About Presidents

The presidency comes with a job description written into Article II: sign or veto bills, command the armed forces, and appoint a cabinet. Around that core sits a whole vocabulary of the office. The Oval Office got its shape under William Howard Taft, Camp David is the presidential retreat in Maryland's Catoctin Mountains, and Air Force One is a call sign rather than a single plane. This crossword mixes those terms with names from Washington and Adams through Lincoln, Roosevelt, and Kennedy.

Reach for this during a unit on the executive branch, or in the weeks around Presidents' Day and a general election.
