Answer: ethos, an appeal based on the speaker’s character.

Ethos is an appeal in which the speaker tries to establish his credibility by commenting on his character. In this case, the speaker's only argument to establish a better system for spending the funds is that he has been the President of the Student Council for two years now. With this statement, the speaker wants to establish his fitness to comment on an issue like this.
