Do you believe that a president should have the power of executive orders? Why, or why not?

The President of the United States has the power and authority to issue executive orders to federal officials and agencies for public policy purposes. In most instances, executive orders become official once signed and endorsed by the president. As an example, President Clinton issued Executive Order #12938 Proliferation of Weapons of Mass Destruction. In June of 2005, President George W. Bush issued Executive Order #13382, Blocking Property of Weapons of Mass Destruction Proliferators and Their Supporters. Why do you believe it is important for the President of the United States to be able to issue executive orders in an expedited format regarding weapons of mass destruction? Do you believe that a president should have the power of executive orders? Why, or why not?

How might being more historically informed impact how you understand that issue or how you take action?

Throughout the course, you have examined how historical events impact current events. Historians are often motivated to partly study the past because that knowledge can help us frame, compare, and understand modern problems. However, what responsibilities does an ordinary citizen have to know a particular history (such as different historical perspectives, different historical times, and different geographical regions) or to have the skills to study history effectively?

Discussing challenges that face our world often means investigating opinions and ideas different from your own. Remember to remain thoughtful and respectful towards your peers and instructor in your discussion post and replies.

Create one initial post and follow up with at least two response posts.

For your initial post, address the following:

1. Discuss what responsibilities, if any, citizens should have related to being historically informed. For example, what historical inquiry skills might be important for a citizenry to have to address current global challenges?

2. Think about a challenge, opportunity, event, or issue that affects your community. How might being more historically informed impact how you understand that issue or how you take action?
