• The political climate: The political climate in which a president is elected can have a significant impact on the promises he or she makes. A president who is elected during a time of great economic or social unrest is more likely to make promises that are designed to address those concerns.
• The president's own personality and beliefs: The president's own personality and beliefs can also influence the promises he or she makes. A president who is personally committed to a particular issue is more likely to make promises related to that issue.
• The advice of the president's advisors: The president's advisors can play a significant role in shaping the promises that he or she makes. Advisors can provide the president with information about the realities of governing, and they can help the president to prioritize his or her goals.

Once a president is elected, he or she must confront the realities of governing. These realities often make it difficult for presidents to keep their promises. Some of the most common challenges that presidents face include:

• The need to compromise: In order to get anything done, presidents must often compromise with other politicians. This can lead to situations where the president is forced to break promises in order to achieve other goals.
• The limits of presidential power: The president of the United States is not a dictator. He or she must work within the limits of the Constitution and the law. This can make it difficult for presidents to achieve their goals, even if they have the support of the public.
• The unforeseen events: The world is a complex and unpredictable place. Presidents are often forced to deal with unexpected events, such as natural disasters or international crises. These events can make it difficult for presidents to keep their promises, even if they are ng their best.

Broken promises can have serious consequences for both the president and the public. For the president, broken promises can lead to a loss of public trust and support. This can make it difficult for the president to achieve his or her goals, and it can even lead to impeachment or resignation. For the public, broken promises can lead to a sense of cynicism and distrust. This can make it difficult for the public to believe anything that politicians say, and it can lead to a decline in civic engagement.

The presidential bargain is a complex and often contradictory one. Presidents are elected on a platform of promises, but once in office they must confront the realities of governing. These realities often make it difficult for presidents to keep their promises, and broken promises can have serious consequences for both the president and the public.

It is important for citizens to understand the challenges that presidents face when making promises. It is also important for citizens to hold presidents accountable for their promises. By ng so, we can help to ensure that presidents are held to a high standard of accountability and that the public trust is maintained.
