Americana Selections - Article II. Executive
~ The Constitution of the United States
"The executive power shall be vested in a President of the United States of America...." Article. II. Section. 1.
Article II of the U. S. Constitution establishes the executive branch of government. It determines the method of electing the President
and Vice President, their qualifications and compensation. It makes the President commander in chief of the army and navy and able to
grant pardons. It establishes the impeachment process. It allows the President, with the advice and consent of Congress, to make treaties and appointments, and to give advice to Congress
on the state of the Union. It contains the presidential oath of office.
Susan hand-lettered Article II over a background drawing of the White House, viewed from the North Grounds. She carried over the
colors of black, brown, red, white, and blue and the themes established in "The Preamble" into this piece. "We the people," lettered in
deep red Gothic capitals, looms above the White House. The text of Article II is surrounded by the names of real people who Susan met
at her art shows and agreed to help her represent "We the people."
