Please write an essay which answers the question of whether it is better for the Congress
or the President to have the greater influence in making Domestic and Foreign policy?
That is, which of the two elected branches of government do you believe should take the
lead when it comes to making important decisions? As part of your analysis please be sure
to consider the following topics: 1) Compare and contrast the constitutional and legal
authority of the two branches to govern the country. 2) Discuss the legislative process in
detail while analyzing the roles of the Congress and the Presidency. 3) Why might one
branch do a better job than the other? In support of your ideas, at least three pieces of
supporting data need to be presented which must include two types of evidence such as:
1) Legal statements found in the Constitution and/or Federal Law, and 2) Social Scientific
Evidence such as Census data, public opinion surveys, voting patterns, etc. By the way,
the preceding information can all be found in the text and the online data bases/resources
provided to the class. Next, as part of your analysis, make sure to evaluate the advantages
and disadvantages of Congressional versus Presidential approaches to leadership. Lastly,
which of the two branches of government has the advantage in general?
or the President to have the greater influence in making Domestic and Foreign policy?
