Section 1 establishes the office of the President and the Vice-President, and sets their terms to be four years. Presidents are elected by the Electoral College, whereby each state has one vote for each member of Congress. Originally, the President was the person with the most votes and the Vice-President was the person with the second most, though this is later changed. Certain minimum requirements are established again, such as a 35-year minimum age. Presidents must also be a natural-born citizen of the United States. The President is to be paid a salary, which cannot change, up or down, as long as he in is office. Section 2 gives the President some important powers. He is commander-in-chief of the armed forces and of the militia (National Guard) of all the states; he has a Cabinet to aid him, and can pardon criminals. He makes treaties with other nations, and picks many of the judges and other members of the government (all with the approval of the Senate). Section 3 establishes the duties of the President: to give a state of the union address, to make suggestions to Congress, to act as head of state by receiving ambassadors and other heads of state, and to be sure the laws of the United States are carried out. Section 4 briefly discusses the removal of the President, called impeachment. Obama's inability to serve the Presidency is similar to a circle. In his case, it's vast and moreover, has no beginning or end. If Congress were to consider articles of impeachment, they wouldn't know where to begin. If his career were a dart board, you could close your eyes and score pretty-much anywhere the dart landed. Regardless, it's difficult to understand why Congress allows this preposterous behavior to continue. I need to look up 'constitution' in the thesaurus where I expect its synonym to be 'irrelevant.' |

If only. Instead, and entire segment of the population is being marginalized and punished for actually demanding accountability to the document that defines the guy's job description. Dumbfounding. |
