    Excerpts from Article II of the U.S.

    Constitution

    Directions: As you read this excerpt, circle all the powers that are given to the President. Then,
    answer the questions below.

    Section 1. The executive Power shall be vested in a President of the United States of America.
    He shall hold his Office during the Term of four Years…

    Section 2. The President shall be Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy of the United
    States, and of the Militia of the several States, when called into the actual Service of the United
    States; he may require the Opinion, in writing, of the principal Officer in each of the executive
    Departments, upon any subject relating to the Duties of their respective Offices, and he shall
    have Power to Grant Reprieves and Pardons for Offenses against the United States, except in
    Cases of Impeachment.

    He shall have Power, by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, to make Treaties,
    provided two thirds of the Senators present concur; and he shall nominate, and by and with the
    Advice and Consent of the Senate, shall appoint Ambassadors, other public Ministers and
    Consuls, Judges of the supreme Court, and all other Officers of the United States, whose
    Appointments are not herein otherwise provided for, and which shall be established by Law…

    Section 3. He shall from time to time give to the Congress Information of the State of the Union,
    and recommend to their Consideration such Measures as he shall judge necessary and expedient;
    he may, on extraordinary Occasions, convene both Houses, or either of them… he shall receive
    Ambassadors and other public Ministers; he shall take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed,
    and shall Commission all the Officers of the United States.

    Section 4. The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be
    removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high
    Crimes and Misdemeanors.

    1. List five powers granted expressly to the president by the Constitution. Determine whether
    each power deals with foreign or domestic policy.

    2. In Section 3, the president is empowered to “take care that the laws be faithfully executed.”
    In what way is this Take Care Clause similar to the Necessary and Proper Clause of Article
    I, Sec. 8?
