Day 2

CONSTITUTIONAL CONCEPTS TIMELINE QUIZ POSTPONED UNTIL FRIDAY

Today, we will watch and analyze the State of the Union address.

As you watch pay attention to STYLE (issues Obama addresses, his message to Congress, his plan for the last year of his Presidency)
Also pay attention to STYLE (what is his tone?  hopeful, positive, nostalgic, angry, defensive, sarcastic, authentic)

Comment on SUBSTANCE vs. STYLE by:  ASKING a question of something he said, RESPONDING to a classmate, CHECKING a fact.

Article II in the Constitution

Section 3.
He shall from time to time give to the Congress information of the state of the union, and recommend to their consideration such measures as he shall judge necessary and expedient; he may, on extraordinary occasions, convene both Houses, or either of them, and in case of disagreement between them, with respect to the time of adjournment, he may adjourn them to such time as he shall think proper; he shall receive ambassadors and other public ministers; he shall take care that the laws be faithfully executed, and shall commission all the officers of the United States.
