What Are The Limits The Powers Of The Executive Branch

The Constitution limits the powers of the Executive Branch, without limits the President would be able to make unconstitutional acts towards the government. The President is the main vocal point towards the people and in the Executive Branch. The main purpose of the Executive Branch is to enforce the laws made by the Legislative Branch. There are many other roles in the branch as well such as officers, the Vice President , and the cabinet. Article II of the Constitution has a big impact on the Executive Branch, including the powers limited and granted to the president and the other offices.    
The Executive Branch has many powers but in some ways they are limited by the Constitution. Some of the president's powers are to enforce and the carry out laws made by Congress. In addition, the president has to make treaties with foreign nations, appointment certain government officials, veto laws, is the Commander-in-Chief, and deal with Ambassadors from other countries.  The president also calls together both houses of Congress which are the House of Representatives and Senate. Some limits are "advice an consent" from Congress

about the officials nominated, has to have Congress approve treaties, and Congress is the one that declares war with the power to provide money.  The Twenty-Second Amendment is an example of Congress putting limits on the Executive Branch. Many presidents served for many terms such as Ulysses Grant and Theodore Roosevelt but it was partially driven by President Franklin Roosevelt serving four terms in a row. Congress worried about one person having so much power so they said they could only run two terms of each four years.  Many people have had there own opinions about limiting the power. Such as Mike Huckabee said, "You don't just give the Executive Branch unlimited resources, unlimited power. Our founders were very concerned about too much power being invested in any one, in any branch. The balance of power is fundamental to our system." The Executive Branch has certain powers but what powers should be given or taken away.  
The Executive Branch has important powers although some may need to be taken and/or granted. Executive privilege should be seized, it is claimed by the President of the United States for with holding actions or information in public interest. In 1974, the Supreme Court Case, U.S. vs. Nixon provided that Executive privilege should get taken away. Since Nixon had Executive privilege he kept useful evidence that let him with hold it from the court in the Watergate Scandal.  If he did not have Executive privilege then he would have been prosecuted more fairly and impeached. In todays current events Obama says that he will speak out against Trump if he thinks U.S. ideals are at risk. Barack Obama, our current president, and Donald Trump, our future president, both have different perspectives and are speaking out against each other. For example, Obama spoke out against Trumps ideas for immigration, taking away Obamacare, and many other things. Obama also says that he will not stay quiet if Trumps action's are hurting the country. Obama should be able to advise Trump, but not force him to do what  Obama wants. There should be limits on the change of office and how it runs once there is a new president. 
 Congress is more powerful than the president due to the act they overpower the Executive Branch.

Congress has the power to lay and collect taxes, regulate trade with states and foreign nations, establish laws and rules, regulate and coin money from states and foreign nations, declare war, establish roads and postal offices, raise and support the armies, the Navy and Militia, and make rules for the government and regulations of the land. Powers they have over the Executive Branch is to pass vetoed laws, reject the nominee for an government position, and can deny treaties the president has negotiated with other nations. Almost certainly, the founders intended Congress to have more important powers than the president. However, they placed many checks and balances on the legislature that have prevented absolute power in the hands of one

branch.   
Although the Congress has many powers, the president makes a huge impact on the United States. The President of the United States is the Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy, and Militia of several states. The president makes treaties, appoints Ambassadors and other Officers of the United States, fills up vacancies of the Senate, sign or veto legislation, and adjourn Congress. Although the President of the United States has influential powers, the Congress has a bigger impact on the U.S. "The Constitution divides the powers related to making war between the president and the Congress. It gives Congress the power to declare war. It gives the power of the purse", stated Samuel Alito, Associate Justice of Supreme Court. Many people could agree to disagree about who really is more powerful, although there are more signs pointing to Congress. 
The Executive Branch has certain limits on their power but has a very powerful position in our government to pass and enforce our laws. In the Executive Branch there is our president who is our commander-in-chief and who is the face of our government. Laws are being passed and enforced all because of our Executive Branch along with treaties being made with other countries. Our Executive Branch is a big part of the government that helps keep balance between all the powers of the United States.
