An executive is not just a leader of a company; you can also use the term to describe the president of the United States. The ninth part of a 20-part unit teaches high schoolers about the importance of the executive branch and the clauses in the US Constitution that created its powers. Scholars analyze each clause in-depth to grasp everything from the presidential election itself to the standards for impeachment.
