Pres power:
a. When the president acts pursuant to and express or implied authorization of Congress, his authority is at its max.
b. When the President acts in absence of a congressional grant or denial of authority, he can only rely upon his own independent powers, but there is a zone of twilight in which he and congress may have concurrent authority.
