Question

According to Article II of the Constitution, one of the president’s duties is to serve as commander in chief. create laws and interpret them. set up and manage the courts. serve in the House and Senate.

Answer 1

The correct answer is Serve as commander in chief.

The ability to create federal laws is a power given to the US Congress. The ability to interpret laws is a power given to the Supreme Court. This shows why the second answer is incorrect.

Even though the president nominates candidates for the Supreme Court, the actual managing and development of the courts is handled by the judicial branch, showing why statement three is incorrect.

The President is part of the executive branch, so he/she is not part of the House or Senate. This is because the House and Senate are technically part of the legislative branch (which is completely different). This shows why answer four is incorrect.

Answer 2

One of the presidents duties is to serve as the commander in chief.
