My paper on the president

[justateenwhocares]

Does anyone know what the president's benefits, his seven powers, his duties, or even what the former president's benifits are??I looked on all kind of search engines and I can't seem to find it anywhere. Thanks so much for your help to those who can help.

Here try this link from ROLLS OF THE PRESIDENT FROM WORLD BOOK

[Chad Fairbanks]

his seven powers

I believe the powers are Flying, Superhuman Strength, ESP, Run Faster than a train, Jump over tall buildings, Shapeshifting, and X-Ray Vision (Although from what I understand, they don't actually get the X-Ray vision until they have a second term...)

More details here.

THIS might just help...

I think this has what you need. It outlines Presidential powers as well as benefits for current and former presidents. http://www.worldwidewebfind.com/encyclopedia/en/wikipedia/p/pr/president_of_the_united_states.html

P.S. I found this by searching on "President" "Benefits" "Powers" on Yahoo.

His seven powers:

Throwing the "Busharang"
Bending Congress
Flipping evildoers the "Bully Pulpit"
Hyper-Veto
Receiving "Secret Service" (Clinton Administration only)
Electoral-Vision
Clouding Dennis Kucinich's Mind (admittedly, not a very difficult task).

Hope this helps!

To help you w/ future searches, pay particular attention to the search terms that posters have told you they used. When I first started using the Internet for research papers, I had quite a bit of trouble until I learned the knack of using the right search words.

Tough love. But even going to library these days, she'd probably end up searching the web.

Your diorama needed here.

Try going to a library and doing some real research

Reminds me of the film history paper I had to do a few years ago...rolling thru miles & miles of micro-fiche film of the NYT for film reviews til my eyes looked (and felt) like I'd been on a 3 day drunk. Ugh...something I don't care to repeat!

I knew this thread would take an ugly tern.

Heheheh.

To find out the answer to your question, I asked John Kerry. Here are the responses he gave:

The President's Duties:

1. Run a home-based lab to produce flu vaccine and prevent shortages
2. Repeat the word "plan" a lot
3. Protect America against terror while simultaneously...
4. not protecting America against terror for fear of offending someone
5. Provide health insurance to all Americans
6. Tax the rich
7. Lick France, Germany, and Russia's collective ass
8. Create better jobs for Americans, such as those which would be created by my government-run health "plan"
9. Try to be nice to John Edwards
10. Quit smirking


The President's Seven Powers:

1. Omnipotence
2. Omniscience
3. The President is God and should have fixed everything by now.
4. I am God, but was unable to fix things because of President God's interference.
5. Republicans are scum
6. Okay, technically #5 isn't a power, per se, but since I'm God, I can change the rules anytime I want.
7. I hate you.

The Benefits for Former Presidents:

1. Who cares, I've got Teresa.

"Now aren't you special??"

I agree with your comment to the earlier post. There are too many smart-mouth freepers out there who give a sour taste to this website while they lecture others to show some "personal responsibility."

There ARE times when we ought to HELP others instead of turning on the stupid sarcasm, snide, self-righteous comments, and pretensions to superior intellect and character. It really doesn't hurt to respond to a request for assistance by actually offering assistance instead of short, snide, SMARTASS comments. The person to whom you directed your comment should consider it, along with a host of other so-called freepers.

Then they wonder why the Democrats refer to all of us as self-centered FREEPTARDS.
