1 Chapter Planner and Suggested Pacing Guide UNDERSTANDING BY DESIGN Enduring Understanding The president, as the head of the executive branch, executes laws, commands the armed forces, and engages with foreign leaders. The president s veto and appointment powers serve as a check on the other branches. The president has seven main roles: head of state, chief executive, commander in chief, chief diplomat, legislative leader, economic planner, and party leader. Essential Questions What are the powers and roles of the president and how have they changed over time? Students will know: the roles of the president and how they have changed over time. how presidential power has grown in relationship to the U.S. Congress. that the Founders created a strong executive to carry out the acts of Congress and to hold the legislature in check. key presidential powers include the power to execute laws, veto legislation, command the military, and engage with foreign leaders. that inherent powers are powers claimed by the president that are not clearly expressed in the Constitution. that executive privilege is the power of the president to withhold from Congress or the courts information about communications between himself and his advisers. that the president fulfills several roles, among them head of state, chief executive, commander in chief, chief diplomat, legislative leader, economic planner, and party leader. how the president fulfills the role of head of state. how the president fulfills the role of chief executive. that among the president s executive powers are the power to appoint top officials to his administration and to appoint federal and Supreme Court judges. that executive orders are presidential directives that have the force of law without being approved by Congress. the difference between a reprieve and a pardon. how the president fulfills the role of commander in chief. that the president often claims increased powers to protect the nation in times of war. how the president fulfills the role of chief diplomat. that the president has the sole power to negotiate and sign treaties and that two-thirds of the Senate must approve all treaties before they can go into effect. that presidents may agree to pacts with leaders of other countries called require the approval of Congress. that the president plays a significant role in influencing legislation in Congress. that the president has the power to veto any bill that Congress sends to him for approval. how the president fulfills the role of chief economic planner. that the president creates an annual budget and submits it to Congress. how the president fulfills the role of political party leader. Students will be able to: executive agreements and these do not identify the powers of the president. explain how the powers of the president have grown over time. describe the checks on the powers of the president. analyze the importance of the president s ceremonial roles. determine the source of the president s executive power. compare and contrast the powers of the president with those of a prime minister. analyze how the presidential power to make war has changed over time. describe the powers of the president as chief diplomat. explain the advantages the president has over Congress in making foreign and defense policy. outline the tools or powers a president can use to advance his or her legislative agenda. identify the powers the president has as chief economic planner. explain the role of the president as party leader. Predictable Misunderstandings Students may think: Printed by: Richard Logan Page 1 of 15 Printed on 02/25/ :36 AM

2 the president has complete control of the military. Instead, the president shares control of the armed services with Congress, which has the power to declare war and fund the military. the president derives his powers from the Constitution. In truth, the Constitution is relatively vague on the topic of executive power when compared to the powers given to Congress. Instead, the president s powers are granted by Congress, which can vote to stop or pass such items as presidential bills, declarations of war and emergency powers, and even the president s appointees and nominations to federal positions. the president is required to run a transparent administration. However, executive privilege is a right claimed by presidents since George Washington. This gives the president and his advisers the right to withhold from Congress, and the public, information discussed between the president and his advisers. While executive privilege is not a right given by the Constitution, it has been upheld by the Supreme Court.
