US Presidents who exploited their powers?

Question

Name TWO presidents who exploited their presidential powers and give an example, for each, of how they did it.

And please provide me examples that is evident.

Answer 1

umm...George Herbert Walker Bush (fighting Iraq to stop them from stealing Kuwait's oil, then we con Kuwait into selling us oil at discount prices for helping them) and............umm...George Walker Bush (no explanation necessary).

Answer 2

I think those who say Bush are quite ignorant and have little insight on what abuse is. With that said there is Richard Nixon. He abused his power in a lot of different ways. He crossed the line and thought he was a King instead of an elected leader by trying to stop investigations launched by the justice department. Another who exploited his power was Lyndon Johnson. His decisions and deceit caused young American service men their lives for years. He abused his power as President and left the office in shame. It is sad that honor is seldom associated for the office of The President.

Answer 3

Andrew Jackson did not follow the Supreme Courts ruling when the Cherokee nation went before the Supreme Court to keep the land they lived on.(Think about that last sentence for a minute) Anyway Jackson's comment was "John Marshall(Chief Justice) has made his decision, now let him enforce it". Meaning that he was going to ignore the Supreme Courts ruling. It would be like Row vs Wade(im pro-life by the way) and the Supreme Court votes to allow abortion but the President lets the states continue to prosecute millions of women and charge them with murder and these go to jail or face execution after the Supreme Court of the United States they broke no law. He really almost messed our country up by doing that by nearly toppling our checks and balances system and that is why he was one of the best Presidents in his time but one of the worst Presidents ever in this time and all time.

I really can not think of any President exploiting their powers but I can tell the Congress that shut down the US goverment about 10 years ago was on the verge of true treason and in other times could have been charged with treason for their actions.

Lincoln Suspending writ of habeas corpus in Civil War

Answer 5

Answer 6

i don't think of "colonize" is nice. oftentimes our overseas coverage is designed to assist our economic gadget, or a minimum of a few sector of our economic gadget. many situations our protection force/CIA intervention in a u . s . would properly be straight away suitable to company interests. that's genuine for lots of our excursions in South u . s . of america, the Pacific Rim, northern Europe, South Africa, and now we've moved on to the subsequent untapped holy land of exploitable state-managed aspects, the middle East. the final wish is that the position capitalism (or a minimum of a few perverted type of it) is going, democracy is going with it. That makes it a lot less complicated to promote to the human beings. we are no longer looting different international locations, we are "spreading democracy". if truth be told democracy does no longer continuously take root, notwithstanding the companies continuously get their income. to make sparkling, because the guy less than properly factors out it really does count on a even as reference, my statements communicate over with the previous 40 years or so.
