　　Elected president to attend church services, but also from Franklin·Roosevelt began to form the traditional deep -- he for future presidents effect. According to statistics, all American presidents have religious beliefs, but most are christians. (the Catholic Kennedy was the minority.) It is because of the impact of religious belief, American diplomacy often using human rights as a measure of an important factor.

Since the founding of the president American are the vast majority of christians. From the following some influence on USA history USA president religious background, we can see the religious influence in America politics:

The first president America Washington believes, USA independent is the "God" grace, he once said, "the state for more than American people admit, 'God' in everything they experience. Americans should not forget, 'God' big can reveal many times in the period of the revolution of our, Almighty 'God' is our only protection." In the presidential inauguration ceremony, "the Bible" kiss, "the Bible" hands on oath, and in the formal affirmation, also said the sentence "I swear, I pray 'God'". After successive presidents to the "Bible" oath, in his inaugural speech and pray, "God".

Moreover, during the war of independence, Washington ordered all officers to the soldiers to read the text as a day of prayer, and started with a chaplain in his troops in 1776 July. Since then until today, American has maintained a military combat soldiers before prayer and priests in the military with the habit (i.e.: American troops from the early establishment of a religion is armed forces).

The second President Adams, had done a full-time volunteer Christian priest, therefore entered the Harvard University to study theology. The president to move into the White House, Adams ordered the restaurant in the formal prayers inscribed: "I pray 'God', will be the best bless this house after living in the here and everyone, I hope that only honest man of wisdom always governance under this roof!" This prayer has carved the words on the White House restaurant.

Lincoln, the maintenance America unified President be remembered, for that always stood devout prayer. He has published numerous lectures also sounds like missionaries in the church in the sermon. He signed in late 1863 Thanksgiving Day, Thanksgiving is a created by the early Puritan celebration activities become a permanent holiday American history.

Mckinley, who started the war, from Spain captured Philippines, will USA colonies extends to the China door American president, is the Methodist church. He said "I believe in the divinity of Christ, and that the Christian world civilization is the most powerful factor."

Roosevelt nickname "strongman christians". Because of his conviction more inclined to "due to acts of righteousness" doctrine, trying respected acts on the winner. He said: "I believe" James ", Christians can not only listen, but also to track". Roosevelt adhere to the Reformed Church worship.

Wilson is Presbyterian, he repeatedly said, America is a Christian nation, "God" blessed American has a global mission.

Truman is a baptist. Truman in the pockets of players with their own prayer.

Eisenhower during his presidency, he asked in the "pledge of allegiance" with "USA belong to the 'God' dominate" the words, in the currency was printed on the "we trust 'God'".

Carter is a very devout faith Southern Baptist, Christian revival movement "in seventy's last century Jesus" will push Carter presidency. In response to the support of Christian conservatives, during the Carter administration, that human rights will be the cornerstone for USA diplomacy.

Reagan to conservative Christian beliefs. Reagan said, "I always firmly believe that everything has a god arrangements", "in addition to believe that this is' God 'plans, I can't explain how I was elected president". Reagan recognized very conservative evangelical Christian doctrine, Reagan demonstrated during the reign of the strongly anti Communist attitude depends on his evangelical beliefs. He because of the collapse of the Soviet Union and started the eighty time world "democratization", and Christian conservatives are considered to be the greatest American president since the founding of new china.

During the reign of George Bush often invited evangelical leader Graham to the White House of prayer, and George W. Bush's religious teacher. (Billy Graham since the age of Carter is the White House's religious teacher, closely. And Bush family agreement)

Clinton took office in 1993 the Southern Baptist believers, the eloquence with President also known known "Bible" and Christian theology, can easily use the Christian evangelical rhetoric.

America incumbent president George W. Bush is the representative American Christian conservative forces, these forces to support his waging two wars on the Islamic world -- the war in Afghanistan and Iraq war.

In USA, in most cases, the president's campaign to emphasize their devout Christian faith. Otherwise, almost no elected possible.

10: the 00 presidential inauguration ceremony process two:Restricted to the Capitol Hill -- power

Outgoing president Bush accompanied President Obama from the White House, Capitol Hill to attend the inauguration parade. Obama took the oath of office in the The United States Capitol outside the west. From Reagan in 1981, was sworn in as president when the ceremony is held here. 

Obama in the general election, winning is the "unofficial results", in accordance with the law, but also the need for the Electoral College votes and parliamentary vote counting the two steps. In January 8, 2009, USA Congress in counting the electoral votes officially announced that Obama was elected the forty-fourth president of USA. The president's inauguration ceremony was held at the Houses of Parliament on the west, and presided over by a senator and speech.

The president and Congress, three right in the America discrete system interaction. Government official appointed all needs the approval of Congress, Congress also has the power to impeach the president. The president's biggest restriction to the Congress can veto the bill Congress is proposed, which does not become law.

