POL 1101: American Government Spring 2020 Third Paper Turnitin About three (3) pages (double-spaced, 12-pt Times New Roman) Presidential power gets a lot of attention from the public, media and academics alike. The 20th Century saw a substantial rise not only in the size/importance/power of the federal government, but also in the Presidency itself versus the other two branches of government (especially Congress). This has occurred through a variety of avenues, including executive orders. Assignment: Find two executive orders issued since the 1940s (other than the following major ones we addressed in class: Japanese internment, desegregation of the military, enhanced interrogation at Guantanamo Bay).

For both Executive Orders: 1.Identify what the Executive Order did 2.Describe why the President appeared to use an Executive Order 3.Mention if there any bad reaction from Congress and/or the Courts 4.Do you think it is appropriate for the President to have done what they did?
