Each group then examines limits on number of terms or years for the President and lack of Constitutional limits for terms in Congress or appointment to the Supreme Court. Groups decides what limits, if any, should be placed on number of terms one may serve in the House or Senate or number of years for which one may be appointed to the Supreme Court. Justification for the groups' decisions must be provided. Groups could maintain current language, maintain and add language, or scrap all current language and completely re- write. Depending on age and background knowledge of students, group work should take about 15 or 20 minutes.
Teacher writes down answers from group reporters on overhead, chalk board, or butcher paper.
First gather all responses for Constitutional requirements to be President, second, all the Constitutional requirements to serve in Congress, and then all the requirements to be a member of the U.S. Supreme Court. A similar sequence should be repeated for limits on terms of appointment. Doing so better focuses student attention and keeps the task of recording questions and responses more manageable. Teacher should encourage appropriate interchange among groups and prompt groups with questions and clarifications. Discussion should be directed towards retaining or changing language and the appropriateness of these decisions for the 21st century.
