美国总统竞选发言稿英文
美国总统竞选发言稿英文Ladies and gentlemen,Thank you for being here today as I officially announce my candidacy for the Presidency of the United States.First and foremost, I want to thank my family, without their unwavering support and love, I would not be standing here today. I am also grateful for the countless Americans who have encouraged and inspired me to take this leap into the political arena.Today, I stand before you with a vision for our great nation. A vision that includes safeguarding our democracy, championing the rights of all Americans, and restoring integrity to the Oval Office.The past few years have been tumultuous for our country. We have witnessed divisions deepen, trust erode, and progress stagnate. But we, the American people, have the power to change that. We have the power to come together, transcending party lines and putting country above all else.One of the cornerstones of my campaign is to protect and strengthen our democracy. We must ensure that every citizen has a voice and that their vote counts. The recent attempts to undermine our election system are deeply concerning. As President, I will work tirelessly to combat voter suppression and foreign interference. I will advocate for campaign finance reform and hold candidates accountable for their actions. Democracy is the heart and soul of our nation, and we must protect it at all costs.Another key issue we face is the growing inequality in our country. It is unacceptable that the wealthiest in our society continue to amass vast fortunes while working families struggle to make ends meet. I believe in a fair and just society where the American Dream is attainable for all. That means implementing policies that address income inequality, providing affordable healthcare, and ensuring quality education for all children. It means promoting economic growth that benefits everyone, not just the few at the top.To tackle these challenges, we must also restore integrity to the Oval Office. There is a clear need for a leader who is honest, transparent, and accountable. As President, I will be that leader. I will surround myself with individuals of the highest moral character and expertise, regardless of their political affiliations. I will work across the aisle to find common ground and make sure our government is working for the American people, not special interests.Furthermore, it is imperative that we address the urgent challenges facing our planet. Climate change is not a distant threat; it is a present reality. We must act now to transition to clean energy, reduce carbon emissions, and preserve our natural resources. This is not only an environmental imperative but also an economic opportunity. By investing in renewable energy, we can create millions of jobs and secure a sustainable future for generations to come.In light of the increasing polarization and animosity, it is critical that we foster a sense of unity and empathy. We must bridge the divides that separate us and embrace our diversity. We are a nationof immigrants, and it is our differences that make us stronger. As President, I will promote inclusivity and reject any form of discrimination or prejudice. We must find common ground and work towards a shared vision of a better America.I am not a career politician, but I am a lifelong public servant. I have dedicated my life to fighting for justice, equity, and equal opportunity for all Americans. I will bring that same passion and dedication to the White House. Together, we can build a brighter future for our country.I ask for your support, your trust, and your vote. Let us come together, united in our belief in the American Dream and our commitment to a better future. Together, we can restore the greatness of our nation and ensure that the United States remains a beacon of hope and possibility for generations to come.Thank you, and God bless America.。
美国总统竞选辩论第二场英文全稿
President Barack Obama and Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney met in Hempstead, New York Tuesday evening for the second of three presidential debates, moderated by CNN Chief Political Correspondent Candy Crowley.CROWLEY: Good evening from Hofstra University in Hempstead, NewYork. I'm Candy Crowley from CNN's "State of the Union." We are herefor the second presidential debate, a town hall, sponsored by theCommission on Presidential Debates.CROWLEY: The Gallup organization chose 82 uncommitted votersfrom the New York area. Their questions will drive the night. Mygoal is to give the conversation direction and to ensure questions getanswered.The questions are known to me and my team only. Neither thecommission, nor the candidates have seen them. I hope to get to asmany questions as possible. CROWLEY: And because I am the optimistic sort, I'm sure thecandidates will oblige by keeping their answers concise and on point.Each candidate has as much as two minutes to respond to a commonquestion, and there will be a two-minute follow-up. The audience herein the hall has agreed to be polite and attentive - no cheering orbooing or outbursts of any sort.We will set aside that agreement just this once to welcomePresident Barack Obama and Governor Mitt Romney.(APPLAUSE)Gentlemen, thank you both for joining us here tonight. We have alot of folks who've been waiting all day to talk to you, so I want toget right to it.Governor Romney, as you know, you won the coin toss, so the firstquestion will go to you. And I want to turn to a first-time voter,Jeremy Epstein, who has a question for you. QUESTION: Mr. President, Governor Romney, as a 20-year-oldcollege student, all I hear from professors, neighbors and others isthat when I graduate, I will have little chance to get employment.What can you say to reassure me, but more importantly my parents, thatI will be able to sufficiently support myself after I graduate?ROMNEY: Thank you, Jeremy. I appreciate your - your question,and thank you for being here this evening and to all of those fromNassau County that have come, thank you for your time. Thank you toHofstra University and to Candy Crowley for organizing and leadingthis - this event.Thank you, Mr. President, also for being part of this - thisdebate.college kids all over this country. I was in Pennsylvania withsomeone who had just graduated - this was in Philadelphia - and shesaid, "I've got my degree. I can't find a job. I've got three part-time jobs. They're just barely enough to pay for my food and pay foran apartment. I can't begin to pay back my student loans."So what we have to do is two things. We have to make sure thatwe make it easier for kidsto afford college.ROMNEY: And also make sure that when they get out of college,there's a job. When I was governor of Massachusetts, to get a highschool degree, you had to pass an exam. If you graduated in the topquarter of your airlines, we gave you a John and Abigail Adamsscholarship, four years tuition free in the college of your choice inMassachusetts, it's a public institution.I want to make sure we keep our Pell grant program growing. We'realso going to have our loan program, so that people are able to affordschool. But the key thing is to make sure you can get a job when youget out of school. And what's happened over the last four years hasbeen very, very hard for America's young people. I want you to beable to get a job.I know what it takes to get this economy going. With half ofcollege kids graduating this year without a college - excuse me,without a job. And without a college level job, that's justunacceptable.And likewise you've got more and more debt on your back. So moredebt and less jobs. I'm going to change that. I know what it takes tocreate good jobs again. I know what it takes to make sure that youhave the kind of opportunity you deserve. And kids across thiscountry are going to recognize, we're bringing back an economy.It's not going to be like the last four years. The middle-classhas been crushed over the last four years, and jobs have been tooscarce. I know what it takes to bring them back, and I'm going to dothat, and make sure that when you graduate - when do you graduate? QUESTION: 2014.ROMNEY: 2014. When you come out in 2014, I presume I'm going tobe president. I'm going to make sure you get a job. Thanks Jeremy.Yeah, you bet.CROWLEY: Mr. President?OBAMA: Jeremy, first of all, your future is bright. And the factthat you're making an investment in higher education is critical. Notjust to you, but to the entire nation. Now, the most important thingwe can do is to make sure that