The Presidency and the Constitution - Q&A 5b: "Introduction: The Modern Presidency"

Presenting the 10-part Hillsdale College course titled "The Presidency and the Constitution." This fifth Q&A features Kevin Portteus, Associate Professor of Politics, Hillsdale College, in conversation with John Miller, Hillsdale College's Director of the Herbert H. Dow II Program in American Journalism.

This Q&A, as well as the remaining Q&As in the course, has a Lecture counterpart that should be watched before viewing the Q&A.

Carpe diem!

Hillsdale College (https://www.Hillsdale.edu) has many online courses available for free to all. Most of these courses are on a 10-week schedule; that is, one lecture/Q&A per week for 10 weeks. I plan on making these available on that same one-per-week schedule, regardless the overall number of weeks involved in a given course (5, 10, 11...whatever). Each course usually involves a "Lecture" and a "Q&A." Some, however, may have an "Introduction" (or something similarly titled) in addition to the Lecture and Q&A. Whatever video content is available for that week will be posted at the same time, if I have it all (which, at this time, I do).

Considering how easy it is to participate in these free-to-watch courses via the Hillsdale website, I encourage visitors here to consider that. For those who, for whatever reason, would rather view this content elsewhere, I am making them available here. (I believe there is no copyright issue, but I make no guarantees that the content will always be available here. Another reason, perhaps, to consider following the coursework via the Hillsdale website.)

At present I have available 16 courses, most of which are on a 10-week schedule. At the first posting for a new course, I will endeavor to properly indicate the number of weeks for that particular course. There are more than 16 courses available from Hillsdale, but I have chosen only these 16. (Note that this number will likely grow, as Hillsdale continues to add courses.)

Uploads will usually occur from about 0000UTC to 0600UTC on Friday.
