that a president’s decisions can affect the country? A.
appointing new Supreme Court justices
B.
helping to set the agenda for laws that are discussed in Congress

C is not included in the roles of the president. In a democratic government, the people will be the ones who will vote for their local officials as well. The president will appoint his cabinet of members; thus, A is correct. Congress makes the laws but the president can influence; thus, B is correct.
