OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT (Jul, 2008)

In this exciting election year, the July/August issue of COBBLESTONE focuses on the powers and responsibilities that come with being president of the United States. See what it takes to run for this office, marvel at the juggling act by presidents as they trying to handle the variety of jobs that come with the territory, explore life in the White House, and meet the many people who help the president keep the country running smoothly. Along the way, we introduce you to specific U.S. presidents who helped shape the executive office over the years and see how ex-presidents continue to make a difference. Also included are activities that test your knowledge of famous presidential speeches and trivia about those who have held this position of power. For example, can you guess which president employed sheep to keep the White House lawn trimmed and why he did that? Or, do you know which president's face appears on the $20? (Pick up this month's issue to find out the answers to these and other fun teasers!) Of course, Ebenezer and the Colonel offer their special taste of humor in the Cartoon Connection, and we also managed to score an interview with former president Jimmy Carter.
