While section 1 of Article II
describes the electoral power, section 2 and 3 focuses on the power of the American president
Unlike enumerated power
Inherent powers are not explicitly described by the Constitution as belonging to the President (vs Un-enumareted power:implies power for congress)
The appointment power of the President means
that he/she can nominate federal judges and other important members of the government witht the advice and the consent of the Senate
In order to influence Congress’s agenda
the President can recommend bills to the legislative that Congress can accept or refuse to adopt
The State of the Union Speech refers
to a speech that the president delivers once a year to inform Congress of the State of the Country.
Despite being the commander-in-chief
of the Armed forces the President cannot declare war as this possibility was given to Congress.
According to Article II section 4 quote
The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the US shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason Bribery or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors
According to Article II section 4
The president can be impeached by the House of representative in case of treason, bribery, high crimes or misdemeanours.
Unless two third of the Senate Congress
find him guilty, the President will not be removed from office following Impeachment.
Even though the text of Article II
has not changed since its adoption, the president is much more powerful today than in 1787.
Despite their nomination by the President
Federal judges and Supreme Court Justices have to be confirmed by a simple majority of the Senate
