Presidential Power: Crash Course Government and Politics #11
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 19 июн 2024
- This week Craig looks at the expressed powers of the President of the United States - that is the ones you can find in the Constitution. From appointing judges and granting pardons, to vetoing laws and acting as the nation’s chief diplomat on foreign policy, the Commander in Chief is a pretty powerful person, but actually not as powerful as you might think. The Constitution also limits presidential powers to maintain balance among the three branches of government. Next week we'll talk about the President's powers NOT mentioned in the Constitution - implied powers.

we need a Crash Course Law
***** Oh my god yes. Although it would probably have to be a rather long running series :S
payz hayz but every country has a its own laws. it would be a very long series to cover all the nations in the world.
payz hayz This is FOR the US.
gtaclevelandcity why? crash course has viewers all aound the globe.
Felipe Cyrineu But they are made for the american audience.
I don't think people need to be like "The president needs to lower taxes! The president needs to do something about gas prices! The president needs to do X, Y, and Z!" The president can't do any of that, not directly anyways, unless you count signing bills into law, but taking action on most of those things is congress's job. When people expect these kinds of things from the president, they're encouraging him/her to act in a way the constitution never intended. We should be complaining to our congressional representatives about those kinds of concerns
whos here for online classes currently?
Julian Ackerman meeeeeeee
Meeee

yes you got any answers ?!😂😂

Have I mentioned how much I love it when he punches the eagle?
I think that a president should lead a cavalry charge at least once per office term.
Can we trust a leader that does not do that?
I don't know? I can't really imagin Obama in the commander seat of a tank telling the driver to bring him closer so he can hit the enemy with a sword.
Well, he should at least go to space. I know I would.
I just had the mental image of Clinton on a horse running at a bunch of Russians in tanks.
***** but with out war there would be no epic Cavalry charges, and that my friend is a world I don't want to live in.
TapOnX Only 3rd world countries(eruopoors) use horses in battles.
Wild that we've been through 2 presidents since this
I'm taking political science 101 with an intense teacher & this video helped me understand the foreign language of politics. Thank you!!!
Crash Course Philosophy would be cool
Salomon Flamenco Yes. Yeesss! Only Crash Course Mathematics would be better.
Josh Bobst no... philosophy please
Stop saying that on EVERY crash course vid just STOP
Josh Bobst I second this. Especially if it's something like linear algebra.
Liam Gurney no
If I recall correctly, during the Burning of Washington in the War of 1812, President James Madison and his way out of DC commandeered an artillery unit and ordered them to cover the retreat from DC. He personally took this command and came under enemy fire in the process making him, very briefly, the only sitting president to lead troops into combat and do it while taking enemy fire.
There was also Lincoln at Fort Stevens but its unknown if he actually gave any orders. Him just shouting, "Return fire" would have been enough to make him the second but it's unknown if he did.
I’m in college but I’m a sports management major so I really have nothing to do with government. I just find it interesting I thought learning about government was super boring in high school but now I just find it fascinating!
I'm voting for Gumby in 2016. He's nice, done things for the farmers, can travel into books, and he's made out of clay! Who can ask for more?
Moonbeam yas. Just yas.
Thanks for the video. This was surprisingly non-partisan and very educational. I appreciate it.
For everyone asking about Ted Cruz: The constitution states that a candidate must be: 35 years or older, resident of the U.S for at least 14 years, and a 'natural born citizen'-- this last bit is where things get tricky. The term 'natural born citizen' is ambiguous, but the widely accepted legal interpretation of the phrase states that as long as your parents are U.S citizens at the time of your birth, then you are 'natural born'. Under this interpretation, Cruz fits all criteria.
blownspeakersss Um no, the widely accepted legal interpretation of the phrase is that they are born inside of the US. Nice try.
gtaclevelandcity Wrong. That is the most popular interpretation by the American public, but the American public are not legal interpreters. The widespread LEGAL interpretation is as I described."One may also be a 'natural born Citizen' if, despite a birth on foreign soil, U.S. citizenship immediately passes from the person's parents." - from law.cornell.edu
blownspeakersss Either way, Ted Cruz is still a douche with all his blatantly fake patriotism.
gtaclevelandcity Nope, Blownspeakersss is right - You are accepted as a U.S citizen for running for president if one of your parents were U.S citizens when you were born.
So even if it is widely accepted, that interpretation of yours is wrong.
Nice try.
blownspeakersss Cruz said Obama wasn't a natural born citizen (I guess he didn't know Hawaii was part of the USA) and that it didn't matter where his mother was born. Then March 23rd he said he was a natural born citizen even though he was born outside the USA because his mother was born within the USA. Double standards!
You make the only kind of educational video that I like.
whats a guy gotta do around here to get a Crash Course: Investing and Finance? :D
+justizz14 That would be AMAZING. Crash course finance, banking, and investments. These crash courses are crash courses in the truest sense of the word - I learn a lot in a short period of time. The visuals help things stick as well. There's a crash course on economics, but that's about as close as it gets.
agreed! I loved the CC economics series. But a separate series covering things like security analysis, price vs value, investment vs speculation and the different market indices would be amazing!
