Learning Target 8.6
Assess the president's role as policy maker.
The public has looked to the president to propose legislation to Congress. Through this, advancing budgets, involvement in the regulatory process, and executive orders and agreements, presidents make policy. Executive order is rules or regulations issued by the president that has the effect of law. Another role the president is in charge of is the Office of Management and Budget. This is when the office prepares the presidents annual budget proposal, reviews the budget and programs of the executive departments, supplies economic forecasts, and conducts detailed analyses of proposed bills and agency rules.

Learning Target 8.3
Evaluate the development and expansion of presidential power
Each President has made their own contribution to expand presidential powers. For example, George Washington took part in national affairs and as chief executive of a strong national government. The New Deal, created by Franklin D. Roosevelt was a "Relief, Recovery, Reform" program to bring the United States out of the Great Depression. Another great example is from our first president, George Washington. HE began the practice of regular meetings with his advisers(the cabinet system). Check out this website on the Cabinet System.
But, we cannot leave out the women, of course!
Martha Washington, the first lady, assisted George as informal advisers while making other, more public, and significant contributions to the American society. Edith Wilson, Woodrow Wilson's wife, became Woodrow's surrogate and decided whom and what the stricken president saw. She was "Acting First Man."
Us ladies should really check out this!
