...Do you think America needs a female president? If so, Hillary Rodham Clinton is the right choice for the next U.S President. Hillary Clinton is mostly known to the public as Bill Clinton’s wife and later his first- lady. But after Bill Clinton's presidential run, she has made a name for herself as the Secretary of State and a Senator from New York. Her name often crops up when talking about the 2016 presidential race as someone who could possibly be the first woman president of the United States. Hillary Clinton has made some great accomplish in her life, and she deserves to be the next president. Hillary Clinton needs to be the next president because of her experience, it’s time that we need a female president, and she has a plan to raise American incomes. Hillary Clinton should become the president because she has the experience as a U.S Senator, First Lady, Secretary of State, and one of the most influential lawyers of her time. When Clinton was the Secretary of State, she had made many great accomplishment. For example, she restored America’s reputation in the world when America's credibility overseas had been badly damaged after years of unpopular American-led wars in the Middle East. She went out and helped many countries that she possibly could. Another great thing she did was help girls all around the world. She stood up against sex trafficking, which helped girls reach their potentials. She helped women gain access to market, credit, and training; she made sure all...

...What If Hillary Clinton Had Won? David C. Grof Strayer University SOC300 What If Hillary Clinton Had Won? There’s no denying, if any woman was to run for president, it should be Hillary Clinton. More women actively listened to the debates and paid attention now that there was a woman standing before them running for president. If Hillary Clinton won the presidential election of 2008, she would have shattered the glass ceiling that has kept so many women from running for president before her. The United States Congress has a low number of women in its ranks. This is partially because we don’t have quotas and actually vote (instead of women being appointed). However, I think Hillary Clinton would have motivated more women to become Senators and Representatives. I believe even in the local sector we would have found more women stepping up to take on roles such as governor or mayor. Right now, all the hype is about ObamaCare, but I do believe Hillary Clinton would have been just as concerned with a healthcare system for the country. The modern idea of having a female president would have been great for the future. Modernization isn’t always good for the present but in the long run it shows prosperity Women leaders are more likely to pass “women friendly” legislation. Being a woman, she probably would have focused on issues such as child care, abortion, education and divorce laws. She would have made women more aware of their rights and opportunities. Hillary Clinton...

...battle between Congress and the president has never stopped for even one second. The check and balance system guarantees both Congress and the president can oversee each other`s powers and veto its opponent`s decisions. Especially when the ideas come from female, Congress is always hard to be persuaded on these opinions. In the very beginning, there was no business related to women in this inherent war because those sexist founding fathers did not give voting right to female voters. After ladies got right to vote from the Amendment XIX of the Constitution, American women thought that they finally have same discourse power equal to men. However, actually, even in today, it is harder for any female candidate to compete for power than a male candidate. It is because that the whole government system, which includes legislative, executive, and judicial, is biased against women. And people can easily find the evidence from Hillary Clinton, Sarah Palin, and Elena Kagan`s experience and encounters. Congress had defeated Hillary Clinton`s healthcare bill when she was still First Lady. This tarnished her reputation considerably, and was looked upon as a rebuke from Congress. The 1993 reform of health care was considered a bill would be submitted by Congress by most citizens. However, after an over one year debate, neither the Senate nor the House wanted to enact First Lady`s proposal into the law. Republican senators Bob Dole and Phil Gramm smeared Ms. Clinton with many sexist words. Congress...

...IS HILLARY CLINTON preparing a run for the White House? Before pondering that timely question, consider another which may matter just as much. Why would any Democrat want to become president in 2016? Mrs Clinton is certainly giving people cause to ask the first question. Before too long, she will need to answer the second. On September 14th she headed to Iowa for the first time since her wounding defeat by Barack Obama in that state’s 2008 Democratic caucus. The former secretary of state, senator and First Lady made her return in a friendly, controlled setting. Accompanied by her husband, Bill, she was the guest star at the Harkin Steak Fry, a combined picnic, fundraiser and clan gathering for fans and friends of Tom Harkin, Iowa’s Democratic senator and an old-school New Deal populist. No national politician heads to Iowa on a whim. Winning Iowa’s first-in-the-nation presidential contest does not sew up the nomination. But losing Iowa badly (in 2008 Mrs Clinton came third behind Mr Obama and John Edwards, a caddish lawyer) can derail a campaign built round inevitability. Senator Harkin tried to consign that rejection to history, calling the Clintons America’s “comeback couple” and, to Iowa Democrats, “family”. Mr Harkin is retiring after 40 years in Congress. The Clintons were at pains not to overshadow their host. They used his-and-hers speeches to heap praise on Mr Harkin, bash Republicans and urge Democrats to vote in November’s mid-term elections. The lovely setting, a...

