Module 6

WEEK SIX

 

DUE: Sidlow, Chapter 12 The Presidency

This week, we turn to a discussion of the US Presidency. The president is “head of the government” and “head of state.” He is also “commander in chief” of the military. For Module 6, please define these three terms in a blog post and give examples of presidential actions that fit each role. 

 

Then, find three articles from the current events media in which someone is either reporting on or commenting on presidential actions that fit each of the three types of roles. The articles can be about either our current or previous president (i.e. either President Trump or President Obama). Post links to these three articles to your blog, along with a 1-paragraph discussion of each.
