Question

After George Washington, how has the executive branch changed?

Answer 1

Hint: The executive branch is in charge of enforcing the law. The Supreme Court and lower federal courts comprise the judicial branch, which considers and handles cases under federal law.

Complete answer:
The president is the head of the executive branch, according to the Constitution. The president has the authority to implement the nation's rules, direct the army and navy, veto laws enacted by Congress, and monitor affairs with foreign countries, according to the Constitution. Presidents should be allowed to serve more than one four-year term, according to the delegates to the Constitutional Convention.

 According to scholars, the delegates wanted George Washington to be the first president because he was famous among them. Washington was elected in 1788 and 1792, and from 1789 to 1797, he served two four-year terms.

Washington set a precedent by declining to seek re-election to a third term. Before Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882–1945), who served three full terms from 1933 to 1945, every president followed Washington's lead. Roosevelt died in 1945, three months after his fourth term as a member of the Democratic Party.

When the Republican Party dominated Congress in 1947, it introduced an amendment limiting presidents to two terms in office. By March 1951, more than three-quarters of state legislatures had ratified the bill, making it the Constitution's Twenty-second Amendment.

The 22nd Amendment is a contentious issue. Some Americans believe that requiring the country to elect a new president every eight years is healthy. Others believe that limiting America's presidential election is undemocratic.

The Twenty-second Amendment was considered the most undemocratic part of the Constitution by President Ronald Reagan (1911–2004), who served two terms from 1981 to 1989.

Note: The presidency's credentials, privileges, and powers are specified in Article II of the Constitution. The PRESIDENT must be at least 35 years old and have spent at least 14 years in the United States.
