US Government (Friday, April 28, 4th period)

Josh smiled as the class walked into the room for the last time. "You guys have been a lot of fun to teach this semester," he said, looking at all of them. "Hope you learned a little bit of how the American system of government works, but if you didn't, don't tell me, okay? I'd like to think I taught you something. Anyway, have a good summer, and I'll see you back here in the Fall. Except for the seniors, of course--good luck with whatever you end up doing away from Fandom." He smiled. "Just as a warning, I wouldn't mention weetiny bunnies to anyone who hasn't, you know, been here. They might think you're insane."

He passed out the final exam, then sat down at his desk.

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?

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

"I have absolutely no idea," Josh said, running his hand through his hair. "Probably just government and campaigning--I'm sure there's someone out there more qualified to teach history than I am."

"The one class of yours I didn't take," Elizabeth grinned.

Josh grinned. "Well, I'm used to having groupies," he teased.

Elizabeth rolled her eyes slightly. "I don't think I'd know how to be a groupie if I tried," she said honestly.

"There's normally more squealing," Josh replied, nodding.

His eyes twinkled. "Maybe that's a course I could teach. Dealing with your fans."

"I don't squeal," Elizabeth told him simply, convienently ignoring any times when there might have been sounds similiar to squealing.

She grinned. "Think that there's a need for it here?"

"With all the Chosen Ones and fulfillments of prophecy and whatever?" Josh snickered. "Probably. Got to learn how to deal with the press, how to react to fan website, stuff like that."

Not that he had reacted particularly well in either arena, but he wasn't going to mention that.

"You have a fan website?" Elizabeth asked, obviously extremely amused and making plans to look it up as soon as possible.

"I might," Josh said, cheeks going pink. "I didn't put it up or anything."

Elizabeth giggled. "But you know it exists," she said. "Did you google yourself or something?"

Josh looked shifty. "Maybe. But I don't spend all day putting my name into search engines or anything. I'm a busy guy."

"Of course, sir," Elizabeth nodded, looking completely innocent.

Josh slanted his eyes at her. "I never liked you much," he said, smiling.

Elizabeth held one hand to her heart. "Oh, now that hurts, Professor," she said, grinning.

Re: After class--say goodbye to Josh

Josh grinned back. "Good."

He made little shooing gestures. "I'm sure you have more important things to do than hang out in here with me."

Re: After class--say goodbye to Josh

Elizabeth nodded. "I'm sure I can find something," she said, still grinning. "Have a good summer, Professor."

"You too, Elizabeth. See you in September."
