The President Of The United States

Throughout the years we have had some great United States presidents and some terrible ones. When we elect a president, we want someone who will improve our country and stabilize our economy. However, many presidents do not accomplish this during their term and end up causing the opposite effect to happen. One president who is on the list of presidents that made the country worse and our economy decline is George W. Bush. He was the United States president from 2001 to 2009. George W. Bush was one of the worst United States presidents for many reasons, but the top three on my long list are first and foremost his decision to start the war on Iraq, second his support of the Military Commissions Act, and last but not least his handling of the Hurricane Katrina disaster.

In 1941, the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor, and in the act of “revenge”, we bombed Hiroshima and Nagasaki, devastating the Japanese people. Harry Truman was not justified in his decision to use the atomic bombs against the Japanese and caused them to be victims. For, the Japanese already accepted that they were defeated and ready to surrender, Truman's goal of ending the war did not happen and instead started another war while horror swept the entire world, and it was very inhumane, many innocent Japanese lives were taken.

There have been forty-four Presidents of the United States and most people can only name a few. One of the lesser known presidents is known as John Quincy Adams who was President from March 4, 1825 to March 4, 1829. His fame may have been enriched by the fact that he was the first son of a president to become president. “Quincy” as he was called to avoid any confusion with his father John Adams, was one of the most qualified people to ever be elected into the White House. His six years (one term) in office saw both success and failure. John Quincy Adams as Secretary of State had quite a few successes, but also had several failures as President; however, his Presidency led to the most successful post-Presidency in the history of the United States.

The man we now call the president of the United States, Donald J Trump has recently made comments about decisions that might happen in this country. The disturbing comments has affected many families emotionally, mentally, and physically especially our families who are illegal immigrants. The new president has made accusations of deporting all illegal immigrants in this country, including our younger generation of immigrants who immigrated to this country as children by the decision of their parents, the younger generation of immigrants are also known as our dreamers, DACA students. The article, “Rethinking Immigration Reform” written by Mike Coffman a Republican who represents Colorado’s 6th Congressional District, argues that the

When Harry Truman was elected in 1945, he was very unaware of the extreme war-like conditions and decisions that he would have to make during his term as president. When World War II had started, it became his mission to defeat the great world powers of Germany, Italy and most importantly, Japan in order to put the war to an end. Nearing the end of the war, when the United States and their allies had almost put an end on the fighting, all Truman for victory was Japan to surrender. Japan at the time, however, was not willing to surrender, willing to fight until every last man was dead. Since their army was north of two million strong, the United States needed to take drastic measures to end the war and save U.S. soldiers’ lives. Harry Truman’s

On September 11, 2001, America was attacked by terrorists. Before this traumatic event, one could not even imagine someone doing such a thing. When this event occurred everyone had been unaware and continuing their daily activities only to be stopped by this life changing news. The president at the time was George W. Bush. Doing day to day activities like the rest of us, he was reading to a second grade class that bright Tuesday morning. Upon hearing about the news, he was utterly shocked along with the rest of America. At approximately 8:40 p.m., which is around 12 hours after the event, he gave a speech to address this horrendous event. President Bush had successfully created a sense of unity and security throughout the country with his speech by using ethos, pathos, logos, tone and imagery.

The government in the United States has three branches, which are executive, legislative and judicial. The United States of America declared the independence from Britain since 1976. Since success of revolution, the United States founded their first government in 1789 with following ideas: freedom, liberty, democracy. Until now, the United States have more than forty presidents indirectly elected by civilian citizens. Presidents will be reelected every four years. Changing in presidents will also change ideas about the role of government. Barry Goldwater, Lyndon Johnson, Ronald Reagan and Barack Obama these four renowned presidents demonstrated their different views on establishing government with four speeches in 1964, 1965, 1981 and

In mid 1945 new president Harry Truman had the fate of the United States of America and the world in his hands. Truman faced the biggest decision of his life that would greatly impact not only World War II but the entire concept of war. Truman had to decide whether to use technology that had never been used on man before to obliterate two Japanese cities. On August 6th the first atomic bomb was dropped on Hiroshima, Japan killing over 100,000 Japanese people. Three days later the second bomb was dropped on Nagasaki, Japan killing up to eighty thousand. Only six days after the last atomic bomb was dropped the Japanese announced their unconditional surrender to the United States. Since then historians have asked the question of weather Truman

A politician’s career is like a roller coaster. They face ups and downs with achievements and disappointments. Through the eyes of the media, politicians are watched by the public and need to make good choices for their constituents and the region they represent. The President of the United States is put under enormous pressure, and is counted on to make the best decisions for the country. Throughout Ronald Reagan’s two terms as president, he was both praised and criticized by American citizens. Many policies and choices he made benefited society, while some others hurt his image. Based on the information from Chris Matthews’ book Hardball, Ronald Reagan went through peaks and valleys during his presidential terms, both gaining and losing public support.

