Answer 1

1) "This schedule item shows that Congress has most of the lawmaking power." — True. Urging Congress to pass the infrastructure piece of the American Jobs Act highlights that Congress makes laws; the President can propose and advocate but cannot unilaterally enact legislation.

2) "This schedule item indicates the president’s interaction with the cabinet." — False. A meeting with "senior advisors" refers to the President meeting with White House advisors/staff, not necessarily cabinet secretaries. A cabinet interaction would be described as meeting with the cabinet or specific department secretaries.
