Does government continue to function as it should, when the elected officials don't do their jobs???? Why would the American public allow this to continue? The second part of the question has to do with the current chapter...What are the characteristics of a good President? A leader? Do they quit before the game is over??
The government being as big and complex as it is doesn't fail when one government official does not do his or her job it merely follows a path of the other officials that are in control. Lets say the president decides to just stop and give up in the middle of his term, the government would not cease to work it would just fall into a sort of holding pattern and depending on what the representatives views or vice presidents views are it could be much different from the presidents. The government continues but the fresh ideas of the president aren't there.The president the people elected would be placed aside until that elected official is capable of doing his or her job. If we were to talk about the Supreme Court and one of the members didn't do their job of deciding a bill or passing a law then the decision that the American public thought would be fair and just would be in fact the complete opposite. This would in some way change the function of the government but it would make it uneven in a lot of ways. The only reason that the American public let this happen is because most cant stop it if they tried. If they saw their president dying or giving up in the middle of his term they cant do much of anything. The government will go on but the people who make this country how it is have very little say on what is happening on presidential decisions.
I first want to start with in my opinion what a good president should be. I believe a good president should first of all never back down even if his country hates his guts and he should do what he thinks right for the country. Most people HATED Bush because he brought us to war and say he ruined our goverment but people we have to understand that he was doing what he thought was right for the country and people elected him because they thought he was going to do right. I respect the man allthough I dont agree with some of the things he has done and see him as being a president in which holds his ground on what he thinks is right. Another thing that I love about a president is how he speaks! NOT! Personaly I dont care how he speaks or where the hell hes doing it I just want to here some fact, and I want to hear what he can do to make my life better, make our goverment and our counrty florish. Another thing that I like to see in a president is a sense of assurence. If that man can assurme me that he will fix the problem I almost allways belive them but doubts do cross my mind. Having an assuring president is nice but that nice kind "Ill fix your problem" doesnt allways work, there is only so much to spend and so much to do to make this country a place where I can raise my kids. haha thought I would give it a little patriotic feel at the end!
