The Appropriate Use Of A United States Presidential Pardon
[ send me this essay ]
10 pages in length. The powers inherent to America's highest political office are both grand and far-reaching to such an extent that decisions are made and policy is upheld that exists nowhere else. Inasmuch as upholding the office of United States president innately affords one the opportunity to wield certain power privileges as supported by the Constitution, one of these advantage – as written in Article II, Section II of this historical document – states how the president "shall have Power to Grant Reprieves and Pardons for Offenses against the United States, except in Cases of Impeachment" (U.S. Constitution). According to Ashley M. Steiner's "Remission Of Guilt Or Removal Of Punishment? The Effects Of A Presidential Pardon," however, there is a great deal of concern over the reason presidential pardons existed in the first place. Was it included as a means by which to "blot out all guilt for a crime" (Steiner 959) or merely to "remove the punishment for the crime" (Steiner 959)? Either way, the historic perspective of presidential pardons – both public and private – has often been less than flattering. Bibliography lists 11 sources.

[ send me this essay ]
This 30 page paper considers the varying perspectives on the assassination of John F. Kennedy.

This paper further supports this second theory, based on the lack of solid forensic evidence to support the first theory and the elements that support the theory of Mafia involvement.

The Bush Administration
[ send me this essay ]
A 15 page paper discussing the management technique of this president. President George Bush is maligned by some, labeled ineffective by others. In retrospect, there were telling signs that Bush was a president of a single facet, that of foreign policy. His domestic policies often were the victims of systemic inadequacies in the administration. Of course a single person cannot "run" the government, and his success largely depends on his ability to exercise sound management and surround himself with good people. George Bush was deficient in both areas. Bibliography lists 11 sources.
