Presidential authority

Presidential authority refers to the powers granted to the President of the United States to lead the executive branch, enforce laws, and make decisions for the country. This includes areas like directing the military, negotiating treaties (with Senate approval), appointing officials, and issuing executive orders. While the President has significant influence, these powers are balanced by Congress and the courts to prevent overreach. Ultimately, presidential authority is about exercising leadership within the limits set by the Constitution, ensuring effective governance while respecting checks and balances.
