JA 8 B Civics: April 22-26

This week we will continue our investigation of the Executive Branch of government. We will discuss the duties & powers of the President & Vice
President, as well as what other members of the Executive Branch do on a daily basis to help make government run smoothly. We will also cover checks & balances & the role they play for the president. We will also discuss why the Constitution does not grant as many specific powers to the President as it does to the Congress. Why did the framers do this? We will examine how presidential power has grown over the course of our nation's history from Washington to Obama.
