美国总统一职,不仅对全美国意味着是主宰权力的宝座,而且对整个世界的政治、经济、军事也是一个极有影响的位置,就其权限、地位而言,它如同“帝王”一般。这一职位,从华盛顿的就职,到布什的白宫宣誓,已历时二百年,尽管人们对美国已卸任的四十位总统褒贬不一,各任总统的能力、威望、贡献也不尽相同,但有一个事实是不容否认的,即正是这些总统领导美国人民将美国从一个殖民地国家发展成为一个经济、军事的世界第一强 The post of president of the United States means not only the throne of power to dominate the entire United States, but also a very influential position on the political, economic and military affairs of the entire world. It is like an “imperial” in terms of its authority and status. This position, which took office from Washington to the oath of the White House in Bush, took two hundred years. Though people criticized the outgoing 40 presidents of the United States, and the capabilities, prestige and contributions of the presidents are different, However, there is one fact that can not be denied that it is precisely these presidents who led the U.S. people to develop the United States from a colonial country to a top economy and military world
