Question: Presidents derive their power and authority from Article II of the U.S. Constitution which states “The executive Power shall be vested in a President of the United States of America.” A powerful executive permits quick and decisive action, which is important for responding to current events. On the other hand, if the president gets too powerful, Congress and the people may lack the ability to hold him or her accountable. Have U.S. presidents gained too much power and authority? Has the U.S. presidency grown too powerful over time or is more executive authority necessary in the modern era? Explain and defend your argument.

Directions: Write an essay response (complete with an introduction, body, and conclusion paragraphs) of 600 total words for this question. Provide several examples and an explanation derived from course content to support your answer. Your answers should be complete and comprehensive. What do these selected examples show us? You will be graded for the completeness and comprehensiveness of your response and use of examples. Students can exceed the 600 words minimum without grade deduction, however, students will receive a grade deduction for writing less than 600 total minimum words for their exam. The word count is the body of the text excluding a cover page (if you decide to include one), header, footnotes, and attached bibliography (if you decide to include one). Since footnotes contain all citation information, an attached bibliography is not necessary. Only the body of the essay counts towards the overall word count. The title page info, headers, footnotes and bibliography do not count towards the required word count.

Students often lose points for not explaining the importance of their selected examples. Students should not simply list a series of examples. Students should instead provide analysis and explanation upon their selected examples to illustrate their understanding of the significance and importance of that selected example. Why was that example chosen to support your exam response? How does your selected example support your argument? Be specific, clear, and concise.

Students will be evaluated on their understanding and comprehension of the course material as provided and presented by the instructor. Exams should demonstrate a mastery of course content as provided in the instructor lectures and supplemented by the course textbook.
