A. The power to grant clemency.
B. The power of executive privilege.
C. The power to execute the law.
D. The power of appointment and removal.

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is Option C: The power to execute the law

Explanation:

The president has a duty to faithfully execute the laws that are passed by the House of Representatives and the Senate, regardless of how he personally feels about them and regardless of how his own administration views the legislation.  It is Article Two of the United States Constitution that defines the executive branch and it describes the powers and responsibilities of the office of the president. The federal government is responsible for enforcing federal laws. This reflects the separation of powers that is characteristic of the US government. Congress represents the head of the legislative branch, and SCOTUS is the head of the judicial branch. The President is the head of the executive branch.
