1. Explain the constitutional duties of the House and Senate, and highlight the importance of the committee system in the legislative process. What role do you think seniority plays in what committees a member is placed on? Is this a good system? Why or why not?
2. The President's power has expanded considerably since the Constitution was written. Argue for or against the President's need for these powers, naming specific powers to support and defend your argument. Is the executive too strong, or too weak?
