FDR the most destructive president to the republic. Held 3 terms, enacted executive orders, and thanks to him we have cooperative federalism, now added with high regulation. And I also blame Woodrow Wilson for implementing the federal reserve. Which unlike the name suggests is not part of the federal government. It's a private entity. And considering how important money is in our society, its highly concerning when the institution responsible for our money is not even a part of the government. I lean right but when I say that some things should be privatized, I don't mean the central bank for our country.

Dont mind me just taking notes on my phone
Negotiate executive agreements (dont need to be ratified w 2/3, only win a majority, power to direct ppl they appoint, legislative initiative (tells congress the laws he wants to see passed) cant force congress to pass things, executive orders circumvent the lawmaking process (desegregation of military, etc) next president can get rid of them easily tho, executive privilege (can keep info secret for reasons of national security, can b overturned by court order. Congress sometimes hands over more power bc wanna avoid blame, etc

My understanding is that executive agreements don't need majority approval from Congress. While Congressional-executive agreements do. In my understanding there are 3 types of international agreements: treaties which require 2/3 approval in the Senate to be ratified. Congressional-executive agreements which require both houses to pass by majority vote. And Executive agreements which completely bypass Congress.

I know you this video is extremely old, but I wish you guys had done one on the Vice President. Not many people (including me) are aware of the Vice President-s power in the congressional, legislative, and executive branches.

I love your videos. They-re very helpful. Is there any chance you could start putting subtitles/captions so that those of us with hearing issues can fully appreciate them?

The Fed Chair, The Richest Person, and Kanye West are all solid contenders for most powerful but the president wins. By a small margin

In light of the current administration, I'm wondering if the tone of your courses on presidential power might change if you updated them now?