we are creating jobs in this country.But not just jobs, good paying jobs. Ones that can support a family.OBAMA: And what I want to do, is build on the five million jobsthat we've created over the last 30 months in the private sectoralone. And there are a bunch of things we can do to make sure yourfuture is bright.Number one, I want to build manufacturing jobs in this countryagain. Now when Governor Romney said we should let Detroit gobankrupt. I said we're going to bet on American workers and theAmerican auto industry and it's come surging back.I want to do that in industries, not just in Detroit, but allacross the country and that means we change our tax code so we'regiving incentives to companies that are investing here in the UnitedStates and creating jobs here.It also means we're helping them and small businesses to exportall around the world to new markets.Number two, we've got to make sure that we have the besteducation system in the world. And the fact that you're going tocollege is great, but I want everybody to get a great education andwe've worked hard to make sure that student loans are available forfolks like you, but I also want to make sure that community collegesare offering slots for workers to get retrained for the jobs that areout there right now and the jobs of the future. Number three, we've got to control our own energy. Now, not onlyoil and natural gas, which we've been investing in; but also, we'vegot to make sure we're building the energy source of the future, notjust thinking about next year, but ten years from now, 20 years fromnow. That's why we've invested in solar and wind and biofuels, energyefficient cars. We've got to reduce our deficit, but we've got to do it in abalanced way. Asking the wealthy to pay a little bit more along withcuts so that we can invest in education like yours.And let's take the money that we've been spending on war over thelast decade to rebuild America, roads, bridges schools. We do thosethings, not only is your future going to be bright but America'sfuture is going to bright as well.CROWLEY: Let me ask you for more immediate answer and begin withMr. Romney just quickly what - what can you do? We're looking at asituation where 40 percent of the unemployed have been unemployed havebeen unemployed for six months or more. They don't have the two yearsthat Jeremy has.What about those long term unemployed who need a job right now?ROMNEY: Well what you're seeing in this country is 23 millionpeople struggling to find a job. And a lot of them, as you say,Candy, have been out of work for a long, long, long time. Thepresident's policies have been exercised over the last four years andthey haven't put Americans back to work.We have fewer people working today than we had when the presidenttook office. If the - the unemployment rate was 7.8 percent when hetook office, it's 7.8 percent now. But if you calculated thatunemployment rate, taking back the people who dropped out of theworkforce, it would be 10.7 percent.We have not made the progress we need to make to put people backto work. That's why I put out a five-point plan that gets America 12million new jobs in four years and rising take-home pay. It's goingto help Jeremy get a job when he comes out of school. It's going tohelp people across the country that are unemployed right now.And one thing that the president said, which I want to make surethat we understand, he said that I said we should take Detroitbankrupt. And that's right. My plan was to have the company gothrough bankruptcy like 7-Eleven did and Macy's and Condell (ph)Airlines and come out stronger.And I know he keeps saying, you want to take Detroit bankrupt.Well, the president took Detroit bankrupt. You took General Motorsbankrupt. You took Chrysler bankrupt. So when you say that I wantedto take the auto industry bankrupt, you actually did.And I think it's important to know that that was a process thatwas necessary to get those companies back on their feet, so they couldstart hiring more people. That was precisely what I recommended andultimately what happened.CROWLEY: Let me give the president a chance.Go ahead.OBAMA: Candy, what Governor Romney said just isn't true. Hewanted to take them into bankruptcy without providing them any way tostay open. And we would have lost a million jobs. And that - don'ttake my word for it, take the executives at GM and Chrysler, some ofwhom are Republicans, may even support Governor Romney. Butthey'lltell you his prescription wasn't going to work.And Governor Romney's says he's got a five-point plan? GovernorRomney doesn't have a five-point plan. He has a one-point plan. Andthat plan is to make sure that folks at the top play by a differentset of rules. That's been his philosophy in the private sector,that's been his philosophy as governor, that's been his philosophy asa presidential candidate.You can make a lot of money and pay lower tax rates than somebodywho makes a lot less. You can ship jobs overseas and get tax breaksfor it. You can invest in a company, bankrupt it, lay off theworkers, strip away their pensions, and you still make money.That's exactly the philosophy that we've seen in place for thelast decade. That's what's been squeezing middle class families.And we have fought back for four years to get out of that mess.The last thing we need to do is to go back to the very same policiesthat got us there.CROWLEY: Mr. President, the next question is going to be for youhere.And, Mr. Romney - Governor Romney - there'll be plenty ofchances here to go on, but I want to...ROMNEY: That - that Detroit - that Detroit answer...CROWLEY: We have all these folks.ROMNEY: ... that Detroit answer...CROWLEY: I will let you absolutely...ROMNEY: ... and the rest of the answer, way off the mark.CROWLEY: OK. Will - will - you certainly will have lots oftime here coming up.Because I want to move you on to something that's sort ofconnected to cars here, and - and go over. And we want to get aquestion from Phillip TricollaQUESTION: Your energy secretary, Steven Chu, has now been onrecord three times stating it's not policy of his department to helplower gas prices. Do you agree with Secretary Chu that this is notthe job of the Energy Department?OBAMA: The most important thing we can do is to make sure wecontrol our own energy. So here's what I've done since I've beenpresident. We have increased oil production to the highest levels in16 years.Natural gas production is the highest it's been in decades. Wehave seen increases in coal production and coal employment. But whatI've also said is we can't just produce traditional source of energy.We've also got to look to the future. That's why we doubled fuelefficiency standards on cars. That means that in the middle of thenext decade, any car you buy, you're going to end up going twice asfar on a gallon of gas. That's why we doubled clean - clean energyproduction like wind and solar and biofuels.And all these things have contributed to us lowering our oilimports to the lowest levels in 16 years. Now, I want to build onthat. And that means, yes, we still continue to open up new areas fordrilling. We continue to make it a priority for us to go afternatural gas. We've got potentially 600,000 jobs and 100 years worthof energy right beneath our feet with natural gas.And we can do it in an environmentally sound way. But we've alsogot to continue to figure out how we have efficiency energy, becauseultimately that's how we're going to reduce demand and that's what'sgoing to keep gas prices lower.Now, Governor Romney will say he's got an all-of-the-above plan,but basically his plan is to let the oil companies write the energypolicies. So he's got the oil and gas part, but he doesn't have theclean energy part. And if we are only thinking about tomorrow or thenext day and not thinking about 10 years from now, we're not going tocontrol our own economic future. Because China, Germany, they'remaking these investments. And I'm not going to cede those jobs of thefuture to those countries. I expect those new energy sources to bebuilt right here in the United States.That's going to help Jeremy get a job. It's also going to makesure that you're not paying as much for gas.CROLEY: Governor, on the subject of gas prices?ROMNEY: Well, let's look at the president's policies, all right,as opposed to the rhetoric, because we've had four years of policiesbeing played out. And the president's right in terms of theadditional oil production, but none of it came on federal land. As amatter of fact, oil