court

mostly peaceful, unemployment rates were historically low, but however, there were a record number of terrorist threats (Muhlhausen). Despite all of these headlining topics presidential candidate Al Gore and Vice President Joe Lieberman were far more concerned about global climate change (“Al”). Gore was, and still, is very passionate about this topic (“Al”, 9). He has challenged the two biggest polluters in the world, China and The United States to, “Make the boldest move in climate change.”

People went to bed one night thinking that Gore had won, but when they woke up they found out that bush had won with Florida’s twenty-five electoral votes. It happened on November 7, 2000. Bush charged that the recounts in Florida broke the rules of the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution. A 7-2 majority ruled that the Florida recount was being conducted unconstitutionally. The case was covered in controversy as the Majority versus minority opinion

When the Supreme Court intervened in the case of Bush v. Gore, they violated the Equal Protection Clause and changed the way we look at democracy.] There is presumably no other case that better paints a picture of the injustice the Supreme Court caused during the 2000 presidential election. Voting in America has developed throughout history. Originally, the Constitution did not specifically define who had the right to vote until the 14th and 15th Amendment in which specified, “the right of citizens

happened in the 2000 presidential election between Texas Governor George W. Bush and Vice President Al Gore. It was one of the closest presidential elections ever, but it also sparked controversy. On Tuesday, November 7, 2000, the voting had begun like any other election did in the past, people came and voted who they wanted as president, but voting turned for the worst that day. After announcing that Gore wins Florida and then Bush was the winner, the news media proclaimed that the results were too

women felt she should have, they still considered her to be a great role model. Sandra Day O’Connor’s influence was strong in the Supreme Court on the decision of many cases. Sandra Day O’Connor was one of four justices to rule on the case of Bush v. Gore. This is a case concerning the miscalculations of votes in four counties in the State of Florida.

The presidential election of 2000 is the most controversial election in US history and led to a Supreme Court case between the two candidates, George W. Bush and Al Gore. Bush v. Gore has forever tainted the election and the integrity of the Supreme Court. The equal protection clause of the Constitution provided George W. Bush with a historical argument that surprisingly fit his case. Not every Floridians ballot was provided with the same protections. There was no statewide vote recount procedure

The Presidential Election of 2000 It is hard to believe that it will be a year since the Bush vs. Gore campaign was in it’s final stages, or so we thought. The Bush vs. Gore campaign was at its climax in late October of 2000. The people of the nation were casting their votes and the two leading Candidates were neck and neck. The tension was sky high on Election Day, November 7th, 2000. Behold, we were to have a new president; well, possibly. Election experts have called “evolution”
