Oh, those politicians!

Here's some great sites to help build a dictionary that's ready for American politics.

This is the link for the president's cabinet:  http://www.politics1.com/cabinet.htm, and one can explore for other info there.

Another fantastic site for past presidents and their first ladies is found at this link:  https://www.whitehouse.gov/1600/Presidents.  Think of how many school buildings are named after presidents and first ladies.

Next, you may need to have the U.S. Supreme Court Justices.  http://www.supremecourt.gov/about/biographies.aspx, and if you hunt around the site, you can find past justices to input into your dictionary.  The Supreme Court is sometimes referred to as SCOTUS (SKOE-TUS).

Need U.S. governors?  Try this site:  http://www.netstate.com/states/tables/st_governors.htm.

Don't forget those senators!  http://www.senate.gov/general/contact_information/senators_cfm.cfm