production is down 14 percent this year on federalland, and gas production was down 9 percent. Why? Because thepresident cut in half the number of licenses and permits for drillingon federal lands, and in federal waters.So where'd the increase come from? Well a lot of it came fromthe Bakken Range in North Dakota. What was his participation there?The administration brought a criminal action against the peopledrilling up there for oil, this massive new resource we have. Andwhat was the cost? 20 or 25 birds were killed and brought out amigratory bird act to go afterthem on a criminal basis.Look, I want to make sure we use our oil, our coal, our gas, ournuclear, our renewables. I believe very much in our renewablecapabilities; ethanol, wind, solar will be an important part of ourenergy mix.But what we don't need is to have the president keeping us fromtaking advantage of oil, coal and gas. This has not been Mr. Oil, orMr. Gas, or Mr. Coal. Talk to the people that are working in thoseindustries. I was in coal country. People grabbed my arms and said,"Please save my job." The head of the EPA said, "You can't build acoal plant. You'll virtually - it's virtually impossible given ourregulations." When the president ran for office, he said if you builda coal plant, you can go ahead, but you'll go bankrupt. That's notthe right course for America.Let's take advantage of the energy resources we have, as well asthe energy sources for the future. And if we do that, if we do whatI'm planning on doing, which is getting us energy independent, NorthAmerica energy independence within eight years, you're going to seemanufacturing jobs come back. Because our energy is low cost, thatare already beginning to come back because of our abundant energy.I'll get America and North America energy independent. I'll do it bymore drilling, more permits and licenses.We're going to bring that pipeline in from Canada. How in theworld the president said no to that pipeline? I will never know.This is about bringing good jobs back for the middle class ofAmerica, and that's what I'm going to do.CROWLEY: Mr. President, let me just see if I can move you to thegist of this question, which is, are we looking at the new normal? Ican tell you that tomorrow morning, a lot of people in Hempstead willwake up and fill up and they will find that the price of gas is over$4 a gallon.Is it within the purview of the government to bring those pricesdown, or are we looking at the new normal?OBAMA: Candy, there's no doubt that world demand's gone up, butour production is going up, and we're using oil more efficiently. Andvery little of what Governor Romney just said is true. We've openedup public lands. We're actually drilling more on public lands than inthe previous administration and my - the previous president was anoil man.Andnatural gas isn't just appearing magically. We'reencouraging it and working with the industry.And when I hear Governor Romney say he's a big coal guy, I mean,keep in mind, when - Governor, when you were governor ofMassachusetts, you stood in front of a coal plant and pointed at itand said, "This plant kills," and took great pride in shutting itdown. And now suddenly you're a big champion of coal.So what I've tried to do is be consistent. With respect tosomething like coal, we made thelargest investment in clean coaltechnology, to make sure that even as we're producing more coal, we'reproducing it cleaner and smarter. Same thing with oil, same thingwith natural gas.And the proof is our oil imports are down to the lowest levels in20 years. Oil production is up, natural gas production is up, and,most importantly, we're also starting to build cars that are moreefficient.And that's creating jobs. That means those cars can be exported,'cause that's the demand around the world, and it also means thatit'll save money in your pocketbook. OBAMA: That's the strategy you need, an all-of-the-abovestrategy,and that's what we're going to do in the next four years.ROMNEY: But that's not what you've done in the last four years.That's the problem. In the last four years, you cut permits andlicenses on federal land and federal waters in half. OBAMA: Not true, Governor Romney.ROMNEY: So how much did you cut (inaudible)?OBAMA: Not true.ROMNEY: How much did you cut them by, then?OBAMA: Governor, we have actually produced more oil –ROMNEY: No, no. How much did you cut licenses and permits onfederal land and federal waters?OBAMA: Governor Romney, here's what we did. There were a wholebunch of oil companies.(CROSSTALK)ROMNEY: No, no, I had a question and the question was how muchdid you cut them by? OBAMA: You want me to answer a question –ROMNEY: How much did you cut them by?OBAMA: I'm happy to answer the question.ROMNEY: All right. And it is –OBAMA: Here's what happened. You had a whole bunch of oilcompanies who had leases on public lands that they weren't using. Sowhat we said was you can't just sit on this for 10, 20, 30 years,decide when you want to drill, when you want to produce, when it'smost profitable for you. These are public lands. So if you want todrill on public lands, you use it or you lose it.ROMNEY: OK, (inaudible) –OBAMA: And so what we did was take away those leases. And weare now reletting them so that we can actually make a profit.ROMNEY: And production on private - on government land –OBAMA: Production is up.ROMNEY: - is down.OBAMA: No, it isn't.ROMNEY: Production on government land of oil is down 14 percent.OBAMA: Governor –ROMNEY: And production on gas –(CROSSTALK)OBAMA: It's just not true.ROMNEY: It's absolutely true. Look, there's no question but thepeople recognize that we have not produced more (inaudible) on federallands and in federal waters. And coal, coal production is not up;coal jobs are not up.I was just at a coal facility, where some 1,200 people lost theirjobs. The right course for America is to have a true all-of-the-abovepolicy. I don't think anyone really believes that you're a personwho's going to be pushing for oil and gas and coal. You'll get yourchance in a moment. I'm still speaking.OBAMA: Well –ROMNEY: And the answer is I don't believe people think that'sthe case –OBAMA: - (inaudible).ROMNEY: That wasn't the question.OBAMA: OK.ROMNEY: That was a statement. I don't think the American peoplebelieve that. I will fight for oil, coal and natural gas. And theproof, the proof of whether a strategy is working or not is what theprice is that you're paying at the pump. If you're paying less thanyou paid a year or two ago, why, then, the strategy is working. Butyou're paying more. When the president took office, the price ofgasoline here in Nassau County was about $1.86 a gallon. Now, it's$4.00 a gallon. The price of electricity is up.If the president's energy policies are working, you're going tosee the cost of energy come down. I will fight to create more energyin this country, to get America energy secure. And part of that isbringing in a pipeline of oil from Canada, taking advantage of the oiland coal we have here, drilling offshore in Alaska, drilling offshorein Virginia where the people want it. Those things will get us theenergy we need.CROWLEY: Mr. President, could you address, because we didfinally get to gas prices here, could you address what the governorsaid, which is if your energy policy was working, the price ofgasoline would not be $4 a gallon here. Is that true?OBAMA: Well, think about what the governor - think about whatthe governor just said. He said when I took office, the price ofgasoline was $1.80, $1.86. Why is that? Because the economy was onthe verge of collapse, because we were about to go through the worstrecession since the Great Depression, as a consequence of some of thesame policiesthat Governor Romney's now promoting.So, it's conceivable that Governor Romney could bring down gasprices because with his policies, we might be back in that same mess.What I want to do is to create an economy that is strong, and atthe same time produce energy. And with respect to this pipeline thatGovernor Romney keeps on talking about, we've - we've built enoughpipeline to wrap around the entire earth once.So, I'm all for pipelines. I'm all for oil production. What I'mnot for is us ignoring the other half of the equation. So, forexample, on wind energy, when Governor Romney says "these areimaginary jobs." When you've got thousands of people right now inIowa, right now in Colorado, who are working, creating wind power withgood-paying manufacturing jobs, and the Republican senator in that –in Iowa is