This consumable workbook, however, provides students with a solid understanding of the constitutional role of presidents, as well as helpful information about how the electoral process functions. Students are not only given a thorough overview of the qualifications of President and the steps one must take to become elected, but they also are provided with engaging projects and worksheets that enable them to become more keenly aware of how the political process works. This resource, containing black and white illustrations, also features short biographical sketches of former American presidents through Barrack Obama, as well as a helpful glossary and answer key. 110 pgs, pb. ~ Mike
