Civics 101,

July 17, 2018

Why does the U.S. have an Electoral College? How do congressional investigations work? What does the minority whip actually do? Civics 101 is the podcast refresher course on some basics you may have forgotten, or slept through, in school.

Great source for effecting change!

Made possible in part by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting.
Civics 101 is a production of New Hampshire Public Radio.

Sample: Episode 7
You may have heard of executive orders… but how about executive memoranda? Today, we talk about the different tools of executive action that the President uses to direct his administration, and enforce public policy. Are they laws? Can they be revoked by Congress? How are they vetted? Karen Hult, Chair of the Department of Political Scientist at Virginia Tech, fills us in. Submit your questions: civics101@nhpr.org www.civics101podcast.org or call the Civics 101 hotline 202-798-6865
