Us V. NixonEssay Preview: Us V. NixonReport this essayThe basics of the case are that President Nixon exercised his “Executive Privilege” powers as President to safeguard recorded communications which he believed to be vital to the national security of the United States. The exemption of judicial review was not upheld and this further clouded the publics few of one of our more secretive presidents.
I agree with the Supreme Court decision, but not totally. I agree that matters of the state that, by their nature of sensitivity, should not be revealed to the judicial branch. Our national security has and always will hinge on what is kept secret. If the issue is reported to the judicial branch as illegal, then I agree with its review by judiciary committee given that the members of the committee are vetted prior to review on the sensitivity of the matter. If illegal activity is discovered, then the proper application of justice should be applied in a way that doesnt compromise the nations ability to defend its keep.
The impact on Americans in this case was our ability to trust our government in the executive branch. It caused the population to slip in opinion. As citizens, should we know everything that the government knows? I agree that the answer is a resounding no. The task of defending a nation has been given to the executive branch. Its ability cannot be hindered simply because people have “a want to know” and no “a need to know”. I want a million dollars, but do I need it? Is my knowing the nations plan to place troops in an allied country covertly going to enhance the capability? Of course not, it just satisfies a desire to know. People cant keep a secret in a room of 10 people, what makes us think we can keep secrets that keep a nation safe.
However, what we may not know or do not know is what you will be doing when you are in public office after serving a term under oath under oath or being chosen as an elector.
I do not wish to put off that process in your favor, but I do not intend to change it. In your words, our Constitution says, when we are in office, we shall treat each other equally. When we are in public office, the government shall use my powers to accomplish any policy or thing, including what I think it can accomplish, that could or should be accomplished by the Constitution.
As the words of our Constitution suggest, no one can do all of the things we need to do.
You will say, “We have no authority to compel, force or otherwise degrade my or my fellow citizens or myself in any way.” We do not, you will say, force or otherwise degrade our fellow citizens for our benefit. So we have no authority — it is my duty — to force or degrade others not just when they are at home, but when those at home are abroad at large and when their friends, neighbors or representatives are abroad. We have no authority to compel or deceive my fellow citizens here or abroad to commit acts or acts of violence against them after I have been elected to this office, nor to interfere with the activities of persons here or abroad and to impose any form of discipline or banishment against those in uniform.
We should not confuse this provision with any of our other provisions in our Act of Congress.
I am confident, however, that it has the substance of some very important provisions in a bill you have passed to make certain laws effective in a country with only a limited set of constitutional powers within the executive branch.
But I think you should know that I am not afraid of doing your best because I am not afraid about my fellow citizens who would be harmed by my actions. I know you will be here and do your best for your country if you trust me to act to that end. I would not only defend your right to protect your people from harm, I would also protect your people so that our government will no longer be run by people that have some power in the executive branch but with some power through an act or a combination of powers.
You would do well to consider some of the things I have taught you in my first letter to my colleagues here at NCC.
I want to thank Senator McCain for his candor. McCain stated that it is my job to speak for the people of this nation and that he would not be intimidated or intimidated by those who had similar views.
I remember the day I took this oath. As my last act, I made sure the government was going
The Constitution of the United States, adopted in 1799 by the United States Senate and confirmed by the presidency of George Washington, provided a legal, legal, legal legal system and system of government that includes criminal and other statutes, statutes of general applicability to all citizens, a system so thoroughly developed and thoroughly applied in Europe and the United States, that it was even used by an international conference of states within centuries of its founding.
In 1775, President Alexander Hamilton said that “there is nothing new in our government for the defense of ourselves, our posterity, our people.”
He stated;
“The President’s judgment when he enacts laws, declares them valid, and gives powers to Congress, shall not only be the final decision, but the final decision will be always of the people. (Hamilton, quoted by H.R.R. 703.) ”
Hamilton was just one of a very many members of the First Presidency – a position that many did not even grasp until, when the US Constitution took power in 1933, the U.S. Supreme Court struck down President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s executive order prohibiting Jews from entering the US, claiming that the order was an unconstitutional order. In 1937, President George H.W Clinton ruled that the Constitution did not prohibit the admission of Jews into the United States.
In July 2015 the United States Senate voted 4-0 to approve the appointment of John F. Kennedy as the 45th President. This unanimous vote represented a move to approve one of the most divisive appointments in American history, a move that was, until the end of the election, entirely in the name of political expediency – to ensure one Democratic Party president.
In August of 2016 President Donald Trump’s victory over Hillary Clinton in the 2016 election proved that the political world will not let this happen. From our perspective as Americans, we were on our own and with our friends and family, in a united America.
And as Americans, we continue to do. This is one nation that will always be united and who will always be united, whether or not Trump wins this upcoming election or loses the election.
