CHIEF DIPLOMAT
The role pictured here...
SCORE KEEPER FUNCTION
It’s one of the four functions
of the media that you see here:
EQUAL TIME RULE
In order to ensure that MSNBC
doesn’t simply run Elizabeth
Warren 2020 commercials, the
FCC imposed this rule.
IMPOUNDMENT
If this Presidential power to stop
funds being spent had a weight, it
would be sixteen ounces.
HOUSE/SENATE
It’s where Articles of Impeachment
are passed, and it’s where POTUS
would go on trial.
LEAKS
Friction between the Executive and
Legislative braches explains the sheer
volume OF no, not water, but of these
nonetheless…
35%
Six companies owning 90% of the
media is fine, but one company
owning more than this percentage
is not.
5
(The number of electoral
votes needed to win / maximum
number of years a President
can serve) – the number of the
Amendment that says so
equals…
DIVIDED GOVERNMENT
Democrat-controlled House,
Republican-controlled
Senate, Republican President-
some say you’re gonna have a
rough time-or are you?
SELECTIVE ATTENTION
Term for the fact that even though
the majority of Americans know of
the media’s primarily liberal bias,
they either like it, or can pick
another source from which to get
their news.
EXECUTIVE PRIVILEGE
Specific name of the power
limited by SCOTUS’ decision in
U.S. v Nixon.
100
The number of years a presidential
candidate must reside in the U.S.,
plus his minimum age, plus the
number of states that use the
winner-take-all system plus the
minimum number of electoral votes a
state has equals…
THE BULLY PULPIT
The term for this unique
Presidential power to get things
done, coined by the man you see
here doing it-like a BOSS!
LEGISLATIVE/C-SPAN
It is the only branch to have its
own channel-name the branch, name
the channel.
It must fall within one of POTUS’ enumerated
powers/Must result from a law passed by Congress
For an executive order to be
legal, it requires one of two
formal legalities-name
either one.DAILY DOUBLE
IMPEACHMENT ARTICLES, AMENDMENT
RESOLUTIONS
Two things the President cannot
veto…
EXECUTIVE AGREEMENTS
Congress, shmongress-
Presidential power expanded
when POTUS began making
these deals with the leaders
of foreign countries without
the advice and consent of
the Senate.
PRESS SECRETARY/HOOVER
Ironic name notwithstanding, Josh
Ernest’s job is to answer the
questions of the White House Press
Corps. Name the job-and the
President who created it.
NYT v U.S.
Our government knew it, the
North Vietnamese knew it, and
SCOTUS said that classified or
not, the American people had a
right to know it too.
(12+538)/25=22
(The number of congressmen in a state with
fourteen electoral votes + the total
number of electoral votes) / DIVIDED BY
THE NUMBER OF THE AMENDMENT WHICH
covers presidential disability equals…DAILY DOUBLE
(The number of presidents who have
been assassinated X the number of
presidents who have been impeached)
+ (the number that have resigned +
the number that have served non-
consecutive terms + the number that
have served on the Supreme Court
after their administration).

(The number of presidents who have
been assassinated X the number of
presidents who have been impeached)
+ (the number that have resigned +
the number that have served non-
consecutive terms).

RULE OF PROPINQUITY
It’s not the size of your office,
it’s also how close it is to the
President’s
TREASURY
Cabinet Department which
administers the agency you
see depicted here:
