Executive Power

Executive Power:http://www.swamppolitics.com/news/politics/blog/2009/02/obama_iraq_troops.html

Article 2, The Executive Branch, Section 1, clause 1
"The executive power shall be vested in a President of the United States of America. He shall hold his office during the term of four years, and, together with the Vice President, chosen for the same term."

The power of the Executive branch is in the hands of the President. Our current President Barack Obama has full responsibility of running the nation. He has the Power to veto bills passed to him. He has the final say in whether we go to war or not.

This article clearly demonstrates Article 2, Section 1, Clause 1 of the United States Constitution. The President is in control of the whole nation and he has to decide what is best for the people and our country. Most of the governments power comes from The Executive Branch. Barack shows his power by saying that he will bring the troops home by august of 2010. This is a demonstration of articke 2 section 1 because there is no one else that has the power to pull the troops from war except for the President.

Not having a President would make things so much harder for the people of the United States. If we didnt have a President I think things would be chaotic. Everybody would be looking out for themselves and the Constitution itself would be irrelevant. I feel there would be no need for the Constitution if there was no President because the people would not abide by the ammendmants. If there was no President there would not be that one level of the government to make sure everything is fair for the people. I feel as if there was no President then the United States would probably end up in war with ourselves.
