The average American voter does not understand the structure of our government and its System of Checks and Balances. This is an important reason in why I wanted to write this type of history book. It is created in a chronological time frame, highlighting Donald Trump’s Presidency. We can never allow our political representatives to disturb or circumvent this balance of power.
Executive Branch Issues
This is the home of the President and his appointed staff. Read in Book I (Volume I) just how vicious presidential campaigns have become. As a voter, it is important to understand what motivates political candidates and understand how they stand on all important issues. Are they willing to compromise so that our government will work for we the people, or are they working strictly for their self-interest and one political party’s control?
In Book II (Volume II), you will read about why Trump’s personally chosen individuals for important Cabinet and Executive positions failed to represent the needs of the American people, and that so many were given Presidential pardons after being convicted of crimes. It also explains why he created numerous “acting” or interim Cabinet staff, and in particular, for the position of Attorney General.
Legislative Branch Issues
The Capitol Building is the workplace of Congress. In Book I, you will see how the Republican controlled House and Senate ruled their investigative Committee hearings. Were they searching for the truth about America’s problems or working toward assigning blame?
In Book II, you will see how differently Congress works when the Democratic Party gained control of the House of Representatives, although the Republican Party still remained in control under the leadership of Majority Leader Mitch McConnell.
Judicial Branch Issues
The Justice Building is the headquarters of the United States Department of Justice and home of the US Attorney General, who oversees the FBI, DEA, Immigration and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.
Throughout President Trump’s time in office, he removed individuals from the critical position of Attorney General whenever he believed that they were not fulfilling his demands. Due to the fact that the A.G. has full control over the Justice Department, this position requires the confirmation vote of the Senate.
In both Books I and II, you will gain an understanding as to why Donald Trump found it necessary to appoint so many Acting Attorney Generals. Is there really a “Deep State” within the Justice Department that was conspiring to overthrow Donald Trump’s Presidency?
