Analyzing Presidential Action of Bush and Obama

Assignment Overview & Purpose:

You are going to be watching two 50 min. videos length, and writing a reflection that analyzes presidential action of Bush and Obama in order to assess the development of executive authority, and analyze constitutionality. I have provided you with multiple objectives, relative to this topic. You will select 1, from those provided, below, to write your response.

The purpose of this assignment is twofold.  First, it provides you with resources that can be used for future independent research outside of the reading and writing methods–especially useful for those of you audio and visual learners.  Second, it gives you an inside look into two Presidential administrations that have been surrounded by bias and partisan media criticism and praise.  Now that you have a better understanding of executive authority it is time for you to apply what you have learned, as evidence, to analyze presidential power in relation to modern political debates of “constitutionality of action” from you own personal perspective.

Formatting Requirements and Submission Instructions

1. not considered common knowledge
