I wrote two blogs today..... yay

Today in Western Civilization we started a PowerPoint on the Bill of Rights. The first article of the document, which has ten sections, discusses the Legislative branch. First, we got the basic information, although I do want to note that I didn’t know that the Legislative branch has two Houses, Congress, and the House of Representatives (I thought they were one thing). It stated the powers of Congress, those powers being the ability to draft and pass laws, borrow money for the nation, declare war and raise military, and do checks and balances on the other two branches. Skipping to section four, this section covers the Executive branch. This states that the President and Vice President will be elected together, and will have a four-year term. It also states the Electoral College election method, and the qualifications to become president. These qualifications are that you have to be born in America, lived fourteen years in the U.S., and be the age thirty-five or above. This article also talks about presidential succession, where the Vice President will immediately be put in charge if the President is disabled from duty in any form.
