The founding fathers idea for a great government was to distribute powers into branches that can also be balance and check by each other, which will also help them make the best decisions for their people. About two years ago, Obama put into place an executive action which protected about four million illegal immigrants from deportation. Since we were not able to deport all eleven million immigrants the Obama administration chose to help those that deserved to be here. They decided that the people that fell into that category were living in United States for several years, had not committed crimes and who have families here to take care of. It didn’t give anyone official legal status nor put them on the path to citizenship, because only congress can do that. …show more content…
Now the Supreme Court is deciding whether or not it will allow millions of undocumented immigrants to apply for programs that make them eligible for work authorization and benefits through the programs by the President. The President can make executive actions that effect the regulations of the governments issues, when he sees that congress is not taking action and that is what Obama did. The founding father made it difficult to create laws, they know if a person or group of people is given too much power then the government could be more easily manipulated so why do they want to over step an executive order, it that is why it was created
Expressed within the US Constitution is Congress' authority to write laws, while the Executive Branch is firmly restricted to enacting the laws. However, in 200 years' time, Executive power has consistently enacted arbitrary laws, and governed with unconstitutional agencies and czars. Greg Abbott's proposed Constitutional amendments recalibrate federal power by banning the executive branch from writing laws. The history of executive overreach is long and illustrious.
I agree with the Supreme Court on placing emphasizes on keeping the presidential power in check but respecting the doctrine of separation of powers. The Court has the power to hear cases that involve federal questions because the
Unlike many other Founding Fathers Alexander Hamilton was a fierce abolitionist who fought for the freeing of slaves. Growing up on the Sugar Island of St Croix made a lasting impression on Hamilton. He had early-exposure to the humanity of slaves and witnessed first-hand the atrocities that slaves endured. The import-export company which a juvenile Hamilton worked at sometimes dealt with slave ships. When this happened, it was part of Hamilton’s responsibility to inspect, groom and house the slaves.
The use of these powers determine if the president is going beyond the limits of the office. Many argue that the president has abused these powers with the use of the Unitary Executive Theory, which states that the Constitution puts the president in charge of executing the laws, and that nobody can limit the president’s power when it comes to executive powers. It therefore tips authority from Congress to the presidency, upsetting the power of checks and balances.
Alexander Hamilton began his life as a young boy living in the British West Indies. At the age of 11, Hamilton began working tirelessly to provide for his family. With time and experience, Hamilton started working with international commerce and slave trade. His boss, Hugh Knox, recognized his ambition and decided to send him to America. Hamilton attended King’s college, other known as Columbia University, and became more involved in politics.
I decided to pick Alexander Hamilton as my Alter Ego because not only is he one of the founding fathers, he has a broadway musical based on the course of his life. He was the son of James Hamilton, the fourth child of a Scottish Landowner, and Rachel Faucette Lavien. Although his birthplace and birthdate are unclarified, Alexander Hamilton and his family declared that he was born in the year 1757 in Nevis, British West Indies. By the age of fourteen, Alexander and his sixteen year old brother, James, lived the worst times of their lives. Their father disappeared, their mother died of a sickness, their cousin, who was their guardian, committed suicide, and their grandmother, aunts, and uncles had all passed away.
The very fact that some of the Founding Fathers had a membership in the freemason fraternity is important to highlight, both when they became a part of the federal government and before the Constitution and its amendments were ratified. One of these very inspiring men was George Washington. As one of the Founding Fathers it is highly likely that George Washington greatly influenced the founding of the United States and the writing of the Constitution thus, otherwise, he would not be considered a Founding Father. He had both, a great military background and amazing leadership that aided him during the Revolutionary War and the creation of the United States. It is very likely that George Washington’s leadership origin can be traced back to the
In the correspondence letters, the two founding fathers reminisced about their past relationship, talked about one another’s health and how things are changing as they were getting older. They then discussed their concerns about the Union and Christianity’s role in their liberty. They talked about religion and how the world would be without religion. I found their conversation about religion not being in this world interesting because they displayed their opinions and beliefs freely. In the end, I think they both realized it would be a bigger issues if religion was not in this world.
The founding fathers were smart men who the world looked up to because of their smart decisions, actions, that directed the U.S. to what it is today. But sadly in today’s society most people either have forgotten the things they did for us, or they just do not care. The founding fathers were great men who led this country to victory in war and on the political front. And often early U.S. history is portrayed as moving smoothly for the colonies turning into the a country of its own , but in reality it was just the opposite. George Washington our first president had problems figuring out ways to control the new nation as it progressed under his leadership.
The Founding Fathers created this great nation. When they did, they needed a foundation, a great strong city to start the pyramid of the future world power it is today. That foundation is a mid-eastern city called Washington District of Columbia, or D.C. for short. The story of this fine city is a long one, filled with history and events, which changed the world we know today. As our nation’s capital, the history of Washington, D.C. is important from the location, to the layout of the city, and the creation of its monuments and museums, which all give testimony to our great nation.
The extent to which executive power may be used by any individual president is often disputed. Executive power has gradually been expanding over the past years as each president interprets the lengths of boundaries. All of our presidents have impacted the fluctuation executive power, whether positively or negatively; however, President Obama had the greatest impact with the expansion of executive power by focusing on broadening human rights within our own nation, and also by helping the United States regain balance in the international community. Other nations are much farther in regards to human rights, and this remains an issue for the citizens of the United States for a couple reasons. President Obama has not only recognized this issue, but has worked to combat it, and as a result of this
Founding Fathers: Selfish or Selfless Founding Fathers, men that had risked their lives for our nation, so we could have our own independence. Their act was a great deed to the united states to make our nation come together, so we could improve our country. Our founding fathers were some of the greatest men to serve our country.
Obama’s Immigration Policy: Presidential Memos to order Deferred Action Within the last few years, immigration has been a huge topic for debate. Americans have seen a large increase in the numbers of immigrants, specifically illegal immigrants, over the last few decades. That has many citizens wondering what has changed. One of the most recent changes has to do with an executive policy known as deferred action.
Introduction The stories of the founding of the United States is legendary in many regards. History places it that America was found by a group of farmers who had local political experience. This group came together in one accord and in arms to go against the monarch and tyrant to become a self-governed state. In the words of these men, “all men are created equal,” a phrase that natural elicited men and women to risk their lives for freedom .
Most of the people in Qdoba thought that was smart, and that was followed up by someone saying that all ten of us should be the “Founding Fathers” of the club and anyone who wanted to join after us would have to go through a long process and never reach the status of a founding father. All of us laughed and agreed that was a great idea. We were going to be the ten people to call the shots when it came to this club, and that feeling of power was amazing. Carson also brought up the idea of creating t-shirts that really showed the club’s spirit, so we went to a t-shirt creating website and designed a shirt that had a midget standing on a burrito with the words ‘Founding Fathers’ on the front, and on the back would be the phrase ‘Every _ _ _ _ Wednesday’ (the blanks stood for a bad word, so we decided to
