Question.3834 - Week 8-9 Discussion 8 (Chapter 12) Group #1 Presidential powers are quite broad. Discuss the powers that the president can exercise through both constitutional (formal, inherent and delegated) and extraconstitutional (beyond the formal powers given in the Constitution) authority. How have presidents gained so much power beyond that which is specifically granted in the U.S. Constitution (note: this is not a opinion based question please provide specific examples from course material)? Group #2 The presidency of the United States has been called the most powerful office in the world, yet it is not without its limitations. Discuss the factors that constrain the actions and limit the capability of the person who occupies the Oval Office. Group #3 What are the various leadership powers and political skills that can have an effect on presidential performance? How does a president’s popularity come into play (make sure to review and use lecture material). ALL GROUPS/STUDENTS For this chapter you are required to watch the Frontline documentary Cheney’s Law, read the contrasting view on presidential war powers presented in John Yoo’s article, and finally watch a debate by Intelligence 2 debate in the supplemental material link). Do not use AI to generate the summaries. Assignment: Using bullet points (making sure to provide enough information that we can understand your summary) provide a list of at least 2 arguments presented in EACH source that address the expansion of presidential power. That is a total 6 points. Finally, after carefully considering the expansion of presidential power, both domestic and foreign, discuss whether or not you feel presidential power has become too broad. Make sure that you utilize the material to support your assessment.
