1.  What is the organizational structure of Congress?  What are the leadership positions in both houses, and what are there functions?  First describe the positions, then google and find out  who currently holds these positions.  Choose either the US Representative for the district in which you live or go to college and do some research.  Discuss his/her background, education, characteristics of the district, committee he/she serves on, and the bills he/she has sponsored.  Your text is a little out of date, so I would google to get all of the current leaders.

Then do a search and find out which president had the most vetoes and what kind they were?  Who had the least?  Who had the most overridden by Congress?  President Trump had one veto overridden by Congress – what was that bill about?

After watching, write a one page, double spaced paper on if you believe the president should have this power or not – relate your reasoning back to the information that you learned from the videos, and you can certainly use other sources.
3.  The federal bureaucracy is organized into different types of agencies.  First, identify and describe cabinets, executive departments, independent regulatory commissions, and government corporations making sure to include an example of each.  Choose one specific cabinet department to research – discuss the purpose of that particular cabinet, its sub-agencies, the budget, the leadership and who holds the leadership position.
4.  Explain the basic structure and jurisdiction of the federal judicial system.  Describe the three different levels of federal courts.  How are the lower courts created and how is their jurisdiction defined?  Go to https://www.oyez.org/cases/2022 Links to an external site.and pick a recent case that has been decided by the Court.  Summarize the basic facts of the case, the decision of the court (the vote) and the opinions that were written.