all for it, providing tax breaks (ph) to help this work andGovernor Romney says I'm opposed. I'd get rid of it.That's not an energy strategy for the future. And we need to winthat future. And I intend to win it as President of the UnitedStates.CROWLEY: I got to - I got to move you on –ROMNEY: He gets the first –CROWLEY: - and the next question –ROMNEY: He actually got –CROWLEY: - for you –ROMNEY: He actually got the first question. So I get the lastquestion - last answer –CROWLEY: (Inaudible) in the follow up, it doesn't quite worklike that. But I'm going to give you a chance here. I promise you,I'm going to.And the next question is for you. So if you want to, you know,continue on - but I don't want to leave all –ROMNEY: Candy, Candy –CROWLEY: - sitting here –ROMNEY: Candy, I don't have a policy of stopping wind jobs inIowa and that - they're not phantom jobs. They're real jobs.CROWLEY: OK.ROMNEY: I appreciate wind jobs in Iowa and across our country.I appreciate the jobs in coal and oil and gas. I'm going to make sure–CROWLEY: OK.ROMNEY: - we're taking advantage of our energy resources.We'll bring back manufacturing to America. We're going to get througha very aggressive energy policy, 31/2 million more jobs in thiscountry. It's critical to our future.OBAMA: Candy, it's not going to –CROWLEY: We're going to move you along –OBAMA: Used to being interrupted.CROWLEY: We're going to move you both along to taxes over hereand all these folks that have been waiting.Governor, this question is for you. It comes from Mary Follano– Follano, sorry. ROMNEY: Hi, Mary.QUESTION: Governor Romney, you have stated that if you'reelected president, you would plan to reduce the tax rates for all thetax brackets and that you would work with the Congress to eliminatesome deductions in order to make up for the loss in revenue. Concerning the - these various deductions, the mortgagedeductions, the charitable deductions, the child tax credit and alsothe - oh, what's that other credit? I forgot. OBAMA: You're doing great.QUESTION: Oh, I remember.The education credits, which are important to me, because I havechildren in college. What would be your position on those things,which are important to the middle class? ROMNEY: Thank you very much. And let me tell you, you'reabsolutely right about part of that, which is I want to bring therates down, I want to simplify the tax code, and I want to get middle-income taxpayers to have lower taxes.And the reason I want middle-income taxpayers to have lower taxesis becausemiddle-income taxpayers have been buried over the past fouryears. You've seen, as middle-income people in this country, incomesgo down $4,300 a family, even as gasoline prices have gone up $2,000.Health insurance premiums, up $2,500. Food prices up. Utility pricesup.The middle-income families in America have been crushed over thelast four years. So I want to get some relief to middle-incomefamilies. That's part - that's part one.Now, how about deductions? 'Cause I'm going to bring rates downacross the board for everybody, but I'm going to limit deductions andexemptions and credits, particularly for people at the high end,because I am not going to have people at the high end pay less thanthey're paying now.The top 5 percent of taxpayers will continue to pay 60 percent ofthe income tax the nation collects. So that'll stay the same.Middle-income people are going to get a tax break.And so, in terms of bringing down deductions, one way of doingthat would be say everybody gets - I'll pick a number - $25,000 ofdeductions and credits, and you can decide which ones to use. Yourhome mortgage interest deduction, charity, child tax credit, and soforth, you can use those as part of filling that bucket, if you will,of deductions.But your rate comes down and the burden also comes down on youfor one more reason, and that is every middle-income taxpayer nolonger will pay any tax on interest, dividendsor capital gains. Notax on your savings. That makes life a lot easier.If you're getting interest from a bank, if you're getting astatement from a mutual fund or any other kind of investment you have,you don't have to worry about filing taxes on that, because there'llbe no taxes for anybody making $200,000.00 per year and less, on yourinterest, dividends and capital gains. Why am I lowering taxes on themiddle-class? Because under the last four years, they've been buried.And I want to help people in the middle-class.And I will not - I will not under any circumstances, reduce theshare that's being paid by the highest income taxpayers. And I willnot, under any circumstances increase taxes on the middle-class. Thepresident's spending, the president's borrowing will cost this nationto have to raise taxes on the American people. Not just at the highend. A recent study has shown the people in the middle-class will see$4,000.00 per year in higher taxes as a result of the spending andborrowing of this administration.I will not let that happen. I want to get us on track to abalanced budget, and I'm going to reduce the tax burden on middleincome families. And what's that going to do? It's going to helpthose families, and it's going to create incentives to start growingjobs again in this country.CROWLEY: Thanks, Governor.OBAMA: My philosophy on taxes has been simple. And that is, Iwant to give middle-class families and folks who are striving to getinto the middle-class some relief. Because they have been hit hardover the last decade. Over the last 15, over the last 20 years.So four years ago I stood on a stage just like this one.Actually it was a town hall, and I said I would cut taxes for middle-class families, and that's what I've done, by $3,600.00. I said Iwould cut taxes for small businesses, who are the drivers and enginesof growth. And we've cut them 18 times. And I want to continue thosetax cuts for middle-class families, and for small business.But what I've also said is, if we're serious about reducing thedeficit, if this is genuinely a moral obligation to the nextgeneration, then in addition to some tough spending cuts, we've alsogot to make sure that the wealthy do a little bit more.So what I've said is, your first $250,000.00 worth of income, nochange. And that means 98 percent of American families, 97 percent ofsmall businesses, they will not see a tax increase. I'm ready to signthat bill right now. The only reason it's not happening is becauseGovernor Romney's allies in Congress have held the 98 percent hostagebecause they want tax breaks for the top 2 percent.But what I've also says is for above $250,000, we can go back tothe tax rates we had when Bill Clinton was president. We created 23million new jobs. That's part of what took us from deficits tosurplus. It will be good for our economy and it will be good for jobcreation.。

It is an honor and a privilege to stand before you today as a candidate for the presidency of the United States of America. I am here to share with you my vision for our great nation, and to ask for your support in making it a reality.America has always been the land of opportunity, a beacon of hope for people from all corners of the world. We have achieved greatness through our ingenuity, our hard work, and our unwavering commitment to the principles upon which our nation was founded. However, we have also faced challenges and setbacks along the way. Today, we stand at a crossroads, and it is time for us to come together and forge a brighter future for ourselves and for our children.First and foremost, I want to address the issue of economic prosperity. Our economy has been struggling in recent years, with too many families facing financial hardship. It is my goal to create a strong, thriving economy that works for everyone, not just the wealthy few.To achieve this, I will take the following steps:1. Invest in infrastructure: We need to rebuild and modernize our roads, bridges, airports, and public transportation systems. This will create jobs, improve our quality of life, and make America more competitive in the global market.2. Support small businesses: Small businesses are the backbone of our economy. I will provide them with the resources and support they need to grow and thrive, and I will eliminate unnecessary regulations that hinder their success.3. Encourage innovation: America has always been a leader in innovation, but we need to continue to foster this spirit. I will invest in research and development, and I will promote policies that encourage entrepreneurs to take risks and create new jobs.4.

