This quote illustrates the role of a Commander-in-chief. When the country is invaded or attacked, the president has powers to take <em>critical decisions</em> to deal with the imminent conflict. In the case of any crisis, the president is requesting the congress for <em>similar executive powers</em> in order to wage a war agaisnt the emergency, as if it were a real war.
The fourth oneeeee I got it right on mine.
The first one protects the freedom of the press
The biggest difference between the Watergate Scandal and the Iran-Contra Affair is that the Watergate scandal was an internal politics problem, while the Iran-Contra Affair was a foreign politics problem. Both scandals were exposed by the media.
In the Watergate scandal, president Nixon was directly involved and exposed by the media as head of a group perpetrating illegal activities while it was never proved that President Reagan was directly related with the illegal aid to Contras and Iranian terrorist groups. So President Nixon was directly involved in the scandal.
The Watergate scandal was worse in my opinion because it is more famous and it was the only presidential impeachment in U.S. history, and that undermined the public image of american democracy.
The federal government has the power to oversee national decisions.