...President- (n.) The highest executive officer of a republic… The president of the United States should be someone who embodies its people’s ideals. They should lead in an honest, fair way and represent us wholeheartedly. Hillary Clinton would not be a fitting president as she is a hypocrite, a writer of her own rules, and a blatant liar. To begin, Hillary Clinton is the world’s biggest hypocrite. She publicly says one thing, and then she turns around and does the exact opposite. Mrs. Clinton has formally announced, multiple times, her devotion to women’s rights and abolishing the gender wage gap. It seems like an innocent claim. However, the Daily Caller did some digging in her public IRS filings. It turns out that male executives make about...

...The United States prides itself on being the beacon of equality around the world, especially with regard to politics. With the addition of the Fifteenth and Nineteenth Amendments to the constitution, every citizen has the right vote. Furthermore, everyone and anyone who meets the requirements can run for office. The election of President Obama was symbolic fulfilling these creeds. Why is it then that women are excluded from the conversation and politics at-large? What are the factors that deter women from running for public office in the United States? This paper examines the attacks made on then-candidate Hillary Clinton relating to her husband as a representation of the gender imbalance in politics in order to argue that societal perceptions about women and power prevent women from entering the American political landscape. In turn, women are underrepresented in government and therefore, struggle to change the very institutions that oppress them. The 2016 presidential election featured Donald Trump, a businessman without government experience, and Hillary Clinton, a former Secretary of State, United States Senator, and lawyer. Clinton was widely considered to be the most qualified person to run for the job on her own merits. All of...

...The President of the United States has to be strong, well-rounded, and a smart individual. The two candidates, Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump, both tried to portray these characteristics during the three Presidential Debates. By the third debate, many United States citizens finalized their decision on who to vote for on November 8th. In opinion, Hillary Clinton showed more confidence and dedication to this country, while Trump was boorish and tenacious. Although, Trump has some ideas that could benefit America, Clinton was more knowledgeable and perceptive. She has thirty plus years of experience in politics, including being the First Lady while her husband, Bill Clinton, was President. Because of this, Hillary Clinton has had an inside look...

...The Electoral College is a group of people appointed by each state who formally elect the president and vice president of the United States. The number of electors is equal to the total number of voting members in the US Congress: 435 representatives, 100 senators and 3 electors from the District of Columbia for a total of 538 electors. Both the democratic and republican candidate try to gain as many electors as they can in every state so that they have more than 270 elector votes, which is just over half of 538 and win the presidential election. Although in Nebraska and Maine, the electoral votes are assigned by proportional representation. This means one candidate can win 2 electoral votes, while the other votes are distributed making it...

...Hillary Clinton was born in Chicago, Illinois, where she once was a small business owner as a homemaker. Clinton was raised in a Republic family and faithfully attended Sunday school at her local Methodist church. She graduated from high school in 1965, and then went to Wellesley College. After graduating with her Political Science Degree on May 31, 1969, she received a seven-minute standing ovation for reaching her Academic goals. My knowledge of Hillary Clinton was that she was Bill Clinton’s wife, a senator, and that she campaigned to once be President. The reason I picked Mrs. Hillary Clinton, I know she is re-running to be our next president. I wanted to learn more about her as a person, because didn’t want to go in voting just picking her because she will make history like Obama did. I’ve come to idolize her as a person from my studies and one day hope to be like her. Clinton initiated Health Care Reforms, and is the creator of the Department of Justice’s Violence Against Women. The Violence Movement, reduced aggression toward women, and helped victims of violence. She gained significant influence and power over the Democratic Nomination in 2008, through her achievements. She is a great role model and a huge advocate of feminism for women at their finest I think because of her great accomplishments, she will become the first lady president, in the 2016 election. “There cannot be true democracy unless women’s voices are heard. There cannot be true democracy unless women...