In April 12, 1945 President Roosevelt dies suddently and by law Truman became president of USA. He had to make a quick decision to end up world war so he warned Japan about atomic bomb. Even though Germany surrended on May 8, 1945, Japan refused to surrender. On August 6, 1945 an atomic bomb exploded over Hiroshima, Japan and destroyed the city of Nagasaki. On September 2, 1945 japan surrended and WWII ended.

Truman is now in charge and is left with one of the President Franklin Roosevelt greatest secrets, The Manhattan Project. Which was the creation of the Atomic Bomb which led Truman to deal with it on his own. The United States had to plan out what their next move was going to be to take Japan. President Truman of the Unites States of America and his advisors thought of ways to take Japan, one being a land invasion a similar attack when the U.S. took Germany other keep bombing it and wait for Russian help. The Japanese invasion was likely to cost a half-million Allied and Japanese lives plus Soviet lives too, all in, what should have been the last months of the war. Which led to the decision which would determine the fate of the war. The United States’ decision to drop the bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki was strictly a military measure designed to force the unconditional surrender of Japan in order to prevent a negative effect on American civilians and to prevent potential conflict between peaceful

The responsibility of dropping the bombs rests on the shoulders of a President Truman, an inequivalent President filling the void of the late Franklin D. Roosevelt. Truman fresh into office heard the various arguments from the military officers, political advisors, scientist, and civilian experts lobbying for their input to be heard in the debate on the decision to use nuclear bombs against Japan in the summer of 1945. After the fall of Nazi Germany in May 1945 the Joint Chiefs of Staff, JCS, predicted that Japan would fall in an additional 18- months of war.

In 1945, following the surrender of Germany to the Allied Forces on May seventh, a series of dialogues occurred between Harry Truman, Joseph Stalin, and Winston Churchill at the Potsdam Conference as to how to end the war in the Pacific. The Potsdam Conference was Truman’s first major meeting with Churchill and Stalin, as he came into power after Roosevelt’s death in April of 1945. President Harry Truman had two viable options for defeating Japan; a mainland invasion with the aid of the Soviet Union, or using the recently tested atomic bomb on Japanese soil. When making his decision of which method to use, Truman considered the fierceness with which the Japanese protected their territories, the implications of each situation on Truman’s negotiating power with Stalin, and the speed at which each option would would bring the war to an end. The American liberation of Japanese islands in the Pacific had proven to be very slow and militarily challenging, which served as an indicator of the difficulties and scale of casualties that a mainland invasion may involve. With the option of the atomic bomb, there would be no need for American military intervention, meaning virtually no American casualties. If Truman were to choose land invasion, he would need Stalin’s help, giving Stalin power to make demands of Truman and Churchill. With the use of the atomic bomb, Truman recognized that Stalin’s requests would not need to be met as the Soviet Union would not have any involvement in the

President Harry S. Truman took office in the year 1945, just a few weeks before Germany surrendered but war with the Japaneses Empire continued. The United States wanted to end the war as soon as possible and it seemed an invasion of the Japanese Home Islands would be the only way until President Truman was notified of the success of the Manhattan Project. The Manhattan Project had created the atomic bomb and President Truman decided to use it. Japanese cities Hiroshima and Nagasaki were bombed on August 6 and 9, 1945 and thousands of Japanese Civilians lost their lives. This has become one of the most controversial topics in history and questions arise whether it was necessary

Imagine, being the President of the United States, the war with Germany is over, but the Japanese would not sign an unconditional surrender. Japan refused to surrender because they wanted to be an industrial power. They were attempting to become a world power, by overtaking other countries, taking more living space and resources for their country Japan, a member of the League of Nations, was condemned for their actions. The Japanese did not appreciate being condemned for their actions, so they eventually left the League of Nations. Japan was so desperate to honor their culture, that they were willing to do whatever it cost to fight for their homeland, including fighting to the death. Truman made the decision to drop the atomic bomb to
