The President's formal power are powers that the President is granted in the U.S. Constitution while informal powers are not listed in the Constitution, but it was already given to him due to obvious and common sense logic. Some formal powers that the President of the United States have is leading the military as Commander-in-Chief, he can veto bills, and grant pardons. Informal powers includes being chief diplomat (because who wants to talk and negotiate to 535 member of Congress), economic leader, and in the events of natural disaster he (or she) is given powers to react to natural disasters quickly.
