Do you know how the Judicial branch can check the Legislative Branch? After listening to this, you will know examples you may have learned in a civics class and forgotten, as well as a few times checks and balances were abused. Is our government perfect? Probably not; it's made by man and man is not perfect. But knowing facts and the correct terminology can help you let those internet trolls they've been hoodwinked by their favorite meme they found on the timeline from a former high school classmate that now let's you know you can make $800 a week from home--and it's not a pyramid scheme. 

Also, I sing a song. This may become a thing. I apologize in advance, buuuuut you can stop before the singing. We're probably all lucky that I chose history as the final major.
