Answer 4

The President has the power to veto legislation passed by Congress. Additionally, the Constitution vests the powers and responsibilities of the commander in chief of the military with the President. Presidents also nominate federal judges and make a number of appointments within the executive branch.

Answer 5

The expressed powers of the President of the United States are mostly set down in Article II of the Constitution. The powers are of two sorts: those exercised alone without legislative approval and those that require consent of the Senate or House. Powers of the President Alone: commander in chief of the armed forces; commission officers of the armed forces; grant reprieves and pardons for federal offenses (except impeachment); convene Congress into special session; receive ambassadors; take care that the laws be faithfully executed; make use of the "executive power" of the office, such as the veto power; give an annual State of the Union Address to Congress; appoint officials to lesser offices. Powers shared with the Senate/House: make treaties; appoint ambassadors, judges, and high governmental officials; approve legislation. The President also has “implied powers.” These are powers that are not listed in the Constitution but have been used by presidents as conditions change. During times of emergency, the President often does things that would not be acceptable during peaceful times. President Lincoln, for example, raised an army, spent money, blockaded southern ports, and suspended the writ of habeas corpus, and issued the Emancipation Proclamation without the approval of Congress. Since the President is the only person elected by the whole nation, the President can use his office to influence events and use his ceremonial duties to express his wishes and goals. He can use the media to get his message to the public or to criticize Congress or to try and convince congress to take a particular action. He can also use his office to influence the activity of the other two branches by his popularity with the public. Even a threat of a veto or the suggested appointment of a certain individual could make the other branches take notice of the implied suggestions from the executive office.

1) The President is Commander in Chief of the U.S. Armed Forces.
2) The President is responsible for enforcing the laws of the United States.
3) The President is Head of State of the United States, representing the U.S. to foreign governments and empowered to negotiate treaties with same, with the advice and consent of the U.S. Senate.
4) The President is empowered to appoint Officers (both civilian and military) of the U.S. government, with the advice and consent of the U.S. Senate.
5) The President appoints Federal Judges to the U.S. Judiciary, with the advice and consent of the U.S. Senate.

For most powers of the Presidency, there exists a Cabinet Secretary to assist the President in the execution of his duties. For instance the Secretary of Defense to direct the operations of the Armed Forces, the Attorney General to enforce U.S. law, and the Secretary of State to represent the U.S. to foreign governments. But in fact all of the duties of the Executive Branch of the Federal Government are ultimately the responsibility of the President of the United States.
