JA 8 B Civics: April 15-19

JA students will be taking AIMS this week, so be sure to eat a good breakfast and get enough sleep! This

week we will conclude our investigation of the Legislative branch & begin the Executive branch. We will discuss the qualifications for becoming President, the many roles & duties of the President  as well as the Executive branch departments. We will also look closely at how exactly the President is elected; through a complicated system called the Electoral College. We will also investigate the role that checks & balances through Presidential vetoes and judicial appointments.
