Introduction
President Bush and Congress are currently being faced with several issues that are arising from the position of the new democrats. This is giving the overall incumbent in the presidential seat great heat on how to manage the houses. As it is currently the political grounds are eminently changing as the global world changes. In the past decades, most voters were focused on economic progression. This was used as the means of campaigns by the politicians.
Today, economic policy factors are not applicable and political leaders are now changing the political arena by looking at the current focus of people’s future. Congress is tremendously being faced with enormous challenges in recent years concerning the center of cultural factors in life. This is causing a change in terms of approaching values of life. (Kakutani, 2007)
Main body
The major issue that are being raised and are of contentious social issues includes:-
Raising the minimum wages of the employee. This issue shows that a great percentage of people in the U.S earn less than expected. This is because politicians do preach the economic politic forgetting the prosperity of the pauper’s countrymen. People are now looking to have general income increments from the stagnant wages so that at least they can improve their social and cultural life. others issues that are arising are advocacy to protect social security, support of embryonic stem cell research, advocating for changing the course in Iraq, pro-life-religion and value of life, health-prescription drugs/health insurance.
The major program that President Bush is seeking to do in order to advance is to comply with some of the proposed positions of the above factors. He intends to be pro-life and calls for a constitutional amendment to ban gay marriage. In addition, he would face the challenge of health by committing himself to continue supporting the HIV/AIDS programs that will lead to end the plague. In terms of security, Bush alleges that the reconstruction efforts will be intensified in order to make Iraq a democratic country/state. The president supports the renewing and then strengthening of the patriotic act that leads to the creation of a national counter- center. He is pushing for the way forward towards the suggested recommendations in the act.
The president is the most senior, powerful, and influential person in the U. S. government has less effect on the law-making process. The mandate of the president allows him to make bills of the congress to be valid when he approves them. In his capacity, he recommends the written legislation by congress before the introduction of the bill for consideration. The president vetoes the bills hence it does not go into effect. The third option that the president does is to decide to do nothing with the bill and the successes of such bills are determined by the number of sessions the Congress has in the business. Generally, the success of the president relies on the congress that is not controlled by the president’s political party but is mostly under the people’s voices from the different senators and representatives.
Conclusion
The effectiveness of President Bush will not be too much credit for the last six years. this follows the fact that considering the project of war that began in Iraq, most Americans have filled terror of attacks and that his decision seemed to be in an away from a dictate rather than consultative. It is also vivid that the economic stand in America in the past few years is deteriorating hence people are seeming to change to the stereotype of life being experienced in the third country. This will automatically result in crucial criticisms from the entire world due to misuse of state property which will send his light-dark never to be recognized by many.
