Politics and government of
the United States

The President of the United States is the head of state and head of government of the United States and is the highest political official in United States by influence and recognition. The President leads the executive branch of the federal government; his or her role is to enforce national law as given in the Constitution and written by Congress. Article Two of the Constitution establishes the President as commander-in-chief of the armed forces and enumerates powers specifically granted to the President, including the power to sign into law or veto bills passed by both houses of Congress. The President also has the power to create a cabinet of advisers and to grant pardons or reprieves. Finally, with the "advice and consent" of the Senate, the President is empowered to make treaties and appoint federal officers, ambassadors, and federal judges, including Justices of the Supreme Court. As with officials in the other branches of the United States government, the Constitution restrains the President with a set of checks and balances designed to prevent any individual or group from taking absolute power.

The President is elected indirectly through the United States Electoral College to a four year term, with a limit of two terms imposed by the Twenty-second Amendment to the Constitution, ratified in 1951. Under this system, each state is allocated a number of electoral votes equal to the size of the state's delegation in both houses of Congress combined. The District of Columbia is also granted electoral votes, per the Twenty-third Amendment to the Constitution. Voters in nearly all states choose, through a plurality voting system, a presidential candidate who receives all of that state's electoral votes. A simple majority of electoral votes is needed to become President; if no candidate receives that many votes, the election is thrown to the House of Representatives, which votes by state delegation.

Since the adoption of the Constitution, forty-two individuals have been elected or succeeded into the presidency, serving fifty-five four-year terms altogether. Grover Cleveland served two non-consecutive terms and is counted as both the 22nd and the 24th president. Because of this, all presidents after the 23rd have their official listing increased by one. Current President George W. Bush, the forty-third President, was inaugurated on January 20, 2001 to a first term and on January 20, 2005 to a second term, which expires at noon on January 20, 2009. Barack Obama, having won the 2008 presidential election, is expected to be inaugurated shortly after noon.

1. The 22nd amendment of America
November 21, 2008

On February 27th, 1951, the 22nd amendment was ratified which made permanent a tradition that has profound influence on the philosophy of government in the United States of America. This amendment may not be the most well known amendment but its place in the fabric of American history cannot be overstated. That is because the 22nd Amendment mandated that… No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice, and no person who has held the office of President, or acted as President, for more than two years of a term to which some other person was elected President shal...

2. The Top Five United States Presidents
November 17, 2008

Deciding on who the top five Presidents are is certainly no easy task. Each of the U.S presidents of this country served their nation as best as they could.

The easiest President to choose as one of the top five Presidents is George Washington. As the first President of the United States, George Washington served from 1789-1797.

November 17, 2008

There have been many Presidents of the United States since the Declaration of Independence was signed in 1776, but few people realize that the Presidential history also includes a series of Presidents who lead the Colonies long before the United States was founded as a free nation. Even though the colonies were controlled by King George III, the Congress which governed the colonies under the King was lead by a President. By the time July 2, 1776 rolled around and the Declaration of Independence was signed, the colonies had already had two Presidents, Peyton Randolph and Henry Middleton. Joh... (read more)

8. 1933 Gold Double Eagle Coins Are A Collector's Dream
November 12, 2008

One of the most sought after gold coins in the history of coin collecting and investing is the 1933 Gold Double Eagle coin. This beautiful gold coin was last issued in 1933. Minted from the California Gold Rush to the early 1930s, the Double Eagles ceased production in the United States under the direction of President Franklin D. Roosevelt and the Gold Reserve Act of 1934, which made it illegal for private individuals to possess gold coins for use in general circulation. The exception to the rule was for those who collected coins. The Gold Reserve Act served to severely limit the use of... (read more)

9. Who are "They" Anyway? Who are "They" Anyway?
November 12, 2008

We may never know who "they" are but we do know "they" prevailed. When it comes to politics the game is the same everywhere. From the smallest of town meetings to the president of the United States, the game is the game. If anyone should come before the electorate who threatens the status quo, "they" immediately begin to do whatever is necessary to take that candidate down. If that candidate should prevail and win, "they" simply continue to undermine and prohibit the winner's ability to get anything of substance accomplished. This tactic leaves the candidate frustrated with the system and... (read more)

11. The Future of the Labor Movement
November 07, 2008

As election day draws near, it appears extremely likely that Barack Obama will be elected the next President of the United States. In addition, there is a general consensus, even among Republicans, that the Democrats will pickup seats in congress and may even obtain a “filibuster proof” majority in the Senate. Currently, the Democrats have 49 seats in the Senate. In addition to those 49 seats, there are 2 independents, Joe Lieberman and Bernard Sanders, who caucus with the Democrats, effectively giving them a 51 seat majority. However, in order to get anything done in the Senate, 60 votes... (read more)

November 06, 2008

The votes have been tallied. Barack Obama is the 44th president of the United States. America has figuratively married the dem’s most secular liberal and the honeymoon is now underway. Will it work? On election night Fox News showed a clip of a young African American woman saying that she knew that if she needed a tank of gas or help with her mortgage payments Obama would help her. It was pitiful to watch but not altogether that far removed from the fantasy notions running through the heads of many naïve Obama supporters.

It’s almost over. The history-making, record-breaking, media driven, polarizing, seemingly endless campaign for 44th President of the United States will end in a matter of days. The Democratic and Republican candidates are set, save for a final round of stumping. Barring the unforeseen, the next leader of the free world will be Barack Obama, a Rational Mastermind, or John McCain, an Artisan Promoter.

October 20, 2008

The Ramones. It seems that they were inspired by Paul McCartney, who used Ramone as a surname; then all the members of the band adopted this surname despite not being related. The logo was designed by Arturo Vega, sometime in the 70s; the concept was based on the Seal of the President of United States of America. The names of the band members replace the original legend around the eagle which holds an apple tree branch and a baseball bat instead of the olive tree branch and the arrows. Vega's inspiration came after seen them performing in Washington DC. The Who. While brainstorming f... (read more)