This includes expanding Medicaid, implementing a public option, and supporting community health centers.2.

I will negotiate lower prices with pharmaceutical companies and implement policies to reduce the cost of prescription drugs.3. Prevent chronic diseases: Chronic diseases are the leading cause of death and disability in our country. I will invest in public health initiatives to prevent chronic diseases, such as diabetes and heart disease, and improve the overall health of our nation.I am also deeply concerned about the state of our environment. Climate change is a real and urgent threat, and we must take action now to mitigate its effects. I will take the following steps to protect our planet:1. Transition to renewable energy: I will invest in renewable energy sources, such as wind, solar, and hydroelectric power, and phase out fossil fuels.

This includes implementing stricter regulations on pollution and protecting endangered species.3. Support sustainable agriculture: I will promote sustainable agricultural practices that protect our soil, water, and air, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.In addition to these key issues, I am committed to addressing the following:1. Education: I will invest in our public schools and make college affordable for all Americans. Education is the key to our future, and we must ensure that every child has access to a quality education.2. Immigration: I will implement a fair and humane immigration policy that recognizes the contributions of immigrants to our country. We must come together as a nation and embrace diversity.3.

美国总统选举流程英语
美国总统选举流程英语The United States Presidential Election is a complex process that takes place quadrennially to select the head of state and commander-in-chief of the armed forces of the United States. Here we delve into the intricacies of this election process, examining the key steps and milestones. **1. Primary Elections and Nominations**The presidential election cycle begins with primary elections, typically held in late spring and summer of the election year. These primaries are conducted by the individual states and are used to select the nominees for the two major political parties: the Democratic Party and the Republican Party. Each party has its own unique primary system, with some states using a winner-take-all approach and others allocating votes proportionally based on the candidate's share of the vote.**2. General Election Campaign**Once the nominees are chosen, the general election campaign officially begins. This phase involves intense debate, policy proposals, and a barrage of advertisementsand public appearances by the candidates. Both candidates engage in a series of debates, which are broadcast nationwide and provide an opportunity for the American people to hear directly from the nominees about theirvision for the country.**3. Voting Day**On Election Day, citizens of the United States cast their votes for president. The Election Day is always a Tuesday and is typically held in November of the election year. Voting takes place at designated polling stations throughout the country, and citizens can register to vote as long as they are US citizens, at least 18 years old, and have resided in their voting district for a certain period of time.**4. Electoral College**A unique feature of the American presidential election is the Electoral College. After the votes are cast, the elected officials of each state, known as electors, cast their votes for president. Each state is allocated a number of electors equal to the total number of senators and representatives it has in Congress. The candidate whoreceives a majority of the votes in a state wins all the electors from that state.**5. Counting the Votes and Inauguration**Once all the votes are cast and the electors have voted, the votes are tallied. The candidate who receives amajority of the votes cast by the electors becomes the president-elect. If no candidate receives a majority, the House of Representatives votes to select the president,with each state casting a single vote. The newly elected president is then sworn in during a ceremony known as the Inauguration, typically held in January of the yearfollowing the election.The presidential election process in the United Statesis a robust democratic mechanism that ensures the peaceful transfer of power and the representation of the will of the American people. From the primaries to the inauguration, it is a testament to the resilience and durability of American democracy.**美国总统选举流程深度解析**美国总统选举是一个每四年举行一次的重要过程，旨在选举出美国的国家元首和武装部队的总司令。

美国总统选举英文介绍
election in which citizens of the United States who are registered to vote in one of the 50U.S. states or the District of Columbia cast ballots for members of the Electoral College, known as electors. These electors then in turn cast direct votes, known as electoral votes, in their respective state capitals for President and Vice President of the United States. Each of the states casts as many electoral votes as the total number of its Senators and Representatives in Congress, while Washington, D.C. casts the same number of electoral votes as the least-represented state, which is three.Once the voting for the presidential election has concluded and all the votes for each state have been accounted for, the electors are then advised as to what candidate won the majority in their state. The electors of that state then will cast the vote of that candidate to represent the people of their regions majority decision. However, “Twenty one states do not have provisions that are fairl y specific in directing the electors to vote for the presidential and vice-presidential candidates of their party.”[1] This means that an elector could possibly vote against the majority decision of the state due to their being no law that binds electors otherwise in those states. In modern times, almost all electors vote for a particular presidential candidate that theirstates majority decided upon; thus, the results of the election can generally be determined based on the state-by-state popular vote. The candidate who receives an absolute majority of electoral votes for President or Vice President (currently, at least 270 out of a total of 538) is then projected to be elected to that office. If no candidate receives an absolute majority of electoral votes for President, the House of Representatives chooses the President; if no candidate receives an absolute majority for Vice President, the Senate chooses the Vice President.These presidential elections occur quadrennially. Registered voters cast their ballots on Election Day, which since 1845 has been the Tuesday after the first Monday in November (i.e.,the first Tuesday after November 1),[2][3][4] coinciding with the general elections of various other federal, state, and local races. The Electoral College electors then schedule to formally cast their electoral votes on the first Monday after the second Wednesday of December (i.e., the first Monday after December 12) at their respective state capitals. Congress then certify the results in early January, and the presidential term begins on Inauguration Day, which since the passage of the Twentieth Amendment has been set at January 20.The Electoral College and its procedure is established in the U.S. Constitution by Article II, Section 1, Clauses 2 and 4; and the Twelfth Amendment(which replaced Clause 3 after it was ratified in 1804). Under Article II, Section 1, Clause 2, the manner for choosing electors is determined by each state legislature, not directly by the federal government. Many state legislatures used to select their electors directly instead of using any form of popular vote, but the political parties in the various states now conduct their own separate elections to help choose their slate of electors. The Twenty-third Amendment, ratified in 1961, then granted electoral votes to Washington, D.C. Electors can vote for anyone, butunpledged electors or faithless electors have been rare in modern times.The nomination process, consisting of the primary elections and caucuses and the nominating conventions, was not specified in the Constitution, but was developed over time by the states and thepolitical parties. These primary elections are generally held between January and June before the general election in November, while the nominating conventions are held in the summer. This too is an indirect election process, one in which voters in the various states, the District of Columbia, as well as those in U.S. territories, cast ballots for a slate of delegates to a political party's nominating convention, who then in turn elect their party's presidential nominee. Each party's presidential nominee or the convention may then choose a vice presidential running mate to join with him or her on the same ticket, and this choice is often rubber-stamped by the conventions, depending on that convention's rules. Because of changes to national campaign finance laws since the 1970s regarding the disclosure of contributions for federal campaigns, presidential candidates from the major political parties usually declare their intentions to run as early as the spring of the previous calendar year before the election (almost 18 months before Inauguration Day).