USA president is one of the world's most powerful job, but few people say America presidential dictatorship. The president has the right to go to war in Iraq, but in more than a month ago, but American Congress would Bush proposed 700000000000 rescue plan, this one can not help but the power relations of USA Congress and the president have doubts -- American exactly is the president's power, or the power of Congress?

American presidential power, although large, but should be controlled congress. The power of Congress although large, but the president can veto bills in Congress. Between the president and Congress are weighing, restrict each other.

In the diplomatic, military, the president's power is greater than the congress. The president has the right to decide whether to admit a new country and a new government. For example, the independence of Kosovo, the first to admit Bush, Congress had no power to veto. In military terms, the president is the commander in chief, the armed forces commander in chief, has the right to transfer the armed forces, to master the nuclear button. Although the war declaration of war power belongs to the Congress, but in many cases, the president can undeclared war, any war, Congress took him no way. Happened two hundred times of war USA history, so far, only five times by Congress a formal declaration of war, the Anglo American war in 1846 1814, the Mexican American war, the two World War and the Gulf War in 1991, the rest are undeclared. Thus, the president's war power is great, who became president America, meant that he could go to any country.

The president also has a great power that can not veto congressional bill into law. At this time, to return to the house of Representatives and the Senate bill would re vote of both houses of Congress, with 2/3 (commonly known as the absolute majority) through, to override the president's veto of a bill automatically become law, the bill. President Roosevelt has frequently veto, known as the imperial presidency. The legislative power mainly to the Congress, any bill must be passed by Congress NPC and CPPCC, but to the president to sign into law.

In addition, the ministers (including Secretary of state, American no foreign minister and prime minister, the Secretary of state is the Minister of Foreign Affairs) and officials are appointed by the president, but it must be approved by the Senate, half of the people (commonly known as simple majority vote) to take effect, also said the Senate may reject the presidential appointments. Under normal circumstances, Congress will pass a presidential appointment, USA history only nine did not pass.

From the above view, the powers of the president seems to be great. However, the president and his administration is doing the wrong thing, Congress has the power to recall the president and government officials. The impeachment procedure proposed by house after the vote, a simple majority (half) is passed, then handed over to the Senate investigation proceedings. Irrefutable evidence, if the Senate by an absolute majority (2/3) through, then the president formally dismissed. Former president Clinton once because of scandals of impeachment by the house of Representatives, but failed in the Senate impeachment, so no success. Nixon because of the Watergate impeachment by the house of Representatives, but not the Senate vote, he resigned. In general, USA haven't an impeachment deposed president.

Although the war by the president to say, but, if excessive military spending, this year's military budget has run out, Congress not to give him funding, so his war cannot proceed. This is the only can limit the president to wage war. Because the local control of congress Congress grant right, president this voice is very small. The above said 700000000000 rescue package, is composed of Bush proposed in the Senate, the house of representatives had, but that is USA socialist development, unreasonable, did not approve the funding, so it was rejected. Later Bush modify part of the rescue package, and to 850000000000, to get through congress. From the above view, the president and Congress can veto.

In American political system "tripod", the president (Administration) and the Congress is an important poles, but also frequently between poles. In the design of our founders, the president and Congress naturally to USA internal and foreign affairs of the division of labour, in foreign affairs, the president's power than Congress, but in a domestic policy, the president's power is smaller. In most of the time, both sides have maintained a tacit understanding and the balance of power between the tacit, any break the balance of one party will be firmly against the other party. From a certain extent USA that system had advantages of his, after USA since the founding of the nation, has never had a coup and separatist activities.

11: the 30 presidential inauguration ceremony process three:The ceremony begins: a tribute to Lincoln

Senator Diane Feinstein announced the inauguration ceremony began, and welcome speech.The inaugural ceremony of the theme of "a new birth of freedom". It comes from Lincoln's famous Getisibao speech, speech of the sacrifice in the Civil War soldiers, and said: "we should learn more dedication from these worthy of dead bodies, to complete them all loyal business for it; here we will make the greatest determination, not make martyrs in vain; be under God, make our country have a new birth of freedom; to the people, by the people, the government of the." Obama thinks, facing major challenges and changes in the America, should embody this spirit, to promote national unity.

Getisibao speech --Abraham Lincoln

Eighty-seven years ago, our ancestors created a new state in the mainland. Conceived in liberty. Dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.

Now, we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation, conceived in liberty and adhere to the principle of the nation can survive long. A great battle we gathered in the field of the war. We are meeting here, is to dedicate a portion of that field of martyrs is dedicated to those who die for the survival of this country, as a final resting place. We do this, is, to a proper extent of behoove.

