According to the article above Candidates whether it is the president, vice president, or even the senator have a CONSTITUTIONAL right to LIE! WHAT!!! This is really wrong and I am thinking that the main reason why some people don't go to vote is because they believe that there is no point of voting for a leader that is going to go in office and "relax".
Even though this right makes the candidate feel that they are free to lie anytime we can't really tell when people are lying and when they are telling the truth. Sometimes these candidates want to get into office for "power." Thanks to checks and balances so that each branch has the power over the other branch otherwise we would be living in a tyranny. We need true leaders that can lead the our nation to a bright future. Our reason for no progression is because people want to lie so they could have a reputation but they don't know that they are ruining the lives of millions and millions of people. A leader is not someone that makes promises but it's the one that keeps is promises and has the strength to say that he is not perfect and he needs help running the country.
Before I used to think that we should have presidents that are immigrants from different countries so that they can bring in different ideas that can help our nation succeed but that may not be the case after reading this article. If the citizens of their own country are not willing to walk on the path of truth how can we expect someone from somewhere else to tell the truth.
Question: How is our nation going to progress with liars?
