Trump shouldn’t be president because he has a degree in finance rather than Law. I believe that to be president you should have to have multiple degrees like obama who has four law degrees. The president of the united states should be highly educated and if you 're not I don 't believe you qualified to be president Donald Trump also shouldn’t be president because of what he said about banning muslims.

A More Perfect Election: The Presidential campaign may be the most popular and important elections in the United States of America. With the President running for a term of four-years and then a possible second term for an additional four-years.
“Hardball” by Chris Matthews challenged my perspective on how politics works. Before reading Hardball, I knew that money and advertising played large roles in presidential elections. However, after reading Hardball, I have come to understand that rather than simply being a single factor out of many, money, advertising, and retail politics control almost all of any major election. The best candidate may not always win, but the candidate with the most corporate backing, funds, and connections will.

We must keep in mind that every presidential election since the 12th Amendment was added in 1804 has been running accordingly to the rules of the Electoral College. Even though it may be known to be an “outdated and undemocratic framework” as mentioned on a newspaper article found on dailynebraskan.com—changing the rules to a complete new system will change the game. If the Electoral College has made it this far I believe it is for a reason—because it has served to elect forty-four presidents, many of them good, some great, and only a few disasters. It has ultimately created the balance we need in our political order. And l could not agree more with what Gary L. Gregg II said, “we should not gamble what we have in chasing after abstract dreams and ideological agendas.
Since 1789, the process in which the President of the United States was to be selected was established in the United States Constitution. Article II of the Constitution determines that the President will not be determined by popular vote, but rather by the Electoral College. The Electoral College is comprised of 538 electors. This number is determined by the amount of Senators and House Representatives each state has. When voters vote, they are not voting for president.
The Presidential Elections have started, which means that many Americans will have the opportunity to decided who will replace the current president of the United States, Barack Obama. There are many candidates running to become president of the United States in 2016 from both the democratic and the republican parties. Both parties have very interesting nominees such as Hillary Clinton or Bernie Sanders from the democratic party or Donald Trump from the republican party who vows to make “America Great Again.” Even though these candidates seem like interesting people to do a presidential report on because of their background or such outlandish plans , the candidate whom I have inclined for and decided to do my presidential report on and who

In November 2016, the republican Donald Trump won the presidential election against Hillary Clinton. Although Clinton won the popular votes with 48.2% over Trumps 46.1%, Trump still won the electoral college votes and thus he became the next president of the superpower America. How could a businessman beat an experienced politician in the presidential election? Not only did the Republicans win the Presidential election, but the Congressional election as well.

Problems, or adversity, has occurred in everyone’s life at some point, but there are certain qualities that not only conquer adversity but create great leaders in the process. It takes the opportunity to become your own leader in order to overcome adversity and many qualities help provide this opportunity. However, by exercising these qualities, ordinary people show great potential by demonstrating these qualities in difficult times. Leaders from both the past and the present have conquered adversity using qualities such as resilience, courage, and motivational skills and have risen to be well respected leaders in their own aspects of life.
The United States hinges on the statues of a democracy, right? At least that is what the founding fathers envisioned. However, the Electoral College, the United States presidential voting system, has made various notable figures and scholars question its use in modern day society. I strongly contend that the Electoral College is not a legitimate and effective vehicle for electing presidents. Although the Electoral College is a foundational aspect of the US government, it needs to be reexamined, amended, or replaced with, perhaps, a direct voting system, in spite of those that argue that a direct voting system would allow too much large power to the states (Limbaugh, 2000).
The 2016 Presidential election has already set out to be the most one of the most historical election to date. Nominees Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump have been doing everything in their power to obtain the Victory. While many citizens may agree that both are unqualified to be president. The 3rd party candidates are trailing by a huge margin in the race to become the next president of the United States of America. The choices come to down to either one of the two democratic and republican nominees’.
Republicans historically support unity and are altruistic however, Donald Trump supports none of these core principles. He will discriminate according to your race and religion, and he believes that helping other countries without any benefit to Americans is not a good investment of his time and money, therefore Trump is not a traditional republican.
