Our Constitution gives Congress very broad and important powers. The Constitution also gives the President very important, though less expansive powers. It is apparent that the Founding Fathers clearly wanted Congress to be the most influential branch of our government, yet conflict between Congress and the Presidency over these powers is a recurring theme in our government. A clear understanding of the powers assigned to Congress and the President by the Constitution is needed in order to critically analyze the conflictual and cooperative relationships between Congress and the Presidency.

Write a research paper that identifies and then describes two of the main powers assigned to Congress and two of the main powers assigned to the President by the Constitution. In addition, explain how and why tensions between the Legislative and the Executive branches of government could be created when Congress and the President exercise the powers assigned to them by the Constitution.

The paper should be organized into the following five sections:

Introduction and thesis.
Description of two major powers assigned to Congress by the Constitution.
Description of two major powers assigned to the President by the Constitution.
Explanation of how and why tensions between the Legislative and the Executive branches of government could be created when Congress and the President exercises the powers assigned to them by the Constitution.
Conclusion.

Assignment 2: Marketing of the Acquisition by EDUS

In this assignment, you will research information related to the marketing and promotion of the acquisition by EDUS and provide an assessment. Click here to review the EDUS case and consider the following:

Topics for Research and Analysis

Promotional Goals: Identify specific objectives related to the promotion of EDUS’s acquisition of the institution. In addition, identify specific objectives related to informing potential students of new capabilities and offerings resulting from the acquisition. (Promotional goals vary. Some organizations need to create awareness of their product’s benefits compared to competitors. Other promotional goals may involve communicating new uses for an item, or informing customers or lower prices.)

Business Environment: Identify cultural and legal factors that might influence promotional decisions – both in announcing the acquisition within the region and recruiting new students to the institution. (In some countries, certain information is required in television commercials selling products aimed at children.)

Media Plan: Analyze media availability to determine cost-efficient methods of communicating with potential students within the country and within the geographic region. (While television, radio, newspapers, magazines, and the Internet may be common in industrialized countries, developing economies may require other different media. In some countries, advertising messages are broadcast through large speakers mounted on moving trucks.)

Promotional Strategy: Compare the benefits of push-and-pull promotions for acquiring new students at the institution. Devise a promotional strategy that will help EDUS expand the student body and also inform potential students of increased capability of the institution resulting from this acquisition.

Economic, Cultural, and Political-Legal Environment: Investigate the economic, cultural, and political-legal environment that might affect promotional messages and media relevant to this acquisition.
