In Executive Command, students get to become Commander-in-Chief for a four-year term. As President of the United States, players will be faced with the daily challenges of running a government and keeping the country healthy and safe. Each player will decide on a signature issue during his or her first State of the Union address; sign bills into law; delegate new laws to the appropriate federal agencies; handle international diplomacy; and command the military during times of war. The goal is for students to keep everything running smoothly during their first term in office. Watch out, though... being President can be a stressful at times!
