President

See Lesson Ideas for this topic

Remind your children that a president is the leader of a group, company, or government. The president of the United States is an elected leader who has many responsibilities, including creating policies, leading the armed forces, and meeting with world leaders to discuss issues. The president also plays an important role in the law-making process. The Constitution of the United States was established to create a new system of government and outlines the responsibilities of the judicial, legislative, and executive branches. Remind your children that the president is the head of the executive branch. We recommend watching the Local and State Government movie together as a review.
