What are the sources of presidential power?
350709
They're commander in chief of the military, veto power over Congress bills, appoint state officals, administer the various government departments, conduct foreign affairs.  Probably more, but that's just a few.

Here is a secondary source:\nhttp://miltonhershey.com/\n\nPrimary source\nPrimary sources are original records created at the time historical events occurred or well after events in the form of memoirs and oral histories. Primary sources may include letters, manuscripts, diaries, journals, newspapers, speeches, interviews, memoirs, documents produced by government agencies such as Congress or the Office of the President, photographs, audio recordings, moving pictures or video recordings, research data, and objects or artifacts such as works of art or ancient roads, buildings, tools, and weapons. These sources serve as the raw material to interpret the past, and when they are used along with previous interpretations by historians, they provide the resources necessary for historical research. \n(You could look up newspaper articles about him that were published in his lifetime, or his obituary.)\n\ns

All presidents have that power, I think it has been that way since the begining of the country.

I'm assuming you mean three powers that one has that the other does not.\n\n1: Article I, Section 3: The Senate shall have the sole Power to try all Impeachments.\n\n2: Article I, Section 7: All Bills for raising Revenue shall originate in the House of Representatives; but the Senate may propose or concur with Amendments as on other Bills.\n\n3: (Advise and Consent) Article II, Section 2: He (the President) shall have Power, by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, to make Treaties.

A president's power and influence may be limited, but politically the president is certainly the most important power in Washington.\n\nThough constrained by various other laws passed by Congress, the President's executive branch conducts most foreign policy, and his power to order and direct troops as commander-in-chief is quite significant. (The exact limits of what a President can do with the military without Congressional authorization are unknow, even today)\n\nThere are checks and balances to assure the government is ran according to the constitution.  There are always ways to influence, but the body has more influence on the president, then vise versa.\n\nThe constitution provides certain checks and balances among the three branches of the federal government. The influence of Congress on the presidency has varied from one period to another; it depends largely on the leadership and the political influence of the President. The authors of the Constitution expected the greater power to lie with Congress and that is one reason they are described in Article One. Under the first half-dozen Presidents, power seems to have been evenly divided between the President and Congress, in part because early Presidents largely restricted their vetoes to claims of unconstitutionality.\n\nTo improve their working relationships with Congress, presidents in recent years have set up a Congressional Liaison Office in the White House. Presidential aides keep abreast of all important legislative activities and try to persuade senators and representatives of both parties to support administration policies.\n\n\nHope this helps...

It depends on the state, for instance in Texas(were I live) the governor has very little power, while in other states they have much more. most can introduce legislation at the state level and etc. Basically they are state level presidents with limited power and more checks on what they can and cannot do.

The Implied Powers go to the states.  The Federal government is only allowed the express powers that are enumerated in the US Constitution

Answer to subquestion 1. Yes\nAnswer to subquestion 2. No.  The executive branch cannot assume powers that are not vested in it except by Congressional authority and cannot assume powers that Congress does not have within the Constitution.  Anything that the president does is subject to review by the Judicial Branch and can be found to be unconstitutional.  Presidents can only use powers granted by Congress.\n\nMy answer to your overall question:  Vote out the current career politicians and replace them with regular Americans like you and me.  That's what the Constitution was set up for.  Representation by the people in the House, and representation of the states in the Senate.  There should be no federal government except to the extent necessary to provide for basic needs of the people and protection from our enemies.  States should actually be in control of the direction of the "ship" and held in check by the appointed representatives of the people.  Don't vote for a Democrat or a Republican.  Vote for a candidate that represents what you believe is in the best interest of the country, not the best interest of a social group, an economic group, or any other wannabe majority.  Hell, vote for me!  I'm a Libertarian.

What you are being asked is to write a paper that discusses the separation of powers in the US Constitution regarding the military.\n\nThe President has certain powers and authorities over the military and Congress as different powers and authorities.\nThe idea is to ensure that neither can gain total control of the military but prevent a deadlock because the two may not disagree.

Article two of the US Constitution establishes the power of the executive branch (mainly the President).\n\nIs that short enough?
