CHAPTER 10; CONGRESS

Congress in the rein of president

In the United States, president's authority has grown out of control. This is not just one
rogue presidency; the office as a whole has broken loose and threatening to enslave american
republic. However, by altering a single federal statute, Congress can reestablish the
lost equilibrium (Monaghan). A legislation can be vetoed by the President inside the executive
authority, but it can be overridden by the legislative body with just enough majority. The
legislative body, or Congress, has the authority to implement Presidential appointments, regulate
the finances, and convict and terminate the President from power.

Constitutional reforms to limit the term of the president

The Amendment XXII of the U.S Constitutions confers limits on a person's qualification

for elections to the position of President of the United States to 2 terms and provides extra
qualifying conditions for presidential candidates who accede to the unfulfilled terms of
respective forebears (Ginsberg et al.). Anyone who's been voted into office of the President twice
is ineligible to run again, according to the constitutional amendment. A person who serves an
unfulfilled president's election of much more than 2 years is also barred from becoming voted
into office of the President more than once underneath the amendment in the constitution.

Scholarly views on the term limit on the election of the president

Researchers argue whether the amendment means application to all electoral process or

just presidential race. According to (Posner and Young), constitutional amendment battles have
sometimes aided organizational loyalty in young republics. Despite the fact that presidential
nominees who circumvent fixed terms through these legal routes are theoretically following the
law. (Omotola) claims that they are violating democratic institutions, striving forward into
individuality, and might be promulgating new types of neopatrimonialism by abusing public
funds for term extension initiatives.
