Describe and discuss the different powers of the president.Specifically,define the differences between the president's expressed,implied,delegated,and inherent powers and provide an example of each.What are some of the checks placed upon these powers by the other branches of government?

There are five components to this question.
a.Expressed powers: These are the specific powers granted by the Constitution to the president (Article II).For example,the president is authorized to make treaties,grant pardons,and nominate judges and other public officials.
b.Implied powers: These are powers necessary to allow presidential exercise of expressed powers.The power to remove appointed federal officials from office is an example.
c.Delegated powers: These are constitutional powers that are assigned to one governmental agency but that are exercised by another agency with the express permission of the first.By delegating power to the executive branch,Congress substantially enhances the importance of the presidency.For example,if Congress determines that air quality should be improved,it might delegate to a bureaucratic agency in the executive branch the power to identify the best means of bringing about such an improvement as well as the power to implement the actual cleanup process.
d.Inherent powers: These are powers claimed by a president that are not expressed in the Constitution but are inferred from it.Presidential use of the military using his or her authority as commander in chief is an example.
e.Checks on presidential power: While the framers sought an energetic executive,they were also concerned that executive power could be abused.To guard against this possibility,the framers contrived a number of checks on executive power.The president's term is limited to four years.The Congress is empowered to impeach and remove the president,to reject presidential appointments and refuse to ratify treaties,to refuse to enact laws requested by the president,to deny funding for the president's programs,and to override presidential vetoes of congressional enactments.The War Powers Resolution attempts to restrain presidential control over the military.
