Under which of the following circumstances does a president usually experience a reduction of political power?

A.

the same party controls both Congress and the White House

B.

the economy is doing poorly, with high unemployment rates

C.

the president's approval ratings are high

D.

the number and severity of international crises is increasing

B) the economy is doing poorly, with high unemployment rates

Explanation:

The president is democratically elected and his political capacity is directly associated with the results of his government and his popularity. If an economy comes out of a comforting economy and experiences high unemployment and economic recession, the president tends to lose support from civil society. As a result, parliamentary support also tends to be less, so the president becomes politically weaker.

the answer would be D, its the only one that truly makes sense.
