president

They've chopped down cherry trees and waged full-on war. Riding the highs and lows of the leaders who've tried to Make America Great Again.

To Our Government
To my Government. Actually... to all governments. We are dying out here. But I think you know that. I think, so long as girls keep having babies, you don't have a reason to care that we, the people, are dying out here.

President Attacks Rather than Addresses Congress in First State of the Union
February 26th (Washington, D.C.) – A few short weeks after making a request to do so, the President was able to appear before a joint-session of Congress to give a State of the Union address. However, this was a speech unlike any given since becoming formally known by that name in 1947—which coincidently was the first time the speech was broadcast on television. The last President to have a State of the Union during their first year in office was John F. Kennedy—although his successor Lyndon B. Johnson had one after Kennedy was assassinated and Gerald Ford also had one when Richard Nixon resigned. However, according to a Congressional Research Service report (https://fas.org/sgp/crs/misc/R44770.pdf) on the history of the State of the Union:

Our Precious Democracy
Over the past few days, I’ve been reading the book I Alone Can Fix It: Donald J. Trump’s Catastrophic Final Year by Carol Leonnig and Philip Rucker. Well, I’ve been having Alexa read it to me while I play Minecraft or work on other projects in an attempt to finally tackle my ever-growing “books to read” list. Though I do read plenty, it seems the combo of audiobooks and Minecraft is excellent for calming the anxiety within this mildly dyslexic individual.

Can Peter Obi Make History?
The former Governor of Anambra State is known to be one of the first persons in the Nigerian system who has successfully used the court to reclaim his rightful mandate stolen by some "powerful" personalities in the society in the previous election which he partook in. In April 2022, he left the People's Democractic party for the Labour party where he contested in the primary election of the latter party and won as the party's presidential candidate. It was widely viewed by his opponents that he wouldn't make much difference in the election as he would barely get votes in the election as most of his loyalists are few young persons who are allegedly relating majorly in a room and on twitter; they are regarded as completely inconsequential in changing the narrative of the election.

President "Can't Understand" Government
February 5th (Washington, D.C.) – Who is in the President’s Cabinet? Amazingly, it is a question that has never been answered because the “Cabinet” is not an organization that was created by the Constitution or any law. The only relevant clause of the Constitution (Article 2 § Section 2 § Clause 1) says that the President may require the opinion of the “principal Officer in each of the executive Departments, upon any Subject relating to the Duties of their respective Offices....” President George Washington interpreted this to mean he could create a working committee that regularly advised him, and it has been a tradition maintained by every subsequent President since then.
