LOGIC BEHIND STRENGTHENING THE US PRESIDENCY
Different countries have a different administration system that they apply, where the United States has a peculiar system of all. This paper discusses why strengthening the US government, and the unitary executive has caused diverse development in the United States. The United States president is vested with excessive authority, which is contradictory to most nations globally, which are operated in parliamentary systems of administration (Blair, 2020). The United States president is proven to have the most powerful elected official globally. The founders of the state initially had intentions of the presidency to have a narrowly controlled organization. They have learned from the colonial system of governance that executive power was inimical to liberty since they felt betrayed by the actions of Gorge III, who was the king of Ireland and Great Britain and therefore opted to allocate the policymaking authority.
They also felt a robust executive discordant with the republications incorporated in the Declaration of Independence held in 1776 (Tamaki, 2020). This was the actual logic behind the strengthening of the United States presidency. The unitary executive is a concept in the United States constitutional law that embraces that the president in the US owes the authority to govern the whole executive office. The US is one of the known developed countries in the world.
The concept of unitary executive is proved to influence the most significant impact on the development of the United States (Velut, 2021). The president can control the whole executive, thereby giving room for cohesion and harmonious administration. The president has the mandate to take control of the whole administration. This enables him or her to effectively learn the government with a critical goal of promoting the development of the United States. The president can govern the subordinate officers and agencies where he does away with the unproductive ones and preserves the best. In my view, this presidential style of leadership is the best and appropriate for the application. This is because the president is given all powers over the unitary executive. The president can exercise all powers, assess the functioning of the government, and do away with the unproductive executive. This is evident from the successful development experience in the United States.
