Overall, history has shown that presidents are most able to accomplish the things they want to get done when:

The economy is good
The economy is bad
They are popular
A different party controls Congress
Their father was also a president

Explanation

Answer: C - Due to the lack of formal power a president has, he must depend on his popularity to convince other people to do things for him. Accomplishing presidential goals is much easier if the president is popular. A popular president can put more political pressure on others than can an unpopular president.
