The President of the United States is often one of the most powerful people in any country. But, why does America’s Constitution enumerate the president’s formal powers? The answer to this question is that America was founded on liberal principles. These liberal principles are based upon a series of ideas and values which have been debated for centuries. One such value is that power should be decentralized among many different parts, or branches, of government so as to prevent dictatorship from arising.
The Constitution enumerates the president’s cannot use his executive order abilities to create new legislation such as tax reforms or healthcare reform without going through Congress first for approval before enacting them into law – even if he has a majority support among Americans across many polls on these issues! Though sometimes presidents find it difficult to get Congress on their side, it is still important that they try.
This document also enumerates the president’s powers such as declaring a state of emergency or engaging in diplomacy with foreign nations – but these are not unlimited either!
The Constitution does not give the president all-powerful abilities and instead limits him from abusing power by making sure he cannot use his executive order authority without Congressional approval first. The president has only been given very limited formal powers which can be used for specific purposes so as to prevent dictatorship from arising. This way America remains democratic and preserves its liberal values while protecting against abuses of power.
A goal of this post is to help readers understand why these limitations exist for the presidency and how we can keep them in place.
