President Barack Obama has had a big year. Obama has focused on many of the issues that have been important, like the environment, health care, and America’s relations with the rest of the world. He has also tried to help students and workers.
In June, the Obama administration scored a big win when the Supreme Court supported an important part of the Affordable Care Act, often referred to as Obamacare. This health care law is one of Obama’s signature achievements—and one of the things his opponents most want to undo.
Obama also achieved several of his foreign-relations goals in 2015. In October, a nuclear accord with Iran that had been many months in the making received final approval. The deal, which Republicans and even some Democrats strongly opposed, eases restrictions on Iran in exchange for promises that the nation will not try to build nuclear weapons and will allow its nuclear sites to be monitored by an international body.
President Obama spoke up for this year the rights of working people and students. He signed laws that promise paid time off for sick workers and fair wages for those who work overtime. He also revealed his America’s College Promise plan, which aims to make higher education more affordable by providing, among other things, free community college to all students.
