Dear Students,

I am home today with my sick kid and am sorry I won't be with you in class today.
Please complete the "Formal.Informal Checks to Power" activity in Module 8 in CANVAS.
You will need to submit this for a grade by the end of the period.
The first part talks about the FORMAL checks to the President's power (we talked about these yesterday) and the second part talks about the INFORMAL ways the President's power is checked.  Read through these sections and then complete the scenarios as you record the informal and formal checks to power in the chart attached.  Feel free to write it in the packet I gave you and take a screenshot and upload to Canvas.  Either way-READ the informal/formal powers on CANVAS.
Thank you and have a wonderful weekend.

Ms.D
