How Presidents Govern: Crash Course Government and Politics #14
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 25 ก.ค. 2024
- This week Craig Benzine talks about how the President gets things done. Filling the role of the Executive Branch is a pretty big job - much too big for just one person. It's so big that the President employs an entire federal bureaucracy! Today, we’re just going to focus on those closest to the President, like the Vice President, the Cabinet, and the Executive Office of the President. We’ll figure out which strategy is most useful in helping the President make things happen and we’ll discuss the controversy around the President’s gradual increase in power. Oh, and as many of you noticed - last episode eagle got off too easy. Let’s see if we can make it up to you.

Being a postal worker, I'll have you know that the Post Office is actually incredibly profitable. It just happens to also be in a great deal of debt because the majority of it's reserve funds were taken away from it by the federal government to subsidize social security in the late 90s. The recession didn't help the Post Office at all, thus the many post office shutdowns. But now that the economy is improving, the Post Office is doing fairly well. We're all just hoping the feds don't take more money from us. Because we've almost got ourselves out of the hole financially speaking.

William Stockhecker POWER!!! UNLIMITED POWER!!!!
William Stockhecker just....amazing.
William Stockhecker And then he was ELECTED as emperor......then a small group of terrorists blew up the government resulting in mass starvation, increase in crime, the remaning admirals start fighting eachouther for power creating an ever more divided galaxy, then the outher rim pirates invaded at took over most of the galaxy.
Actions have conequences.
Mystogan Edolas sounds a lot like what happened to the roman empire too. the superpower builds itself up and then when overinflated, it gets popped by something "insignificant". actually, here's a few empires from history that would fall into his niche:
Russian Empire, Soviet Union, Ottoman Empire, Persian Empire, British Empire. they all have fallen when they were "too big to fail" :P
***** well not the British Empire, it fell as the country went bankrupt fighting the Nazi's and the United States demanded we get rid of it in order to receive any aid (loans) to make sure Britain was no longer a global superpower

I honestly can't thank you enough. Lately I've been procrastinating in my AP world history class, and I did nothing. But every since we watched your videos in our class, I've been hooked. I watch your history and science channel and every other channel. You have helped me through a lot of tests and helping me into getting higher then a C. Thank you so much, and continue to make videos so I can graduate and not become homeless.
Not into government, politics, or history, but Craig is hilarious and makes watching these videos for my U.S. Constitution course a lot more entertaining.
Craig is absolutely hilarious, love him as a host!
Craig's personality is perfect for Crash Course. I can't believe we didn't get him sooner.
Thank you for helping me feel mighty better about my AP Government exam that i have tomorrow despite not having had the class since first semester!
8:05 Oh boy, this aged so well
Thank you so much for these videos! The few you've published have helped me study a lot for the AP gov test tomorrow. I really appreciate how fluidly the videos cover vocabulary, because that's what the test primarily consists of. I would suggest keeping the clones in consistently similar clothes for the places/things they represent. That way there can be a visual association :) Thank you!!!!!
Thank you for these videos, glad to see you guys getting the support you rightfully deserve- high school senior
He said "The Hank Green's" Lmao!!!!
In my country, cigarettes are still advertised on TV albeit without any depiction of a person smoking. Smoking is pretty much the norm here. We have smokers as young as age 10. It's horrible.
+Harun Suaidi Where are you from?
Indonesia
Well the richest billionaires in Indonesia are tobacco moghuls. They have a lot of influence on government.
Informational & Entertaining, but I wish this series would have been stared in time to be finished for the AP US GOV test this year.... Tuesday May 12... It will help future generations though.
It sure is helping future generations for AP us gov
You couldn't of uploaded this at a more perfect time. Thank you!
"Ride around on Heely's and play Pokeeman." XD how he said it
"Crash Course was made with the help of these presidents of the United States."

+Nolan Thiessen Obama is a guest on the final episode. fingers crossed
I love it
"everyone loves the president's policies. everyone."

The Patriots Act is an example of an Executive Order.
Engineer a situation that justifies the use of an Executive Order and one can almost do anything they like.

***** "Hattrick!"
***** I'm assuming the Hat trick was to make up for THE TRAVESTY in episode #13
***** Then wouldn't it be called FALCON PUNCH?
"... we don't see much of the White House Staff..."
Oh Craig, if only you knew.
The postal service isn't doing well because Congress passed a bill in 2006 requiring it to meet unreasonable pension requirements, and prohibiting it from engaging in activities that were designed to raise a profit. It's less to do with the rise in email and more do with Congress deliberately hamstringing it.
Loving this so far
always so helpful craig
YOU ARE GREAT, CRAIG!
Can you do video about Parliamentary System, Common Law, Criminal Law, Enactment of Bill etc etc..looking forward from CrashCourse
Literally riding on Amtrak while watching this video, while he said that Amtrak is a great way to travel! :)
That eagle has been through it I'm just saying 😂😂😂😂😂. Great Video Crash Course is awesome.
I hate studying government and politics, but I love Craig, so it works.
Great show.
Thank you CC/voqal
good luck on the AP tomorrow yall
Your channel helped so much in my online political science class thank you soooooo much!!!!
"The peace war" lol. I love it.
I need the rest of the videos! the AP test is in two days!!!
you are a good actor and awesome thank you
Great video.
Crash Course British government and Politics! Please.
***** oh dear lord.....parliament gov't is confusing
***** oh please no
....you do realize this is a PBS thing, right? meaning thats its america only.
Administrative strategy is important because, especially now, we live in an age of presidential government. The executive branch is huge. (Thanks to usurpation of the executive branch during FDR times) The president has permanent agencies that perform defined management tasks for the president. This is reffered to as the institutional presidency
I like the reference to Hank Green interview with the president Obama.
why you guys are so good :00000 amzing!!!
Nice job on the Skyrim armor!
Tennessee Valley Authority is also a federally owned corporation that is quite profitable.

