Political Cartoon
Cartoon Explanation
In this political cartoon Obama's face is being put into Mount Rushmore, and there is a bubble from a construction worker that reads "It was by 'executive' order". I think the cartoon is conveying that Obama is abusing his power as commander in chief, by altering a historical landmark. This relates to Article II, Section 2 because the cartoon is analyzing how he uses his power as commander in chief.
