Hello, my name is George Wimmer. I have spent over 32 years volunteering, community organizing, and 16 years in local government – 12 as Mayor. I host Wimmer's Wilderness Podcast, write articles for Critterfacts.com and try to take an informed look at Politics, Community, Government, Environment, and Education from a local perspective. Try the great honey and beeswax products we sell - they are the best.

Episode #50 The Presidency

In episode #50, we discuss the Presidency. As the Presidential election comes to a close Nov 3rd, it is essential to understand the position, its powers, and how it has evolved.

In today’s podcast, we explore the following three points:
Point #1 What is the American Presidency?
Point #2 How do we pick a President?
Point #3 How has the Office of President changed over time?

We use a few audio clips from the West Wing, Winston Churchill, and Plato’s Republic to help make a few points.
We finish with our Quiz allowing our listeners to win a Wimmer’s Wilderness Mason glass drinking jar, recycled cardboard pen, reusable-retractable metal drinking straw, and a $50 gift card.
