Trump, 100 days Final Research paper

Money can change a man, so they say it influences them and blinds them from seeing the world by its true colors. Power, is everything some say but it corrupts those who abuse it, and can be very addicting which can result in many bad things if not in the proper hands. Money and power combined, can cause a man to crave more and feel like he can't be touched because he has it all in his hands. Well that’s exactly what we gave to donald trump back in 2015, as if his money wasn't enough for him he wanted power. Imagine a man like this running our country, he doesn't know nor has ever been in our shoes to feel …show more content…

As every president becomes elected, each one has a plan and a goal, and within 100 days the media and the people get to see what he has accomplished and what he hasn't. Here are some of the promises he has keep, Foreign lobby ban:A lifetime ban on White House officials lobbying on behalf of a foreign government." Term limits: "A constitutional amendment to impose term limits on all members of Congress” but as time passed Trump was uphold by congress and was unable to complete many of those promises he sought to keep. Only Being able to achieve 10 out of 36 promises in the first 100 days in office, was a kick to the face to Trump as if he thought he can change whatever he wants when he wants. Sadly he is mistaken and will always need support and permission of congress other branches in the government to achieve many of his …show more content…

Trump's run has been surprisingly good for him, about only two months in, he had climbed up the ladders to first place, and was able to maintain first since August 2015. Trump had made many promises, that would change many areas of the US government and for the people, which soon lead him to have a massive group of incompetent followers, especially on his twitter, “another Meek MIll”. His main goal, after he won the election back in 2016, was to keep many promises during his 100 first days in office. Trump had broken over 60 promises during his first month in office, how many did he break during the first 100

  • Unilateral Power In William Howell's From Power Without Persuasion

    To explain, the president has little control with regard to current events and policy making, his wishes are ignored, and his hands are tied. With such circumstances, the president’s desires are viewed as, just that, desires, rather than commands. Unless of course he holds the power of persuasion. In order to reach political power and presidential achievement, the president must persuade other political actors his interests are theirs (Howell 243). Howell counter argues Neustadt, explaining the president exerts influence not by the power of persuasion, but by his unilateral powers. “The president can make all kinds of public policies without the formal consent of Congress”. The unilateral powers emerge from institutional advantages such as the structure, resources, and location within the system of separated powers. (Howell 246-247). By that Howell means, the president’s power does not derive from persuasion, but from simply being the

    As seen quite often in the Obama administration, legislation gets stuck and lost in Congress due to the polarization of the parties in recent years. In Obama’s case, he has frequently threatened to go around the House and Senate if they could not reach an agreement or would shoot down his plans. Cato’s Pilon points out, however, that the hurdles of Congress are no mistake. Pilot states that the framer’s of the Constitution knew what they were doing, and this was intended to keep the checks and balances as well as accountability to the public (Lyons,

  • The Executive Branch Power: Enough or Not Enough?

    601 Words  | 2 Pages

    It is obvious the president was not given enough power under the Constitution. This is in part because Article II of the Constitution was written in a short period of time with little thought. Many presidents have had to make unclear decisions with little information about the circumstance in the Constitution and the president is beginning to take over the government due to increasing implied powers. However the president’s power has recently proven that it has outgrown the constitution and is swiftly evolving. The Constitution gave the president broad but vague powers, including the authorization to appoint judges and other officials with the Senate’s consent, veto bills, lead the military as commander and chief and make sure “that the Laws be faithfully executed.” Many of these powers however are shared with the Legislative Branch, and cause conflict within the government.

  • Does the Public Have Unrealistic Expectations for the Presidency?

    1493 Words  | 3 Pages

    The president has a significant amount of power; however, this power is not unlimited, as it is kept in check by both the judicial and legislative branches. The president is held responsible for passing legislation that will improve the lives of everyday Americans, even though he shares his legislative powers with Congress. The sharing of power acts as an impediment to the president’s ability to pass legislation quickly and in the form it was originally conceived. However, Americans do not take this into account when judging a president, as they fully expect him to fulfill all of the promises he makes during his campaign. By making promises to pass monumental legislation once elected without mentioning that Congress stands as an obstacle that must be hurdled first, the president creates unrealistic expectations of what he can fulfill during his time in office (Jenkins-Smith, Silva, and Waterman, 2005). A president is expected to have the characteristics that will allow him to efficiently and effectively lead the nation and to accomplish the goals he set during his campaign (Jenkins-Smith et al., 2005). There have been a handful of presidents that have been immortalized as the ideal person to lead the United States and if a president does not live up to these lofty expectations the American public will inevitably be disappointed. Since every president is expected to accomplish great things during his presidency, he is forced to created and project a favorable image through unrealistic promises. The combination of preconceived ideas of the perfect president and the various promises made by presidential candidates during their campaign create unrealistic expectations of the president by the American public.
