    Congratulations to Lisa for publishing another IDM in the Georgia Historic Society Series for civic education.  This one, How Far Does the President’s Power Reach?, is also based on the theme “The United States Constitution: Ensuring Liberty and Justice for All”. 

    This IDM uses a Library of Congress political cartoon, "King Andrew the First", for Setting the Stage of the inquiry. It ends with an NPR article that proposes 3 alternative descriptions of presidential power.  This is a timely and timeless inquiry going back to the creation of the US Constitution and ending with a look at the President's power in contemporary USA.

    This IDM will be spotlighted in the C3 November newsletter! Barbara Kirby Sue Wise

    Ann, I don't see the IDM in the C3 Network. Would you post a link here when it is available? 

    Found them on the Georgia C2 Hub, scroll down to the Georgia Historical Society section! http://www.c3teachers.org/georgia-c3-hub/

    Thank you Ann, and John for your feedback and support for the monthly inquiries from GHS! Thank you for sharing the inquiry and looking forward to having a full set based on the US Constitution through the lens of Georgia History by February. 

    Here is the direct link to the new IDM, How Far Does the President's Power Reach? 

    The c3 inquiries are open for the public to access. Below are links to the section that have inquiries from Georgia and TPS.
