Balancing the Branches
Manage episode 476466586 series 2450758
We take a close look at the true role of the executive branch. From the limits outlined in the Constitution to the growing expectations placed on presidents, we explore how much power the Oval Office really holds versus how much the public thinks it should.
As budget cuts hit beloved national parks, we dive into the relationship between federal spending cuts and the public's desire to protect the environment. With record-breaking park attendance and widespread support for funding, are lawmakers listening?
Finally, in this week's fun fact, we discuss what happens when you are suddenly a pro... no training required. The real question is: are you more blackbelt or brushstroke?