But, in a larger sense, we cannot dedicate, cannot consecrate, we cannot hallow - this ground. The living and the dead bravely fought here have hallowed it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here today. However, the world will never forget what they did here. Those of us who live, rather to be dedicated to the warriors with a noble spirit forward and unfinished business, to be dedicated to the great task still in front of us -- we need to learn more dedication from these worthy of dead bodies, to complete them all loyalty cause for it; we're here in the greatest determination, not make martyrs blood; be under God, make our country have a new birth of freedom; to the people, by the people, the government of the.

The inauguration ceremony of the president of the four processes: the parson prayed --Religious Allusions

After the Senate speech, pray Rick Warren.Under the influence of religion, the inauguration of the president has also arranged a pastor's prayer.

Although America implements the separation of church and state, but it has long been regarded as the country's religion of Western countries. Few countries like USA in public and political life have so much of the ritual: the most important American national holiday -- independence day July 4th and May 26th Memorial Day -- the religious ceremony to commemorate; congress working day period of from pastor prayer; USA ceremonies the inauguration ceremony, funeral -- or the president -- the religious ceremony.

American religious rituals as ethnic identity adhesive. A ceremony is held each of all the citizens of traditional education, as the American national spirit has provided a strong psychological hint.

The spirit of freedom of religion and run parallel America

USA foundation and the lush foliage is religion, which is one of the most important features of the America, because few other countries can claim to be the religious and ethnic self so nature com. Understand this point, in order to understand the American self-image and foreign behavior.

The French political scientist Tocqueville, described in the study revealed the characteristics of USA classics,: "in France, I see is the religious spirit and the spirit of freedom is almost always draw further apart; and in the USA, I find that both are closely combined, jointly ruled the country."

In Chinese such a most of its population is atheist country, many people confused is USA, why there are so many people so devotion to religion, so full of passion? However, on the America religion why free value and the America run parallel to this point, but very few people to think. A problem may be by sociologists or religious experts to answer, then a question is political economists think things.

In between the Christian faith and modern political and diplomatic reality known German Americans Reinhard GERD Niebuhr, who took the Americans to express their values with religious forms of the phenomenon called "free culture". He thinks, Americans so hold this illusion, because they carry on the fate of the nation's religious views, namely, the United Nations is God made to create a new beginning of human history.

The religious view state before and after the secularization in America, to 1754 America before the founding of the PRC, America politicians depiction of the national mission began to change for the "Declaration of independence" in the ownership of private property right --, equality before the law and the pursuit of happiness. Even so, paradoxically, enlightenment strengthened rather than weakened Puritanism; America with its own image to reconstruct the world mission is considered not only by God's permission, but also by the rational justification.

America has long been regarded as the most religious country in the west, "city on the hill" is the core of American cultural identity. Although USA implement the separation of church and state, but USA as one of the strongest a religious social identity is the need to open, God bless me. I'm afraid we rarely see any other country like USA in public and political life have so much of the ritual: the most important American national holiday -- independence day July 4th and May 26th Memorial Day -- the religious ceremony to commemorate; congress working day period of from the priest USA prayer; the ceremony of inauguration ceremony, funeral -- or the president -- the religious ceremony. Whenever American met national crisis, Americans are in form of religion to seek solace in prayer and religious. We will remember clearly, suffered 9 / 11 terrorist attacks in the USA, Bush president to speak in excitement emotion speech at the end of the last sentence is: "God bless American."

Until now, all about the main national religious beliefs and behaviors of opinion polls have shown, American that come out in front in the world. In 1994 Gallup poll, 96% of Americans say they believe in God, in 1995, 43% of Americans said they went to church, 69% said they joined the church or synagogue.

These are America scholar Robert Bela as early as 1976 mentioned American "civil religion" part of the form. In his view, "civil religion" is the common characteristics of the legacy of history, it has become a cultural force binding.

USA civil religion and American "separation of church and state" of these two seemingly contradictory things how can coexist in harmony? USA scholar J N Demolasi and Rees Williams on this issue are explained as follows: these two seemingly inconsistent things actually are symbiotic. Every one against another excessive development, because of the important government policy of church and state are separated, people can indulge in a symbolic civil religion; at the same time, completely split between the separation of church and state American never of church and state, because there are the two together. Public ritual.

De Mo Lars also think, America separation of church and state is not unique, because all the European Constitution provides a guarantee for religious freedom. America mainstream religion really unique in the Free Church there. The world's religious liberals will soon out of its belief system, to complete the liberalism, but in America, liberal secular very slowly, which largely lies in freedom of religion and a series of compulsory religious worship in a play.