[5]A 2016 general election ballot, listing the presidential and vice presidential candidates Contents[hide]∙1History∙2Procedureo 2.1Eligibility requirementso 2.2Nominating processo 2.3The popular vote on Election Dayo 2.4Electoral collegeo 2.5Election calendar∙3Trendso 3.1Previous experienceo 3.2Technology and media∙4Criticismso 4.1Proposed changes to the election process∙5Electoral college results∙6V oter turnout∙7Financial disclosures∙8Presidential coattailso8.1Comparison with other U.S. general elections∙9See also∙10Notes∙11External linksHistory[edit]Article Two of the United States Constitution originally established the method of presidential elections, including the Electoral College. This was a result of a compromise between those constitutional framers who wanted the Congress to choose the president, and those who preferred a national popular vote.[6]Each state is allocated a number of electors that is equal to the size of its delegation in both houses of Congress combined. With the ratification of the 23rd Amendment to the Constitution in 1961, the District of Columbia is also granted a number of electors, equal to the number of those held by the least populous state. However, U.S. territories are not represented in the Electoral College.Constitutionally, the manner for choosing electors is determined within each state by its legislature. During the first presidential election in 1789, only 6 of the 13 original states chose electors by any form of popular vote.[7] Gradually throughout the years, the states began conducting popular elections to help choose their slate of electors, resulting in the overall, nationwide indirect election system that it is today.Under the original system established by Article Two, electors could cast two votes to two different candidates for president. The candidate with the highest number of votes (provided it was a majority of the electoral votes) became the president, and the second-place candidate became the vice president. This presented a problem during the presidential election of 1800 when Aaron Burrreceived the same number of electoral votes as Thomas Jefferson and challenged Jefferson's election to the office. In the end, Jefferson was chosen as the president because of Alexander Hamilton's influence in the House of Representatives. This added to the deep rivalry between Burr and Hamilton which resulted in their famous 1804 duel.In response to the 1800 election, the 12th Amendment was passed, requiring electors to cast two distinct votes: one for President and another for Vice President. While this solved the problem at hand, it ultimately had the effect of lowering the prestige of the Vice Presidency, as the office was no longer for the leading challenger for the Presidency. The separate ballots for President and Vice President became something of a moot issue later in the 19th century when it became the norm for popular elections to determine a state's Electoral College delegation. Electors chosen this way are pledged to vote for a particular presidential and vice presidential candidate (offered by the same political party). So, while the Constitution says that the President and Vice President are chosen separately, in practice they are chosen together.The 12th Amendment also established rules when no candidate wins a majority vote in the Electoral College. In the presidential election of 1824, Andrew Jackson received a plurality, but not a majority, of electoral votes cast. The election was thrown to the House of Representatives, and John Quincy Adams was elected to the presidency. A deep rivalry resulted between Andrew Jackson and House Speaker Henry Clay, who had also been a candidate in the election.Since 1824, aside from the occasional "faithless elector," the popular vote determines the winner of a presidential election by determining the electoral vote, as each state or district's popular vote determines its electoral college vote. Although the nationwide popular vote does not directly determine the winner of a presidential election, it does strongly correlate with who is the victor. In 52 of the 56 total elections held so far (about 93 percent), the winner of the national popular vote has also carried the Electoral College vote. The winners of the nationwide popular vote and the Electoral College vote differ only in close elections. In highly competitive elections, candidates focus on turning out their vote in the contested swing states critical to winning an electoral college majority, so they do not try to maximize their popular vote by real or fraudulent vote increases in one-party areas.[8]However, candidates can fail to get the most votes in the nationwide popular vote in a Presidential election and still win that election. In the 1824 election, Jackson won the popular vote, but no one received the majority of electoral votes. According to the12th Amendment in the Constitution, the House of Representatives must choose the president out of the top 3 people in the election. Clay had come fourth, so he threw his support to Adams, who then won. Because Adams later named Clay his Secretary of State, Jackson's supporters claimed that Adams gained the presidency by making a deal with Clay. Charges of a "corrupt bargain" followed Adams through his term.Comparison of the popular vote totals since 1900.RepublicanDemocratAll other candidates togetherThen in 1876, 1888, 2000, and 2016, the winner of electoral vote lost the popular vote outright. Numerous constitutional amendments have been submitted seeking to replace the Electoral College with a direct popular vote, but none has ever successfully passed both Houses of Congress. Another alternate proposal is the National Popular V ote Interstate Compact, an interstate compact whereby individual participating states agree to allocate their electors based on the winner of the national popular vote instead of just their respective statewide results.The presidential election day was established on a Tuesday in the month of November because of the factors involved (weather, harvests and worship). When voters used to travel to the polls by horse, Tuesday was an ideal day because it allowed people to worship on Sunday, ride to their county seat on Monday, and vote on Tuesday–all before market day, Wednesday. The month of November also fits nicely between harvest time and harsh winter weather, which could be especially bad to people traveling by horse and buggy.[9]Until 1937, presidents were not sworn in until March 4 because it took so long to count and report ballots, and because of the winner's logistical issues of moving to the capital. With better technology and the 20th Amendment being passed, presidential inaugurations were moved to noon on January 20–allowing presidents to start their duties sooner.[9]The Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971 was enacted to increase disclosure of contributions for federal campaigns. Subsequent amendments to law require that candidates to a federal office must file a Statement of Candidacy with the Federal Election Commission before they can receive contributions aggregating in excess of $5,000 or make expenditures aggregating in excess of $5,000. Thus, this began a trend of presidential candidates declaring their intentions to run as early as the Spring of the previous calendar year so they can start raising and spending the money needed for their nationwide campaign.