Joseph Robinette Biden, Jr. Joe Biden (born November 20, 1942) is the 46th President of the United States of America since January 20, 2021. He previously served as the 47th Vice President of the United States from 2009 to 2017. President Barack Obama. A member of the Democratic Party, he represented Delaware as a senator from 1973 until he became vice president in 2009.
Biden was born in Scranton, Pennsylvania, in 1942, and lived there for ten years before moving with his family to Delaware. He became a lawyer in 1969, and was elected to the New Castle County Council in 1970. First elected to the Senate in 1972, he became the sixth youngest senator in US history.
Biden has been re-elected to the Senate six times, and was the fourth-largest member of the Senate when he resigned to become vice president in 2009. He was a longtime member and former chair of the Committee on Foreign Relations. He opposed the 1991 Gulf War, but called for the United States and NATO to intervene in the Bosnian War of 1994 and 1995. He voted for the resolution that authorized the Iraq War in 2002, but opposed the increase in US forces in 2007. He also served as chair of the Senate Judiciary Committee, where he addressed issues related to drug policy, crime prevention, and civil liberties, and led legislative efforts to create and enforce the Violent Crimes Act The law, and the law on combating violence against women. He chaired the Judiciary Committee during the US Supreme Court's controversial nominations of Justices Robert Burke and Clarence Thomas.
Biden sought the Democratic presidential nomination in 1988 and 2008, failing both times after lackluster bids. Then Barack Obama chose him as his running mate in the 2008 presidential race, which he won. Biden became the first Catholic and the first Delaware person to become the Vice President of the United States.
Vice President Biden oversaw infrastructure spending to counter the Great Recession and U.S. policy toward Iraq until the withdrawal of U.S. forces in 2011. His ability to negotiate with Republicans in Congress helped him introduce legislation such as the 2010 unemployment insurance, tax benefits, and job creation act. Which solved the tax deadlock, the 2011 Budget Control Act that solved the debt ceiling crisis that year, and the 2012 US Taxpayer Relief Act that addressed the impending “fiscal cliff” problem. In 2011, he opposed carrying out the military mission that resulted in the death of Osama bin Laden. Obama and Biden were re-elected in 2012. In October 2015, after months of speculation, Biden chose not to run for the presidency of the United States in 2016. In December 2016, he did not rule out the possibility of running for president in 2020, but announced on January 13, 2017, that he would not run. However, he retracted this after only four days, and did not rule out the process of his candidacy again. On January 12, 2017, Obama awarded him the Presidential Medal of Freedom. After Biden left office, he was appointed as a professor at the University of Pennsylvania.
Promessa de Pai pdf by Joe Biden
Em novembro de 2014, a família Biden se reuniu para o Dia de Ação de Graças. A data marcava uma tradição que os Biden celebram há mais de quarenta anos, uma pausa no que se tornou uma vida agitada, repleta de compromissos e submetida ao incessante julgamento público. O feriado, portanto, sempre foi uma folga bem-vinda, um momento de refletir sobre as bênçãos e provações que o ano havia trazido e sobre o que o futuro lhes reservaria.
Daquela vez, no entanto, a viagem foi diferente. Quinze meses antes, Beau, filho mais velho de Joe e Jill Biden, havia sido diagnosticado com um tumor maligno no cérebro, e sua sobrevivência já não era mais uma certeza. “Me prometa, papai. Me dê sua palavra que, não importa o que acontecer, você vai ficar bem”, foi o apelo do filho.
Joe Biden lhe deu sua palavra.
Promessa de pai narra os acontecimentos de 2015, o ano que viria a ser até então o mais importante e desafiador de uma vida e uma carreira extraordinárias. Como vice-presidente de Barack Obama, naquele ano Biden lidou com crises na Ucrânia, na América Central e no Iraque. Naqueles doze meses em que Beau travou até o fim a luta pela vida, o vice-presidente dividiu-se entre suas responsabilidades com o país e suas responsabilidades como pai e marido. Entretanto, até nos piores momentos, Biden foi capaz de se apoiar na força de seus profundos laços com a família, de sua fé e de sua verdadeira amizade com Obama.
Um livro escrito com emoção e vigor que nos mostra como a família e as amizades nos sustentam e sobre como a esperança, o propósito e a ação podem nos guiar através da dor da perda em direção a um novo futuro.
