One of the many responsibilities of the President involves issuing "executive orders."

How is an executive order different than a law? What gives the President the power to issue such orders? What sorts of things can be done by executive order?

 

Go to the President's website: http://www.whitehouse.gov/ (Links to an external site.)

 

Under "Briefing Room," find an executive order issued in February, called "Presidential Executive Order on Restoring the Rule of Law, Federalism, and Economic Growth by Reviewing the ‘Waters of the United States’ Rule."

Write an essay (2-3 pages) on this executive order, making sure you cover the following topics:

• What is an executive order?
• How is an executive order different from a law?
• By what authority can the President issue this order? (Don't just copy the "...by the authority vested the Constitution..." blurb. Explain.)
• Explain the issue President Trump is attempting to address with this executive order, and what you think about it.
• Do you agree or disagree with the order?

Submit in Word.

Cite your sources.