[5]The first president, George Washington, was elected as an independent. Since the election of his successor, John Adams, in 1796, all winners of U.S. presidential elections have represented one of two major parties. Third parties have taken secondplace only twice, in 1860 and 1912. The last time a third (independent) candidate achieved significant success (although still finishing in third place) was in 1992, and the last time a third-party candidate received any electoral votes not from faithless electors was in 1968.Procedure[edit]Eligibility requirements[edit]The hand-written copy of the natural-born-citizen clause as it appeared in 1787 Article Two of the United States Constitution stipulates that for a person to serve as President, the individual must be a natural-born citizen of the United States, at least35 years old, and a resident of the United States for a period of no less than 14 years.A candidate may start running his or her campaign early before turning 35 years old or completing 14 years of residency, but must meet the age and residency requirements byInauguration Day. The Twenty-second Amendment to the Constitution also sets a term limit: a President cannot be elected to more than two terms.The U.S. Constitution also has two provisions that apply to all federal offices in general, not just the presidency. Article I, Section 3, Clause 7 states that if the U.S. Congress convicts any officer on impeachment, they may also bar that person from holding any public office in the future. And Section 3 of the Fourteenth Amendment prohibits the election to any federal office of any person who had held any federal or state office and then engaged in insurrection, rebellion or treason; this disqualification can be waived if such an individual gains the consent of two-thirds of both houses of Congress.In addition, the Twelfth Amendment establishes that the Vice-President must meet all of the qualifications of being a President.Although not a mandatory requirement, Federal campaign finance laws including the Federal Election Campaign Act state that a candidate who intends to receive contributions aggregating in excess of $5,000 or make expenditures aggregating in excess of $5,000, among others, must first file a Statement of Candidacy with the Federal Election Commission.[10] This has led presidential candidates, especially members from the two major political parties, to officially announce their intentions to run as early as the spring of the previous calendar year so they can start raising or spending the money needed for their nationwide campaign.[5] Potential candidates usually form exploratory committees even earlier to determining the feasibility of them actually running.Nominating process[edit]Main articles: United States presidential primary and United States presidential nominating conventionA 2008 Democratic caucus meeting in Iowa City, Iowa. The Iowa caucuses are traditionally the first major electoral event of presidential primaries and caucuses.Madison Square Garden in New York City, the site of the 1976, 1980, and 1992 Democratic National Conventions; and the 2004 Republican National Convention.The floor of the 2008 Republican National Convention at the Xcel Energy Center in Saint Paul, Minnesota.The modern nominating process of U.S. presidential elections consists of two major parts: a series of presidential primary elections and caucuses held in each state, and the presidential nominating conventions held by each political party. This process was never included in the United States Constitution, and thus evolved over time by the political parties to clear the field of candidates.The primary elections are run by state and local governments, while the caucuses are organized directly by the political parties. Some states hold only primary elections, some hold only caucuses, and others use a combination of both. These primaries and caucuses are staggered generally between January and June before the federal election, with Iowa and New Hampshire traditionally holding the first presidential state caucus and primary, respectively.Like the general election, presidential caucuses or primaries are indirect elections. The major political parties officially vote for their presidential candidate at their respective nominating conventions, usually all held in the summer before the federal election. Depending on each state's law and state's political party rules, when voters cast ballots for a candidate in a presidential caucus or primary, they may be voting to awarddelegates "bound" to vote for a candidate at the presidential nominating conventions, or they may simply be expressing an opinion that the state party is not bound to follow in selecting delegates to their respective national convention.Unlike the general election, voters in the U.S. territories can also elect delegates to the national conventions. Furthermore, each political party can determine how many delegates to allocate to each state and territory. In 2012 for example, the Democratic and Republican party conventions each used two different formulas to allocate delegates. The Democrats-based theirs on two main factors: the proportion of votes each state gave to the Democratic candidate in the previous three presidential elections, and the number of electoral votes each state had in the Electoral College.[11] In contrast, the Republicans assigned to each state 10 delegates, plus 3 delegates per congressional district.[12] Both parties then gave fixed amounts of delegates to each territory, and finally bonus delegates to states and territories that passed certain criteria.[11][12]Along with delegates chosen during primaries and caucuses, state and U.S. territory delegations to both the Democratic and Republican party conventions also include "unpledged" delegates that have a vote. For Republicans, they consist of the three top party officials from each state and territory. Democrats have a more expansive group of unpledged delegates called "superdelegates", who are party leaders and elected officials.Each party's presidential candidate also chooses a vice presidential nominee to run with him or her on the same ticket, and this choice is rubber-stamped by the convention.If no single candidate has secured a majority of delegates (including both pledged and unpledged), then a "brokered convention" results. All pledged delegates are then "released" and are able to switch their allegiance to a different candidate. Thereafter, the nomination is decided through a process of alternating political horse trading, and additional rounds of re-votes.[13][14][15][16]The conventions have historically been held inside convention centers, but since the late 20th century both the Democratic and Republican parties have favoredsports arenas and domed stadiums to accommodate the increasing attendance.The popular vote on Election Day[edit]A Texas voter about to mark a selection for president on a ballot, 2008 Election Day Under the United States Constitution, the manner of choosing electors for the Electoral College is determined by each state's legislature. Although each state designates electors by popular vote, other methods are allowed. For instance, insteadof having a popular vote, a number of states used to select presidential electors by a direct vote of the state legislature itself.However, federal law does specify that all electors must be selected on the same day, which is "the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November," i.e., a Tuesday no earlier than November 2 and no later than November 8.[17] Today, the states and the District of Columbia each conduct their own popular elections on Election Day to help determine their respective slate of electors. Thus, the presidential election is really an amalgamation of separate and simultaneous state elections instead of a single national election run by the federal government.Like any other election in the United States, the eligibility of an individual for voting is set out in the Constitution and regulated at state level. The Constitution states that suffrage cannot be denied on grounds of race or color, sex or age for citizens eighteen years or older. Beyond these basic qualifications, it is the responsibility of state legislatures to regulate voter eligibility.Generally, voters are required to vote on a ballot where they select the candidate of their choice. The presidential ballot is a vote "for the electors of a candidate" meaning that the voter is not voting for the candidate, but endorsing a slate of electors pledged to vote for a specific presidential and vice presidential candidate.Many voting ballots allow a voter t o “blanket vote” for all candidates in a particular political party or to select individual candidates on a line by line voting system. Which candidates appear on the voting ticket is determined through a legal process known as ballot access. Usually, the size of the candidate's political party and the results of the major nomination conventions determine who is pre-listed on the presidential ballot. Thus, the presidential election ticket will not list every candidate running for President, but only those who have secured a major party nomination or whose size of their political party warrants having been formally listed. Laws are in effect to have other candidates pre-listed on a ticket, provided that enough voters have endorsed the candidate, usually through a signature list.The final way to be elected for president is to have one's name written in at the time of election as a write-in candidate. This is used for candidates who did not fulfill the legal requirements to be pre-listed on the voting ticket. It is also used by voters to express a distaste for the listed candidates, by writing in an alternative candidate for president such as Mickey Mouse or comedian Stephen Colbert (whose application was voted down by the South Carolina Democratic Party). In any event, a write-in candidate has never won an election for President of the United States.Because U.S. territories are not represented in the Electoral College, U.S. citizens in those areas do not vote in the general election for President. Guam has held straw polls for president since the 1980 election to draw attention to this fact.