President Grande wants to pass a law forcing everyone to have a poster of him hanging in their bedrooms. Can he pass this law?
  1. Yes. President Grande is the president and he can do whatever he wants.
  2. Yes. The courts would force it to be passed because it is the patriotic duty of all citizens.
  3. Maybe. If the Congress passes the law, then President Grande can sign it.
  4. No. The courts would declare the law unconstitutional.
  5. No. There would be no way to enforce it.
Explanation
Answer: C - According to the Constitution, presidents don’t get to pass laws. They can only sign laws that Congress passes. So, if Congress thought everyone should have a poster of President Grande in their bedrooms, it could become law. Chances are, though, that Congress would not be excited about such a prospect and would not pass the law, disappointing poor President Grande.
