Parker Bell English Period 7 Research Paper: Fracking Hydraulic fracking, or fracking, is a process of extracting oil and natural gas from deep underground shale formations. These resources accessed by fracking could not be accessed by any other available method currently known, making it a very important practice for all drilling companies. However, it has still received heavy public criticism for its impact on the environment. This paper will argue that, although it may cause some environmental damage, fracking is a necessary evil so that companies can fully use the oil and natural gas rigs that they already have in place.

Chapter 6: The Presidency as an Institution The dual nature of the presidency refers to how the power and role of the president is always changing. On one hand, the president has specific powers laid out in the constitution. On the other hand, the president loses some powers, gains others, and has his role changing. The president has always had the power to make treaties, grant pardons, and nominate the judiciary as well as other public officials. Over time presidents have been able to increase their power by taking control during war or another time of crisis. No the American president is not too powerful. Whenever any president attempts to make a grab for too much power, congress or the Supreme Court can shoot him down. This prevents any president from becoming too powerful.