Eagle awesomeness again.

"Majority" is a strong word my friend check out the 1992 / 2000 presidential elections...not to mention voters in states with a large population is worth less then a vote in a small state
***** majority = more than half
1992 presidential election popular vote: Clinton - 43% Bush - 37.5% Perot - 19%
2000 presidential election popular vote: Bush - 47.9% Gore - 48.4%
The elected president in these elections was not voted for by the majority of people.
/watch?v=W9H3gvnN468
And false, 1 vote is not equal when you consider the number of electoral college votes is not proportionate to the population of a state.

Google can answer most of our questions, we just have to ask...and check the sources.
HA! Double eagle punch to make up for last week!
FunkyHonkyCDXX triple!
FunkyHonkyCDXX He even SAID three times, dumbass.
Be nice. I'm sure he posted the comment after the 2nd punch out of joy, he was so sad after being robbed last week that as soon as the 2nd attack had occurred he posted a comment to thank Craig for his reckless violence to a symbol of our nation, that he didn't feel it necessary to watch the rest of the video to view the 3 strike.
HeeminGamin You're partially right. I did post the comment immediately after the second punch out of joy. However, I didn't feel the need to correct myself after seeing the third punch because I figured the fact that he clearly pointed it out would make it patently obvious that I had posted it before he'd done it. Clearly I have once again over estimated the internet.
Maybe. But i wouldnt have commented if you werent a top comment. I just cant let obvious falsehood stand uncommented. Your probably not be a dumbass though...
I always found it funny how much times the words king, queen, prince and princess are thrown around in America, despite how much the Founding Fathers hated the idea of royalty
I wish I had this when I took AP Government!!!
Hey guys, I love the channel, and the info but can you give us clarification on the FED? It may say federal, but it's not in control of the executive branch. Fiscal policy and monetary policy are separated. Please correct this or give me a link to information that stands behind what you said.
3:45
Congrats on the eagle hat trick.
Craig needs his own episode
Good video
Please do a Crash Course Economics series! Macro and Micro!
eagle punches for the win!!
WHAT? 13 WEEKS? man.... for me it was like a month ago....
This makes me sad, I was already hoping they didn't shut down to US Postal Service, but finding out that Chyna's dad works there just made me even more bummed :(
8:06 Hmmm.... sounds familiar?
yes
Does anyone know what is happening in the photo at 07:36? It looks like two congress members brawling it out.
awesome :)
Every thime i watch ur videos before a test, i pass, and i have been failing alot of test, THANK U!
You punch those eagles, Craig!
In itself, "Let's not get cynical" isn't a very good counter argument
"An Eagle can't carry you around, unless you're Gandalf." That made the video for me.
Hope this helps for my final exam
Press 9 on your keyboard, then press 9 every 2 seconds. Magic will be born.
OMG Thanks for this!
Please Please Please make a entire course on math and geometry and algebra and stuffs like that Please. Thank you for reading my comment if you did do so
there's an episode of Seinfeld where Kramer explains how to send a letter without the mail and even that list is already mostly outdated.
hey you are really helpful
5:50 Is that Ezio Auditore as a mage from Skyrim?
*Rulers do not have power, only your obedience.* Government's power is fictional, you just are convinced they have it and you act accordingly.
I don't live in the USA, I'm from England, so I guess what I'm about to say is coming from a not so informed source.
I think Barack Obama is the best president the USA has had for a long time. I mean, he's a likeable guy, or at least I like what I've seen of him. He's implemented some very interesting polices (Obama-care for 1) and looking from the outside, he seems as if he actually cares for the foreign image of the USA (which you must admit 'Murican bro's you really do need help there)
He's more liberal, and being a liberal type of guy, I like this as I've always saw the USA as more of a 'inward' looking, conservative country interested primarily on it's own affairs. And lastly I think he's a genuinely 'good' guy who really does seem to want to do the USA's citizens proud.
Now I know he's not universally popular (who ever is?) and I hear a lot of American's berate Barack and I'd like to know why.
Ooshgaar Obama is liberal?
Hah... HAH! Good one. Obama is a good president? *Dying from laughter* Sure, sure....
lolpauve Well ok. As I've said I'm looking from the outside in, and I've not really done much in the way of research into the guy. So, I can see you not a fan of his. Please elaborate.
Ooshgaar Oh dear where to begin.
Well one, breaking of or attempting to break campaign promises. Remember the whole "bring our troops home" thing? In fact, his administration was heavily lobbying Prime Minister Maliki for a status of forces agreement to allow some U.S. troops to remain in Iraq after 2011. It was only the refusal by the Iraqis which forced complete withdrawal of U.S. troops. Similarly in Afghanistan, he said something along the lines of getting them out in summer of 2011. However, not only did he not get them out, he escalated it into the border region of Pakistan.