I actually love that these episodes start from the Constitutional law and spin outward, because that's how the whole system (is supposed to) work(s) :)
The "born in the US or one of its territories" thing is kinda a grey area since there is no definition for "natural born citizen" given and may simply mean "a citizen at birth." We had a candidate this election cycle who was born in Canada, but to American parents, and he was able to run just fine.
I love the clones, it explains the left and right perfectly
I had some questions about the Electoral College, and I thought, "I bet Crash Course has an episode on it," but not yet apparently. I would love on episode on the Electoral College if it is not already in the works.
Any chance of doing additional Government and Politics series for other countries once this one's done?
Who is here for the AP Gov test??
+Kylie Ren who isnt
+Recategorize IMMA FAILLLLL
sameeeee
AP Gov quarterly tomorrow! I was gonna study when I got home, instead, I procrastinated. I was gonna study after dinner, passed out for two hours. Now it's 11:36pm, I'm so screwed but, it's whatever.
College final exam for gov
Craig is awesome!!
My favorite crash course character 👌
Madison also 'led' the troops, at the battle of Bladensburg. Though true he didn't do much in his role and the proper military commanders still directed it.
James Madison also fought in a battle as president. He was with a small unit of soldiers who fired canons back on the British while they burned Washington.
This is fantastic, thank you
great video
James Madison led troops during his presidency. The burning of Washington by the British took place during the War of 1812 and Madison actually was present for some of the fighting.
Creative, informative and interesting. Thanks a lot for your effort. Very helpful.
I know it's a year late, but James Madison also led his troops into battle against the British in the war of 1812 while serving as president.
Great educational video, Crash Course and Thought Cafe.
George wasington lead us in the feild during his presidentsy. That’s just awesome.
That was a really good square space add before this video.
"Some people say the electoral college is not particularly democratic, mostly because it is not particularly democratic." I love those quick little quips lol
WAit a minute!! Craig is part of crash course?!
Good video
Can you talk about the theories of presidential powers that have been developed?
SquareSpace is taking over CrashCourse
Chris Hemsworth is Australian, Thor is Fennoscandian, and so far as I know, the Asgard that Chris Hemsworth's Thor is from is not in Oklahoma (yet).
My point is: that joke in the beginning was really lame.
President Madison also rallied and directed the troops during the evacuation of Washington, DC and our subsequent counterattack during the War of 1812.
Tech has evolved, but the Constitution is still just as relevant as it always was, ensuring a framework that keeps us a free society
Hey, my name is Carolin and I'm from Germany. I'm currently watching your videos for my oral exam in politics tomorrow (in english) and I really want to thank you for making these!
I'd like to make a suggestion though:
I'd love to see videos about how the EU works (with all the institutions and stuff) because it would have helped me and it might help out other viewers. :)
Can someone explain the Electoral College (or direct me to the video if I've missed it) in a way that informs non-voters that use the excuse "my vote does not matter because it's just an Electoral College". Or are those people right?
Pika-chu!
(Thank you, you educate us Pokémon)
Is there a transcript of this or the other videos somewhere?
me after I drink coffee:
"I feel my powers expanding..."
this is helping me study for the EOC
Few USA-Americans (seem to?) appreciate the extent to which the executive Presidential system reflected the existing British monarchical system. The Westminster system came after. It appears to me that the executive presidency was mostly a means of replacing the King. So it was not a political revolution.
Wish these would be made for the uk government and politics
Scalia was not a strict constructionist. He said this about it: "a degraded form of textualism". He is a textualist.
I think you got the electoral college thing wrong. In 2016 the electoral college elected a scary demagogue in opposition to the popular vote.
+CrashCourse what are the limits for an executive order ? , in another words what would make an exucitive order uncostitutional for example what would stop a president from solidifying his power by executive orders ?
How often are these videos released?
Yay!! New episode! :D
Washington never actually lead the troops into battle at the Whiskey Rebellion, he turned around in some small town in Pensylvania
My Favorite CrashCourse Prof to date :p
I wish there was a Crash Course Gov for all countries in the world.
Ahhh! Take the tag off the bottom of that mug!!!
I really wonder if there was always as much unbalance in voter turnout for presidential vs off year elections in the past, or if that has grown more pronounced throughout the country's history. It seems really unbalanced now, and it bothers me people think that's the only election that really matters.
We need a Crash Course Drivers E.D. course, its the only thing that makes sense anymore.
0:22 Can someone explain why there are sheep on the White House lawn?
Alevuss92 I think that they were pets
Wouldn't be the strangest pets. John Quincy Adams had an alligator.
This happened before Scalia died. I think it's interesting how much stuff one guys death brought along in this election year. I'm sure Scalia's death probably inconvenienced him more than it did America. I probably misspelled his name. Sorry if I did.
