Answer to Question 1

An ideal response will:
1. Explain that, historically, presidents have higher approval ratings at the beginning of their terms than at the end of their terms in office.
2. Clinton's approval ratings increased with the tech-driven boom. George W. Bush's approval soared after the 9/11 terrorist attacks (rally effect/rally-round-the flag effect), but fell when economic growth slowed and with his reaction to Hurricane Katrina.

Answer to Question 2

An ideal response will:
1. Define the president's constitutional role as diplomat in chief. The president negotiates treaties, executive agreements, and congressional-executive agreements with foreign nations.
2. Describe the role of commander in chief. While only Congress can declare war, the president can order troops into battle without formal war declarations.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
