​Cases against former President Trump


 September 25, 2023
​​
Today,  we discussed the topics that we will cover over the course of the next 3 quarters.
I also gave a short presentation about what a "government shutdown" means.  The U.S. Government may face a financial shutdown starting October 1.  What this means is that  some National Parks will be closed and federal office workers will not be paid until Congress approves a budget.  
We are the only country in the world that has this kind of  problem every year!

Next week, we will discuss how the U.S. Government is organized and a short presentation about former President Trump's legal difficulties and the criminal charges against him and what will happen next.
​

What is a "Government Shutdown"?
