Times are changing in the United States, recently for the worse and more and more mistakes and bad decisions are being made by not only the current president but also by the US Government as well. Current presidents should be allowed to speak out against a current president. Especially if those former presidents notice that the current president is doing something that is not benefiting the American citizens.

Even though America is known as the land of the free and the citizens are told they have the right to freedom of speech, citizens feel as though those rights have been or are being taken away from them. Citizens should be given and offered the right to exercise those rights.

Having the pressure of running an entire country, I am sure is allot of work and can be very stressful at times to have, not only everything depending on your decision, but as well as fingers pointed at you by all others in the country. Not to mention the stress of hearing disappointing comments from citizens and not getting the full support from all citizens.

Former presidents should be able to step in at times they may feel it is needed and give a supporting hand at situations that they feel the current president is unable to take control of and is unable to make the proper decisions that will not only benefit the American Citizens but as well as the economy and the government budget.

Especially if those former presidents were able to take better control of what ever the crisis may had be during their term as president. They should have the right to speak out against the current president and tell that current president what they are doing wrong and tell them what they can or should do to make it better.

Just because that current president is voted in as the leader of the United States, doesn't mean he should be forced or allowed to make all the decisions on his own without consulting the citizens of the United States. Citizens should be given the freedom and the right to speak out about the current president and offer logical suggestions that will help assist in the president's decision that will or could affect the citizens. If citizens are given the right to vote for their next president, they should also have the right to vote on any and all decisions that, that president may make.
