[h=3][/h] [h=1]Watch Lecture Ten[/h] [h=2]“Conclusion: Reviving the Constitutional Executive Power”[/h] 
[h=3][/h] [h=3]
[/h] [h=3]Overview:[/h] The Founders placed the executive power in the hands of a unitary officeholder, the President of the United States. This unity enables the president to act decisively and ensures that he will be held accountable for his actions. The office was designed to be limited and to be checked by two other branches. By contrast, modern government is run chiefly by unaccountable executive-branch bureaucrats who hold all three powers—legislative, executive, and judicial—of government. In order to avert the crisis presented by this unconstitutional combination of powers, citizens must work to understand the principles of the Founders’ Constitution, and seek to apply these principles to contemporary politics.
