Answer to Question 1

Answer to Question 2

An ideal response will:
1, Explain that the Framers were concerned about giving the president too much power.
2, Describe the creation of shared power (and a system of checks and balances) to ensure that the president (or Congress) did not have too much power.
3, List the qualifications for becoming president. An individual becoming president must be at least thirty-five years old, born in the United States or born abroad as the child of American citizens, and a resident of the U.S. for at least fourteen years.
4, Describe the indirect election plan.
5, Mention the necessary and expedient clause (validates president as important legislator) and take care clause (allows for strong, independent action).
6, Include the idea that modern presidents have more power than what the Framers intended. For example, modern presidents are more involved in legislation than the Framers predicted.
