The U.S. Presidency
by Muriel L. Dubois

Review by Emily

The book The U.S. Presidency by Muriel L. Dubois teaches us a bit about who the president is and what he does.  It teaches us the basics about the three branches of government, especially the executive branch, which the president runs.  

We learn about what the president does in the White House, where he lives and works.  American citizens can vote for a president every four years, but a president can be re-elected to serve an additional four years, for a total of eight years.

The president has the power to elect public officials such as judges and members of his cabinet.  The president's cabinet is a group of people who give the president advice.

I think that this book was good but since it did notgive me any new knowledge, I would recommend it to anyone in grades 1-4 who enjoy learning about their president.

  3. Emily, I'm sorry that you didn't learn anything new from this book, I guess that happens a lot when you're so smart! Did you know that there was one president who actually was elected to four terms? Do you know which one? Library lotto card if you can tell me who it is and where you found the information!
