Name one power of the president.

What does this answer mean?

The president has many powers, and you only need to name one. USCIS accepts six: signs bills into law, vetoes bills, enforces laws, Commander in Chief of the military, chief diplomat, or appoints federal judges.

Most of these come from Article II of the Constitution. The president must make sure the laws are faithfully carried out, which is the power to enforce laws. The president commands the armed forces as Commander in Chief. The president makes treaties with the approval of two-thirds of the Senate, appoints ambassadors, and receives ambassadors from other countries, which is why the president is called the chief diplomat. The president also nominates federal judges, and the Senate must approve them.

Signing and vetoing bills come from Article I. When Congress passes a bill, the president can sign it into law or veto it.

Several of these powers are separate questions on the test, so learning them together helps. A short answer to remember is "signs bills into law."
