Which of the following situations illustrates why fixed terms of office could be a disadvantage in an electoral system?
 
  a. In a two-party system, fixed terms discourage the development of an independent party.
  b. A president in whom the country has lost confidence cannot be removed unless there are grounds for impeachment.
  c. A president at odds with Congress cannot hope to impeach all of the opposing party's representatives.
  d. A popular president would have a harder time being reelected.

Question 2

What is the relationship between the democratization of the presidency and the use of mandates in governing?
 
  a. Since public approval has become much more important to modern presidents, most presidents rely on the mandate and the polls to measure their popularity and increase their approval ratings.
  b. The presidential mandate claimed by modern presidents makes it easier for them to get their choices of Supreme Court justices approved than in the past.
  c. Because Congress sees the president as holding a mandate of the people, the legislators do not block the president's agenda as vehemently as legislators in the past did.
  d. Because modern presidents are more dependent on the people for election and more involved in policymaking than early presidents, they are prone to claim the mandate of the people when governing.
