"Mulvaney: The federal budget released today puts taxpayers first"
The article I read was about Trump's new 2018 fiscal budget. This budget is said to have two main points. The first is that the government should work for the people. The second is that our government should be more accountable to the people that are helping to fund it. This new budget is called "A New Foundation for American Greatness." Trumps goal in this is to have a "taxpayer first" budget. This budget is aimed to be most appealing to those who work hard and pay taxes. Trump wants to help allow people to spend more time with their families ,and for people to be able to earn the money they deserve in return for all their hard work.
In ap gov we have talked about the word fiscal and how it relates to money and taxes. We have also talked about the powers of the president. This power of creating the budget is very important to the people. How a president choses to spend/use the money is something crucial to our country.
After reading this article I have a better understanding on what President Trump wants for the future of our country. I like his plan for the budget because I think he is really trying to allow people to be able to earn what they work for. I think many other people will be fond of this budget as well.

shockingly fired
http://www.cnn.com/2017/05/09/politics/james-comey-fbi-trump-white-out/
On Tuesday Trump shocked many with his decision to fire the head of the FBI. James Comey,the head of the FBI,was talking to others and looked up on T.V. to find out that President Trump had fired him. He tried to make a joke out of the situation to lighten the mood in a room with many perplexed faces. Comey was in charge of the investigation to see if people in the Trump campaign team colluded with Russia in this past years election. The Trumps administration said that the reason for Comey being fired was the way he handled the Clinton email scandal. Democrats are comparing this action to firings in the Watergate-era. Roger Stone was one of the people who recommended that Comey be fired . Roger also was affiliated with the Russian investigation but Trumps says that Roger had nothing to do with Trump's decision. The letter from Trump sent to Comey firing him stated that Comey wasn't fit to lead the bureau. Even though Trump has the authority to do this many think it's not normal.
In AP Gov we have talked about actions of the President. The president is the chief executive and has many powers although there is checks on them. The president can issue executive orders. These orders are in relation with treaties which need senate approval. The president can also issue executive orders which have the affect off a law. Also the president can issue and executive privilege which is when the president holds information if it relates to national security. Many people are unhappy with the presidents decision to fire James Comey. Even though this decision is making many unhappy, this is in the President's powers to do.
This article is coming from a democratic standpoint.After reading this article I have a better understanding on the firing of the leader of the FBI. I do think the reason behind Trump firing Comey is not as clear as if should be. I think Trump should give more reasoning behind his action.
