Yesterday in class, on September 17, 2012, we talked about the issues of teh Executive Branch. In history there were many differnet ideas about who we shoul have for a president, how long they were president, what they could do, etc. Ideas like teh Virginia Plan thought that we should have more than one president that should be in power for more than one year adn were ineligible to run again. That plan would give the president the power to create laws. It was interesting to see how the creators of the government had completely different ideas of how our country should be lead. With only one president it made you consider what it would be like with more than one.
Today, on September 18, 2012, we talked about how the whole government works together. Each branch checks itself with another. For example, the Legislative Branch can come up wiht a Bill that the Executive Branch has to approve. The law then needs to be passed by the Judicial Branch and put into action. Everything goes through the government sometimes multiple times to make sure it is what they all want.
