From the Founding to the Present: Students will become knowledgeable about the evolving powers of the presidency, focus on several of the most important presidents and the difficult decisions they faced, and come to appreciate the Washington power community in which presidents govern today.
Woven into each day’s activities is a focus on presidential decision making, which builds to a “Situation Room” simulation on the final day of the seminar.
