All countries have their premiers enjoy this power of position and so does Trump, and he has been utilizing it well to his advantage and the country in few manners like trying to get more jobs for US by visa restrictions and immigration laws, many of them are not thought through but the positional power aids in doing so. 2.

The President of the United States is instrumental in the running of the country. He serves as the chief executive, chief diplomat, commander in chief, chief legislator, chief of state, judicial powers, and head of party. Article II of the Constitution states that the President is responsible for the execution and enforcement of the laws created by Congress. He also is tasked with the authority to appoint fifteen leaders of the executive departments which will be a part of the President’s cabinet. He or she is also responsible for speaking with the leaders the CIA and other agencies that are not part of his cabinet because these agencies play a key role in the protection of the US.

As the President of the United States, a president have powers that other members of the government do not. Presidential power can be defined in numerous ways. Political scientists Richard Neustadt and William Howell give different views on what is presidential power. These polarized views of presidential powers can be used to compare and contrast the presidencies of George W. Bush and Barack Obama.
Of the most powerful people in the world, the President of the United States of America hits the top of the list. Even though the policy agendas that presidents set as they take office often go unfulfilled, the office of President is still one of the most envied spots to have. But why could this be? It is because the United States is the most powerful nation in the world and with the President as the leader, he is said to have the most power in the world ("Top Ten Most Powerful Countries in the World"). With power comes responsibility and with this position he must govern a country while abiding by the rules.
World powers are usually created after political turmoil and usually encompass one key leader. In Rome this leader was Julius Caesar, who was appointed dictator for life and greatly changed the direction of Rome from a republic to an empire. In the United States, George Washington was a key military leader in the British Colony’s war for independence and was the first president of the new country. Both Julius Caesar and George Washington had great military experience, and were great leaders in their fledgling countries, but they greatly differed in their motivations and ideology, which bled into their countries.
Political scientists have continually searched for methods that explain presidential power and success derived from using that power effectively. Five different approaches have been argued including the legal approach, presidential roles approach, Neustadtian approach, institutional approach, and presidential decision-making approach. The legal approach says that all power is derived from a legal authority (U.S. Constitution). The presidential roles approach contends that a president’s success is derived from balancing their role as head of state and head of government. The Neustadtian approach contends that “presidential power is the power to persuade“ (Neustadt, p. 11). The institutional approach contends that political climate and institutional relations are what determines presidential power. The last approach, decision-making, provides a more psychological outlook that delves into background, management styles, and psychological dispositions to determine where a president’s idea of power comes from. From all of these, it is essential to study one at a time in order to analyze the major components of each approach for major strengths and weaknesses.
Richard E. Neustadt, the author of Presidential Power, addresses the politics of leadership and how the citizens of the United States rate the performance of the president's term. We measure his leadership by saying that he is either "weak or "strong" and Neustadt argues that we have the right to do so, because his office has become the focal point of politics and policy in our political system.

The times have changed for the Executive Branch. In the past, the president simply acted as the Constitution's errand boy. He could only follow it, and had no freedom to actually do anything but follow it. Thus, the president’s role was not efficient. As time passed, this restraint grew weaker and weaker. People decided that the president’s responsibility is to represent and serve the people.The enumerated powers would hold the president back from representing the people’s wishes. With the use of vested powers, presidents gained the ability to fix many problems not relating to some of the Constitution’s laws. As this transition occured, modern presidency appeared. For the president now acts as the main figure of the government, and bears the responsibility of the nation himself.
President Abraham Lincoln made claim to more presidential authority than any other president before him. He postponed the constitutional right of habeas corpus for a time and he put people in jail that were suspected of disloyalty to the United State during the civil war. He made many laws without the consent of congress, and made the army larger without their approval. President Theodore Roosevelt gave more power to the presidency by making his role in foreign policy much larger. President Woodrow Wilson expanded his presidency in a number of ways. He made the very bills that were passed through congress and there would have been no Sixteenth Amendment to the United States constitution if it hadn’t had been for Wilson’s influence in congress. He also extended the power of presidential foreign policy like President Theodore Roosevelt did before him. This was all due to the fact that the First World War happened during Wilson’s presidency. All of these precursors led up to the moment before the era of the modern presidency and if it had not been due to these aforesaid precursors the modern presidency and the United States for that matter would look very different than it does to this very
“I would rather lose in a cause that will someday win, than win in a cause that will someday lose” (Brainy Quote, 2013). Woodrow Wilson outlines the primary objective and conception of an American President. They fight for the hard causes no matter the difficulty in order to further the American Dream. The executive branch is the heart of American politics and a symbol of freedom. Throughout American history, Presidents have clearly influenced American domestic politics as well as world dynamics. This essay explores the idea that throughout the United States history, American Presidents have developed, ushered, and enabled the United States to continue as a superpower on a world stage, employing economic, social, and diplomatic tactics.
As a result from extreme hard work and perseverance followed by an unmatchable drive to succeed, Donald J. Trump has earned the right to be known as a multi-billionaire, real estate icon, and President of the United States of America. Reflecting on his life, he has faced many challenges and overcame them all. To understand how he rose to success and his journey to the top of the kingpin, it is important to recognize how he saw the american dream and pursued it.

I think Adolf Hitler is the one. Adolf Hitler was one of the 20th century’s most powerful dictators. He was responsible for World War II and the death of millions. Hitler saw a nation in despair and used this as an opportunity to gain political power. He saw a nation of unemployed and hungry citizens and promised them economic prosperity in return for absolute power. Someone once said “The Nazis rose to power on the empty stomachs of the German people”. Although he did not live a very long life, during his time he caused such a great deal of death and destruction that his actions still have an effect on the world nearly 50 years later. I am sure that he is a great leader.
2016 Presidential candidates Donald Trump and Hilary Clinton have exuberantly managed to provide us with perhaps the most unorthodox mockery of a presidential election ever seen in modern day history. Why? Because this was an election based virtually on circumstance.
