  4. Senate • The senate has to have 2/3 vote to approve presidential treaties. Also needs over ½ votes to approve presidential appointments.

  5. Executive Branch • The executive branches job is to carry out laws. The requirements to be in this branch are: • 1. 35 years old • 2. Natural Born • 3. 14 year resident of U.S.

  6. Electoral College • This is the way the president gets elected. Each state has a certain amount of electoral votes. Each state must agree with one candidate, giving that person the votes. First to 270 is president.

  7. Presidential Powers • Commander in chief is the most well known of the powers. This gives the president the final say so in all military decisions. This however is null and void if congress doesn’t fund the action.

  8. More Presidential Powers • Judicial powers such as 1. Pardon 2. Amnesty 3. Reprieves 4. Commutation All of which involve forgiving or delaying punishment and crimes.

  9. Ex Post Facto Laws This is, in my opinion, is a stupid law. This states that you can be punished for a crime even when it wasn’t a law yet. That is not fair at all. How can he break a new law in the past.