[18]Electoral college[edit]Main article: Electoral College (United States)Electoral College map showing the results of the 2016 U.S. presidential election. Republican candidate Donald Trump won the popular vote in 30 states (denoted in red) to capture 305 electoral votes (plus 1 electoral vote from Maine's second congressional district). Democraticcandidate Hillary Clinton won the popular vote in 20 states and Washington, D.C. (denoted in blue) to capture 232 electoral votes.Most state laws establish a winner-take-all system, wherein the ticket that wins a plurality of votes wins all of that state's allocated electoral votes, and thus has their slate of electors chosen to vote in the Electoral College. Maine and Nebraska do not use this method, instead giving two electoral votes to the statewide winner and one electoral vote to the winner of each Congressional district.Each state's winning slate of electors then meets at their respective state's capital on the first Monday after the second Wednesday in December to cast their electoral votes on separate ballots for President and Vice President. Although Electoral College members can technically vote for anyone under the U.S. Constitution, 24 states have laws to punish faithless electors,[19] those who do not cast their electoral votes for the person whom they have pledged to elect.In early January, the total Electoral College vote count is opened by the sitting Vice President, acting in his capacity as President of the Senate, and read aloud to a joint session of the incoming Congress, which was elected at the same time as the President.If no candidate receives a majority of the electoral vote (at least 270), the President is determined by the rules outlined by the 12th Amendment. Specifically, the selection of President would then be decided by a contingent election in a ballot of the House of Representatives. For the purposes of electing the President, each state has only one vote. A ballot of the Senate is held to choose the Vice President. In this ballot, each senator has one vote. The House of Representatives has chosen the victor of the presidential race only twice, in 1800 and 1824; the Senate has chosen the victor of the vice-presidential race only once, in 1836.If the President is not chosen by Inauguration Day, the Vice President-elect acts as President. If neither are chosen by then, Congress by law determines who shall act as President, pursuant to the 20th Amendment.Unless there are faithless electors, disputes, or other controversies, the events in December and January mentioned above are largely a formality since the winner canbe determined based on the state-by-state popular vote results. Between the general election and Inauguration Day, this apparent winner is referred to as the "President-elect" (unless it is a sitting President that has won re-election).Election calendar[edit]The typical periods of the presidential election process are as follows, with the dates corresponding to the 2016 general election:∙Spring 2015 – Candidates announce their intentions to run, and (if necessary) file their Statement of Candidacy with the Federal Election Commission ∙August 2015 to March 2016 – Primary and caucus debates∙February 1 to June 14, 2016 – Primaries and caucuses∙April to August, 2016 – Nominating conventions (including those of the minor third parties)∙September and October, 2016 – Presidential election debates∙November 8, 2016 – Election Day∙December 19, 2016 – Electors cast their electoral votes∙January 6, 2017 – Congress counts and certifies the electoral votes∙January 20, 2017 – Inauguration DayTrends[edit]Previous experience[edit]See also: List of Presidents of the United States by previous experience and List of Presidents of the United States by other offices heldJohn Adams was the first of a record-high 26 presidents who had been lawyersA number of trends in the political experience of presidents have been observed. Between 1956 and the last completed 2012 election, the presidential nominees of both major parties have been either incumbent presidents seeking re-election, sitting or former vice presidents, sitting or former U.S. Senators, or sitting or former state Governors.Fourteen Presidents have served as Vice President. However, only John Adams (1796), Thomas Jefferson (1800), Martin Van Buren (1836), Richard Nixon (1968) andGeorge H. W. Bush (1988) began their first term after winning an election. Among the remaining nine who began their first term as President according to thepresidential line of succession after their respective predecessor died or resigned from office, Theodore Roosevelt, Calvin Coolidge, Harry S. Truman, andLyndon B. Johnson were reelected. John Tyler, Millard Fillmore, Andrew Johnson, Chester A. Arthur, and Gerald Ford served as President but became president through succession and not election. Ford became President after Nixon's resignation in 1974 through the processes of the Twenty-fifth Amendment and then lost the 1976 presidential election, making him the only President to have not to have been elected to national office. Sixteen presidents had served in the Senate, including four of the five Presidents who served between 1945 and 1974. However, only three were sitting U.S. Senators at the time they were elected president (Warren G. Harding in 1920, John F. Kennedy in 1960, and Barack Obama in 2008). Major-party candidate Senators Andrew Jackson (1824), Lewis Cass (1848), Stephen Douglas (1860), Barry Goldwater (1964), George McGovern (1972), John Kerry (2004), and John。

美国大选英语作文
美国大选英语作文The 2020 US presidential election has been one of the most contentious and polarizing in recent history. The two main candidates, Donald Trump and Joe Biden, have starkly different visions for the future of the country.Trump's presidency has been marked by his brash and unapologetic style, as well as his controversial policies on immigration, trade, and healthcare. Many of his supporters admire his no-nonsense approach and view him as a champion of the "forgotten" American.Biden, on the other hand, has positioned himself as a unifier, promising to heal the divisions that have plagued the country in recent years. His decades of experience in politics and his empathetic demeanor have won him the support of many who are disillusioned with Trump's leadership.The election has also been overshadowed by the COVID-19pandemic, which has had a profound impact on the way the campaign has been conducted. With social distancing measures in place, both candidates have had to rely heavily on virtual events and media appearances to reach voters.One of the most hotly debated issues in this electionis the future of the Supreme Court. With the recent passing of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, there is a vacancy on the court that could potentially shift its ideological balance for years to come. This has led to intense partisan wrangling over when and how her replacement should be nominated and confirmed.The outcome of this election will have far-reaching implications for the future of the United States. Theresult will not only determine the direction of the country for the next four years, but also the tone and tenor of political discourse for the foreseeable future.。

Elections are the lifeblood of a democracy. The word democracy literally means "the people rule," an important concept in America's history. In the mid-1700s, England began passing laws that made the American colonies angry. The colonists had to pay more and more taxes and enjoyed less and less freedom. They felt the government of England didn't represent their interests. On July 4, 1776, the colonies declared their independence from England. They wanted to establish a democracy where people could have a voice in government.选举是民主的原动力。
