This discussion asks you to apply the concepts from the module’s readings to evaluate a recent U.S. President. This practice helps you to develop the skill of defending a position using logic and evidence. You have the opportunity here to practice applying, translating, and re-working what you have learned to function in unexpected ways.
For this discussion you will match a more modern American President to the following categories:
Good: identify an American President that you have an affinity for, and then explain what makes that President “good.”
Bad: identify an American President that you think performed poorly in his constitutional duties, and then explain what makes that President “bad.”
Ugly: identify an American President that you think brought shame to the executive office, and then explain what makes that President’s behavior/policies “ugly.”

Ugly: identify an American President that you think brought shame to the executive office, and then explain what makes that President’s behavior/policies “ugly.”
You can only assess the following Presidents:
Nixon, Ford, Carter, Reagan, Bush I, or Clinton.
You can focus on one President, or write about two or three, depending on your assessments. For instance, if you think Ford met all three categories, then explain why. Or if you think Nixon was “good,” but Bush I was both “bad” and “ugly,” explain why.
