US Government [Tuesday, December 18, 1st period]

Josh barely looked up from his pile of newspapers as the government students filed into his classroom. It stopped him from stressing out about the radio last night. "Here are you exams, people," he said, finally remembering to pass the papers out, "try not to burst out crying if at all possible."

1. What concepts of Roman and Greek government did the American Founding Fathers use when coming up with the way they wanted this country to work? Which philosophers of the time influenced their thinking?

2. What was the Great Compromise? How about the 3/5 Compromise?

3. Give me two Constitutional responsibilities of the President of the United States. Throwing out the first pitch isn't one of them, just in case you were wondering.

4. How does a bill become a law? Humming will be mocked.

5. How many Supreme Court justices are there? What do they do?

6. Why is the press so freakin' annoying? No, really, why?

EC: The Executive Branch is the most powerful branch of the federal government. Prove me right or wrong.

When the finals were handed in, Josh gave the class a smile. "It has been a real pleasure teaching here for the last two and a half years. I've accepted a job as the campaign manager for Congressman Matt Santos's run for president, so I'll be leaving the island at the end of the week, but if any of you are looking for a summer job and really love to knock on doors, I'll leave my email address for you."

Lana snaked her hand out from under the blankets. "Thank you. You too. And I hope Matt Santos turns out to be as good as you hope he is."

She laughed again. "Guess I won't have to stress over who to vote for in the next election."

She grinned and moved forward to hug him, blankets and all. "I won't forget you."

"Bye, Professor Lyman." She stepped back and smiled up at him. "Maybe we'll run into each other another time."
