Can the President introduce a Bill?
It is not generally known, but any citizen including the president can present bills or ideas for bills to congress. It may not be easy, and ideas perceived as harebrained won't get far. If you are a US citizen then there are US senators and representatives who are there for you. Give them your ideas; that's what representation means. The president has an inside track and can find congress persons to sponsor and/or coauthor legislation that he is interested in, but that should not keep you from voicing your ideas.
Who can introduce a law to Congress?
In a state - any member of the State Legislature. In the Congress - any member of the Representative or Senator.
Who decides if someone can become a US Citizen?
There is no single person who makes this decision; it's a bureaucratic process. Any person born on US soil is a citizen by default. Any person who is a legal resident alien can make an application to become a naturalized citizen, and if the application is approved and the person fulfills the requirements they are a citizen. People can become citizens if they are married or related to current citizens. In certain cases people are granted citizenship for humanitarian reasons - usually if there's a credible threat to their lives if they return to their native land. There are restrictions placed on who can become a resident alien - quotas that prevent mass migrations from impoverished nations, screenings to weed out dangerous criminals, and the like - but aside from that the process is largely a matter of crossing T's and dotting I's.
Requirements for any one to run for us president?
Born in the US At least 35 years old 14-year US resident To appear on the ballot in any state, a petition with some large number of signatures must be submitted to the authorities in that state before a certain deadline. You do not have to be born in the US to run... You just have to be a born citizen. For instance I was born in Hanau Germany and I am still a born U.S citizen because one of my parents is a US citizen.
Why is it important for citizens to preserve the Constitution?
it is only important if you care about any and all of your rights, u know your right to speak freely to bear arms to own property to be able to protest things you fundamentally disagree with. it should be the utmost importance to every citizen
