Content: How does the Constitution limit presidential power? C) both A and B
Answer: The Constitution limits presidential power both by making the president share functions like law making with Congress, and by requiring the president get approval for appointments to the courts. Uncertainty over the limits to presidential power is caused primarily by the fact that the constitutional definition of those powers is broad and unspecific. While the Constitution lays out some of the president's duties, and indicates certain limits on his powers, much remains very vague. It is not clear, for example, just how much additional power a president can claim on the basis of Article II's vesting of "the executive power" in the president. Accordingly, presidents are often left to define for themselves the limits of their powers under the broad headings of "commander-in-chief" and so on.