One of the most important political significance of civil religion is that it makes "USA exception" theory to win support among the people. In 1941, founded and owned "era" wealth "and" life "" America three magazine's Henry Ruth, from the "America exception" theory in twentieth Century called "America century". He believes that in twentieth Century, America is constantly expanding business center, be happy in doing good is devotion to God, is an ideal source for freedom and justice, "USA as benevolent hegemony, or paternal authority to play a role in". This is America hegemony can be "the root of this idea of benevolent hegemony", this concept is still in effect American self-image and foreign behavior. President George W. Bush's foreign policy is a reflection of this.

According to the Convention, the vice president elect president elect the oath was sworn in before.In the Supreme Court justice John Paul accompanied by Stevens, the vice president elect Barack Biden was sworn in.Vice president after the oath, the band followed by playing "drum sing" (Ruffles and Flourishes) and "Hail to the chief" (Hail to the Chief).

2, "swear" the act itself is the use of religious view of the president's words and deeds. Vow to pledge inner constraint is strong. Of course, USA is a country under the rule of law, vowed not to represent all OK, institutional constraints that are useful tools for monitoring national leaders.

3, the presidential oath presided over by the chief justice of the Supreme Court, also happens to symbolize the separation of three rights American. Judicial power is a power American three power, the Supreme Court's position is very important, it can restrain the legislative and presidential congressional executive powers. The chief justice of the oath is the traditional judicial right respect.In addition, this obligation is chief justice is traditional, rather than constitutional. In fact, American all state judge, federal judge and notaries have legal authority administer oaths and declarations. However, in addition to a small number of the president, from second American President John Adams began to take the oath of office is presided over by the chief justice.

4, according to the "Bible" hand was sworn in by caused by the influence of religion. The first president America Washington believes, USA independent is the "God" grace.

This method also known as a traditional and continue down, only Theodore - Roosevelt sworn in 1901 did not hand "Bible" took the oath.In the inaugural speech, president also pray to "God".

5, it is also noteworthy, Obama the oath for "Bible" Lincoln used. Lincoln led America abolished slavery, has been considered one of the greatest America president. Sworn in Lincoln's "Bible", Obama seems to learn advanced to the end.

Relevant information:

3, Obama will hand on Lincoln's Bible "used" sworn

 

International Online Zhuangao: according to "today" and American American British "times" reported in December 24th, American president elect Barack Obama since the campaign began, he repeatedly said to President Lincoln, for example, said he got a lot of inspiration from Lincoln. Recently, Obama's Presidential Inaugural Committee announced, Obama had already decided, in January 20, 2009, was sworn in, hand on Lincoln's Bible "over the use of" oath. It seems, Obama will learn Lincoln through to the end.

Lincoln no second people used the "Bible"

In 1861 March, Abraham Lincoln was sworn in as the sixteenth president of USA. In his inaugural address, Lincoln hands on a "Bible" swear to the judge. The "Bible" is 15 centimeters long, 10 centimeters wide, 4.5 centimeters thick, on both sides of the sheath is Wine chromatic flannelette, inlaid with gold plated tin side, a total of 1280 pages, published by University of Oxford press in 1853 printing. The "Bible" since then has been deposited in the America Library of Congress, no one USA President used.

The "Bible" is said to be Lincoln used one of the two, by the then supreme court clerk William Thomas Carol on Inauguration Day buy. Later, Carol specially wrote on the back of the "Bible" remarks, proved that this book is for the inauguration of President Lincoln. The Federal Supreme Court also covered the seal, as a proof.

In fact, America "constitution" does not regulate the inauguration of president must use a specific "Bible" version, presidents are generally based on personal or historical meaning selection preferences "Bible" version. Obama and I wanted to borrow the president Lincoln once used "the Bible". Presidential Inaugural Committee Amit Berif said: "Library of Congress has agreed to lend the" Bible "President Lincoln used Obama, honored. Use this historic "Bible", will show the significance of new president and all American people share the common history, inheritance."

Obama is to follow the example of Lincoln

President Lincoln was considered one of the greatest president American, British "times" was in 2008 American lieutenant general Lincoln the greatest president rating activities listed as one of the greatest president. [exclusive] American greatest president Lincoln for the first America rankings since the start of the campaign for president elect Obama has vowed to take Lincoln as an example. After winning the November 4th election, when asked about the "Bible" in addition, he will bring the book into the White House, Obama said he would take "team of rivals". This book is about how Mr Lincoln absorption political opponents into the cabinet, to help him keep American unity in the dark days of the civil war history. Obviously, Obama get a lot of inspiration from this book, the most obvious example is enabled rival Hilary as secretary of state.

Obama's victory speech in Grant Park in Chicago, had to borrow Lincoln in his inauguration speech in one sentence: "we are not enemies, but friends." Obama also plans to use the Lincoln in Gettysburg speech -- "the birth of" new freedom, as his inaugural speech.

Obama is a master of rhetoric, his speech will not disappoint.
