Can I use this executive branch worksheet for homeschool or classroom?
⌄
Yes, both. We made it for 7th grade Three Branches and Checks, and it works the same at home or at school. At home, a student can work through it alone and then go over it with you, which shows quickly what is solid and what needs another look. In class it works as independent practice, homework or a warm-up, and you can print one copy or a full set.
What are the qualifications for president?
⌄
The sheet says the president serves a 4-year term, must be at least 35 and a natural-born citizen, and have lived in the United States at least 14 years. The 22nd Amendment limits a person to being elected twice.
What are the five jobs of the president?
⌄
The sheet names chief executive, commander in chief, chief diplomat, head of state and legislative leader. Students match actions to each job and name limits on the office.
What do cabinet departments do?
⌄
Each of the 15 executive departments has a main job, such as Agriculture supporting farming or State handling foreign relations. Students match real situations to the department that would handle them.
