First Lady

Roundsquare3: /* List of First Ladies */

The '''First Lady''' is the unofficial title given to the hostess of the White House, usually the wife of the [[President of the United States]] of America. The term is also sometimes used for the wife of a [[state]] [[governor]] or for the wife of a head of state of another country. When a sitting president is either a bachelor or a widower, or the wife is unable to fulfill the role of hostess, the role may be filled by another female relative. The current First Lady is [[Michelle Obama]].

The First Lady is an unusual position in the US, in that she has a state role, albeit a ceremonial one, without having been directly elected. This situation is far more common in some other countries, such as the [[United Kingdom]], where members of the royal family perform comparable hosting and ceremonial duties.

If a woman (or a homosexual man) were to be elected president, it is possible that there could be a "First Man". However, this has never happened to date, although [[Hillary Clinton]] did come reasonably close to election in 2008 (which would have made former President in his own right [[Bill Clinton]] the "First Man").

Vice President of the United States of America

2017-01-02T00:25:32Z

Roundsquare3: /* List of vice-presidents */

:''"Vice President" redirects here. For a more general article on vice presidents, please see [[vice president]].''
The '''Vice President of the United States of America''' is first in the [[order of succession]] to the [[president of the United States of America|presidency]]. While the only duty spelled out for the position in the [[Constitution of the United States|Constitution]] is to preside over the [[United States Senate|Senate]], other duties have been assumed over time.

==Incumbent==
The current vice-president is [[Joseph Biden]], who took office on January 20, 2009, together with President [[Barack Obama]]. His predecessor was [[Richard Cheney]], who served under President [[George Bush]].

==Election==
Currently, the vice-president is elected together with the president, each [[Electoral College|elector]] voting for one man for president and another for vice-president. This system was mandated by the [[Twelfth Amendment]], ratified in 1804. Previously, each elector had voted for two different people for president, and the runner-up had become vice-president. However, this system broke down in the [[United States presidential election, 1800|election of 1800]], when [[Thomas Jefferson]], the [[Jeffersonian Republican]] presidential candidate, tied with [[Aaron Burr]], his running mate.

President of the United States of America

2017-01-02T00:12:18Z

Roundsquare3: /* Presidents list */

[[Image:Presidential seal 506x508.gif|thumbnail|right|The [[United States]] Presidential Seal]]
The '''President of the United States''' is the head of the [[United States of America|U.S.]] [[Executive Branch]]. As the [[head of state]] of the [[United States of America]], the president is one of the most powerful people in the [[world]]. The writers of the [[United States Constitution|Constitution]] recognized that they were writing a job description which, in [[England]], was and is filled by the office of the [[prime minister]] and position of the [[Monarchy|monarch]]. According to the [[Founding Fathers]] of the USA, at that time, the monarchy of England did not appear to serve the common man and the Founding Fathers wanted a [[government]] that did.

==Current president==
[[Barack Hussein Obama]] currently claims to be the 44th and current President (see note below the Presidents list). He took office on January 20, 2009. His predecessor was [[George W. Bush|George Walker Bush]].

==Election==
The president is selected every four years by the American people, although not through a popular vote but rather through the [[Electoral College]]. This process makes the presidency one of the few elected officials in the [[United States of America]] chosen indirectly. The Founding Fathers implemented this procedure to ensure the relevance of smaller states in the voting process.

==Term limits==
Prior to [[Franklin Delano Roosevelt]], presidents voluntarily limited themselves to two terms as an homage to [[George Washington]]. After Franklin D. Roosevelt served a little over twelve years in office, [[Congress]] passed the 22nd [[Constitutional Amendment]] restricting future presidents to two terms.

However, if the vice president succeeds to the presidency with no more than two years left in the prior president's term, he is allowed to run for two full terms, raising the potential time in office to ten years.

The first president to whom term limits applied was [[Dwight D. Eisenhower]].

