About The Presidency and the Executive Branch
GoConqr OriginalWhat the resources cover
The unit centres on the US presidency. The mind map Presidential Power sets out powers such as signing or vetoing legislation and commanding the armed forces. The mind map Presidency looks at enumerated powers and Supreme Court nominations, including Kavanaugh, Garland and Bork. Other maps ask how effective a president can be and how presidential persuasion works.
Flashcards cover the finer vocabulary. Chapter 12: The Presidency includes the 22nd and 25th Amendments, impeachment, Watergate, executive orders, the cabinet, the National Security Council and the Office Of Management And Budget. Executive Branch (The President) adds executive privilege, signing statements, impounding funds and the War Powers Resolution.
Beyond the White House
Several resources widen the view. You will find maps and decks on bureaucracy, including Chapter 15 AP Government - Bueacracy, and on the Executive Office of the President. There are also UK-focused items on the prime minister and cabinet, such as Roles of the Prime Minister and Power of the PM, useful if you want to compare systems.
Where to start
- Read a mind map such as Presidential Power to get the overall picture.
- Work through a flashcard deck to fix the key terms.
- Take a quiz, such as Roles of President or Executive Branch Review, to see what stuck.
- Go back to the maps for anything you missed.
Using quizzes and maps together
Maps show how ideas connect, while quizzes show what you can recall. The first quiz on the page covers the president's constitutional roles, such as chief executive and commander in chief, and asks about war declarations and theories of the presidency. Use it after a map, note your weak spots, then revisit those branches.
Resources mention A-level Politics and AP US Government, so school students can find material close to their course. University students will find course-based sets too, such as the POLI 348 Week 3 concepts deck.
Where this fits
This unit sits in the US Government and Politics strand of Political science. When you are ready, open a quiz, then make a mind map or deck of your own.
Frequently asked questions
Which resource should I open first?
Start with the mind map Presidential Power for a quick overview of what the president can and cannot do. Then try the Chapter 12: The Presidency flashcards for key terms, and finish with a quiz such as Roles of President to test what you remember.
What do the mind maps cover?
They cover presidential power, the constitutional basis of the office, how the presidency has evolved and the Executive Office of the President. Others look at persuasion, the cabinet and bureaucracies. Some also compare the UK prime minister and cabinet, so you can see how executives differ.
Are the resources free to use?
Yes. Every resource listed here is free to open, study and take, with no account needed. They were made by GoConqr users rather than by GoConqr itself. A free account lets you save quiz scores and make your own quizzes, mind maps, flashcards and notes.
Which exams or levels do these suit?
Most of the material suits school students, with some aimed at university courses. The listed resources mention A-level Politics, AP US Government and AP Government, so those students will find familiar topics. Teachers can use the quizzes and slide sets as ready-made material.
Is there anything on the UK executive?
Yes. Alongside the US material you will find resources on the prime minister and cabinet, including Roles of the Prime Minister, Power of the PM and a map asking whether British PMs are as powerful as is sometimes claimed. There is also a flashcard deck called Executive (UK).
What if I can't find the topic I need?
Try a nearby resource first, such as the bureaucracy decks or the executive orders notes, as they often cover related ground. If a gap remains, build your own mind map, flashcard deck or note on the topic and use it for revision.