There’s also James Madison who personally led his troops to liberate DC during the War of 1812.
Craig should run for president in the Wheezywaiter Eagle Hater party.
We need Crash Course: Global Politics
04:45 to the right and left of the room are interesting symbols, I doubt Mussolini had ever been president of the US...
It's nice to know that you guys let the clones out of the clone zone from time to time.
It just occurred to me that Craig probably filmed all of these at once. :p
Being born in the US or one of it's territories does not make you necessarily a Natural Born Citizen which is the actual requirement not just being born in the US. Natural Born Citizen means a person who is born of Citizen parents. Specifically the citizenship flowing from the citizenship status of the father.
Loved this, so much.
Please tell me your opinion. With Trump saying he wants the wall for National Security, and as he has now shut down the American government, can't he use presidential powers, to build the wall WITHOUT Congress approval?
I believe so, and this government shut down has much more far reaching reasons and consequences, how about you?
I would like to see an episode about the powers the first lady has and her role in national affairs
Fantastic Four... Hulk? Tilt!
I think we need a crash course Canada! With all the talking and jokes you make it would be cool to see it.
Do y'all know George Washington appointed John Quincy Adams to ambassador to Russia when he was 14. Then France when e was 15. Many others, too.
I demand a return of the adorable puppy!
Didn't James Madison also lead troops during the war of 1812?
first yes we need a crash course law
second that eagle should from a union or rise agaist
oh my goodness the video now glows
Order!
who has the answers for he worksheets?
you litterally got me through high school
35 years old... *or older*
Artbug Nope you have to be exactly 35, any older and you will be disqualified, it's in the Constitution.
fhqwgads420 That would make things interesting. And If your 35 year falls on a non-election year, sucks to be you.
fhqwgads420 No there have been presidents over 35.
LsuMichgan Fan It was a joke...
Trump be 73
Who's here for the online test?
Wonder how would this section go if it were filmed today, with Trump as president... For my upcoming exam I have to consider him >.
i honestly get very happy when he hits the bird every episode.. awk
"Natural-born citizen"
Someone should tell that to Ted Cruz
Cruz's mother was a United States citizen at the time of his birth, thus making Ted Cruz a natural-born citizen even though he wasn't born inside of the US.
+CoolPeaches No. natural born citizen mean born in the United States.
According to the naturalization act of 1790, children born abroad to an american parent are considered natural-born citizens. It was then repealed by the naturalization act of 1795, which stated much of the same as the first bill, with the exclusion of the term "natural-born citizen". The term has never appeared in any statute since.
I can understand why there might be confusion - the term is still rather murky. But as far as I understand it, he was born to a US citizen, and thus was a natural-born US citizen himself.
Rodney Jones Ted Cruz is a natural born citizen. If your parents are American citizens you are a natural born citizen. So much to tell Rodney Jones what a natural born citizen is lol like that’s not an opinion dude
this guy some BUNS!
You forgot the 2nd president to command a standing army in battle while a sitting president: James Madison During the war of 1812 (Raid on Washington)
Larry Bolan Calling it a standing army would be a stretch, it was an artillery battery of two guns
Jacob eMatt and from those humble beginning, look what's come ...
It's all about the precedent, my friend. First a crack, then a breach, then a complete failure.
: [ > -
According to the wiki, the US (STANDING) ARMY of that time started out the War of 1812 with ~7,000 soldiers, which increased, to ~35,800 plus 3,049 rangers, by the war's end. That's a significant increase imo. And although the states' militias had them well out-numbered by more than 15 to 1 (@ ~617k), such superiority would not last.
“A standing army is one of the greatest mischiefs that can possibly happen” - James Madison
: [ > -
AHerderOfCats how is this even remotely relevant
Jacob eMatt I'll try to explain:
You and zh11147 implied Larry's claim was exaggerated. I countered by demonstrating the ridiculous nature of those attempts to minimize the force in question, which was certainly an army by any reasonable standard. But more important imo was the fact that this so-called "escort service" was the beginning of a standing army, a thing contrary to the founding principles of the United States. I then attempted to expand on that point. Hope this explains the relevance of my post.
As George Mason warned, "Should the national government wish to render the militia useless, they may neglect them, and let them perish, in order to have a pretence of establishing a standing army." Imo this is exactly what has happened over time, compromising the security of this relatively "free State".
"A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State ..." - 2nd Amendment (edit), US Con.

Blue field to the top left. Please.
I wish they went into the informal powers
Chris Hemsworth is Australian God Damnn it!!!
Craig has the newest apple product...The Imug, how much did that cost?
$3000?
At 4:51 there are two symbols either side of the podium. These bear an alarming resemblance to the crest used by Italian fascists in the 30s. Was this an error, making a point, or a device to determine if your audience was awake?
RIP Antonin Scalia
William Henry Harrison looks like aph England with less eyebrows.
Why are you not John Green?
Eagle Punch!
Is there a reason why he keeps on punching the eagle
2:27 who is that?
I am currently constipated.