1 There is doubt as to the legitimacy and legality of Obama's claim to the Presidency due to his refusal to disclose his legitimate birth records (the fraudulent "birth certificate" he released notwithstanding) and his history prior to his announcing his plan to run for President as a Democrat candidate in 2007. He has determined to keep his records sealed because revelation of such would reveal that, under [[United States Constitution:Article II|Article II, Section 1 of the United States Constitution]], he is not only not eligible to hold the office of President but was ineligible to even run for the Presidency under the Democratic party rules, thereby making both his Presidential run and his subsequent assumption of the office illegal under the Constitution. As such, Obama's ineligibility to run for or hold the office of President would mean that the United States of America did not have a legitimate executive from January 20, 2009 (the day that Obama assumed the office<ref>[http://www.conservativenewsandviews.com/2016/05/01/accountability/executive/barack-obama-stole-america/ Barack Obama Stole America] at Conservative News and Views</ref>) until January 20, 2017 (the day new President-elect [[Donald Trump]] will be sworn in to become the first legitimate President since George W. Bush).

President of the United States of America

2017-01-02T00:00:38Z

Roundsquare3: /* Presidents list */

[[Image:Presidential seal 506x508.gif|thumbnail|right|The [[United States]] Presidential Seal]]
The '''President of the United States''' is the head of the [[United States of America|U.S.]] [[Executive Branch]]. As the [[head of state]] of the [[United States of America]], the president is one of the most powerful people in the [[world]]. The writers of the [[United States Constitution|Constitution]] recognized that they were writing a job description which, in [[England]], was and is filled by the office of the [[prime minister]] and position of the [[Monarchy|monarch]]. According to the [[Founding Fathers]] of the USA, at that time, the monarchy of England did not appear to serve the common man and the Founding Fathers wanted a [[government]] that did.

==Current president==
[[Barack Hussein Obama]] currently claims to be the 44th and current President (see note below the Presidents list). He took office on January 20, 2009. His predecessor was [[George W. Bush|George Walker Bush]].

==Election==
The president is selected every four years by the American people, although not through a popular vote but rather through the [[Electoral College]]. This process makes the presidency one of the few elected officials in the [[United States of America]] chosen indirectly. The Founding Fathers implemented this procedure to ensure the relevance of smaller states in the voting process.

==Term limits==
Prior to [[Franklin Delano Roosevelt]], presidents voluntarily limited themselves to two terms as an homage to [[George Washington]]. After Franklin D. Roosevelt served a little over twelve years in office, [[Congress]] passed the 22nd [[Constitutional Amendment]] restricting future presidents to two terms.

However, if the vice president succeeds to the presidency with no more than two years left in the prior president's term, he is allowed to run for two full terms, raising the potential time in office to ten years.

The first president to whom term limits applied was [[Dwight D. Eisenhower]].

President of the United States of America

2017-01-01T23:53:53Z

Roundsquare3: /* Presidents list */

[[Image:Presidential seal 506x508.gif|thumbnail|right|The [[United States]] Presidential Seal]]
The '''President of the United States''' is the head of the [[United States of America|U.S.]] [[Executive Branch]]. As the [[head of state]] of the [[United States of America]], the president is one of the most powerful people in the [[world]]. The writers of the [[United States Constitution|Constitution]] recognized that they were writing a job description which, in [[England]], was and is filled by the office of the [[prime minister]] and position of the [[Monarchy|monarch]]. According to the [[Founding Fathers]] of the USA, at that time, the monarchy of England did not appear to serve the common man and the Founding Fathers wanted a [[government]] that did.

==Current president==
[[Barack Hussein Obama]] currently claims to be the 44th and current President (see note below the Presidents list). He took office on January 20, 2009. His predecessor was [[George W. Bush|George Walker Bush]].

==Election==
The president is selected every four years by the American people, although not through a popular vote but rather through the [[Electoral College]]. This process makes the presidency one of the few elected officials in the [[United States of America]] chosen indirectly. The Founding Fathers implemented this procedure to ensure the relevance of smaller states in the voting process.

==Term limits==
Prior to [[Franklin Delano Roosevelt]], presidents voluntarily limited themselves to two terms as an homage to [[George Washington]]. After Franklin D. Roosevelt served a little over twelve years in office, [[Congress]] passed the 22nd [[Constitutional Amendment]] restricting future presidents to two terms.

However, if the vice president succeeds to the presidency with no more than two years left in the prior president's term, he is allowed to run for two full terms, raising the potential time in office to ten years.

The first president to whom term limits applied was [[Dwight D. Eisenhower]].