That's number one. Number two, the general shitting of civil liberties which granted mainly done by his administration and not him directly but he's the president and does have control over some of it, which he definitely did not use for good. *Cough* Drone strikes *cough* and Gitmo/Bagram/Gitmo North and military tribunals to which Obama said first, paraphrasing "hell no" and when he got into office his attitude was more like "well ok".
Gay rights is another thing. Obama in 2012: Well i think everyone is equal but I can't be bothered to lift a finger about it.
(Note that was not an actual quote, that was just my interpretation of a statement he made during the second presidential campaign.
But this is just what I've picked up on, I reccomend you skim through this: www.obamatheconservative.com/
and I do mean skim since it's quite long and comprehensive (and well written and well sourced.
lolpauve Thank you! these things I did not know. I will indeed take a look at that and I thank you again for your polite reply.
Ooshgaar He's not wrong that Obama has done many conservative things, but to call him conservative from an American perspective (pretty much all American politicians are conservative from a European perspective) is flat out wrong. Also, as Greg pointed out in this very video, it's hard for presidents to get things done with a divided Washington. And finally, here's a good look at Obama's campaign promises. www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/promises/obameter/
4:37 high five
Vision for President.
Dear CrashCourse Team,
Could you Please do a episode about ''The Sykes-Picot Agreement, officially known as the Asia Minor Agreement''
Would be very learnfull to have a CrashCourse about it, and easy to share! Rory steward has a Awesome documantary about Lawrence of Arabia, check it out!
Real eye-opener on modern middle-east politics
Why should the post office have to earn a profit? We don't expect our roads to earn a profit.
We shouldnt have to supply it with money outside of paying for services either, but when they are in a deficit our taxes go to it
calculon000 Ever heard of toll roads?
Mystogan Edolas Yeah, we don't HAVE THOSE anymore. It's not a law or anything, they just inhibit free travel and trade more than they help pay for their own upkeep.
Argusthecat Where do you live? The U.S. totally has toll roads although not as many these days and most are made to fund local projects, typically pay for the road itself.
calculon000 The Post Office is expected to deliver a letter to any address in the USA for the price of a first class stamp, unlike UPS and FedEx. This is necessary for the country to function.
So... I have this test in about six hours. ^^;; Been watching this since I woke up before my pre-study nap. Let's hope my panic study session works this time. I had the course first semester rather than second...
I love it so much dude that will help my kids
😊😊😊😊😊👑👑👑👑👑👑👑😁😁😁
I'm waiting for when that eagle decides to square back up with him
Ur a cool dude Wheezy. Wheezy for Pres!!
This video needs to go viral. Everyone thinks that the president is the Emperor of the US.
Speaking of the president creating emergencies.....
Lol the Hank Greens
I'm pretty sure it was Tyler/Taylor (cant remember which one) that annexed TX while he was a lame duck?? Right?
Can you please do a Crash Course on British Politics? Explain it to all the dummies over hear!
A president, presides. “President” isn’t a verb.
I think you made an error in the video description. I believe that it should read "employs" rather than "employees."

rcutler9 about to get that solid 1
Is it just me or does this guy remind you of Spool from Funhaus?
wow i did not know that amtrack was had any connection to the government
6:31 pretty much, yeah.
Craigs becoming more like Vsauce. He just needs to put on his glasses. Kappa
What is going on in the photo at 7:38?
Yeah for Amtrak! Happy 44th anniversary!
The vice president is also nationally elected. If the president is nationally elected so is the speaker of the house because both are voted on by a group of people elected in each state sepratlly.
Either this century or in the next, I think the postal service will be out of commission. Emails have taken over with faster speeds and whatnot, and package deliveries are being done by drones, I hear. Not entirely sure on that though. :P
Thoughts on the postal service?
Fair enough, but so is the Third Amendment.
Some parts of the Constitution definitely need an upgrade. Thankfully, later amendments have done some of that. :)
Woodenfan dont forget package delivery
That's the part I keep thinking about.
I kinda feel bad for the Postmaster General though. He's working in a field that's getting less and less work.
Woodenfan Actually it's only losing revenue in the area of letters and stamps, the drones thing is still a long long way off. The main problem with the post office is that it is starting to become like UPS and FedEx, hiring temp workers instead of full fledged employees.
Thanks, Luke :) Knew I wasn't 100% accurate
"the *majority* of the public" haha good one
