Today you will review those powers and then finish looking at and understanding the President's expressed powers.

You will first need to make a copy of this padlet to begin. For each column you will read the Constitution clause and then research online to find either a tweet or news article to provide as an example of that power. You will link to the tweet or article and write a brief explanation of the power and how the President is exercising it. 

Commander-in-Chief is done for you as an example. Once you are done you will click on the share button and copy the url to post into the Canvas assignment. This assignment is to be completed individually.]]> 2023-02-20 18:39:01 UTC https://padlet.com/8716201/octlgn38kk5rez8e/wish/2488786393 8716201 https://padlet.com/8716201/octlgn38kk5rez8e/wish/2488786394 He shall have Power, by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, to make Treaties, provided two thirds of the Senators present concur; and he shall nominate, and by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, shall appoint Ambassadors]]> 2023-02-20 18:39:01 UTC https://padlet.com/8716201/octlgn38kk5rez8e/wish/2488786394 8716201 https://padlet.com/8716201/octlgn38kk5rez8e/wish/2488786395 Every Bill which shall have passed the House of Representatives and the Senate, shall, before it become a Law, be presented to the President of the United States; If he approve he shall sign it, but if not he shall return it, with his Objections to that House in which it shall have originated...]]> 2023-02-20 18:39:01 UTC https://padlet.com/8716201/octlgn38kk5rez8e/wish/2488786395 8716201 https://padlet.com/8716201/octlgn38kk5rez8e/wish/2488786396 and he shall nominate, and by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, shall appoint...Judges of the supreme Court...]]> 2023-02-20 18:39:01 UTC https://padlet.com/8716201/octlgn38kk5rez8e/wish/2488786396 8716201 https://padlet.com/8716201/octlgn38kk5rez8e/wish/2488786397 He shall from time to time give to the Congress Information of the State of the Union, and recommend to their Consideration such Measures as he shall judge necessary and expedient;]]> 2023-02-20 18:39:01 UTC https://padlet.com/8716201/octlgn38kk5rez8e/wish/2488786397 8716201 https://padlet.com/8716201/octlgn38kk5rez8e/wish/2488787879 If the Senate approves it Biden can sign treaties and have alliances with other countries.
