What Is the Executive Branch

Audition: What Is the Executive Branch
of the U.S. Government - History

2.

The head of the state is the president. The President’s powers and qualifications reflect
the Constitutional clauses intended to prevent the development of the presidential
government while providing for strong national leadership. The President must be a
natural-born citizen, at least thirty-five years old, and have been a resident of the USA
for at least fourteen years. He is elected separately from Congress and cannot be
removed from office by a vote of no-confidence. According to the Constitution a
president's office is limited to two terms of 4 years each. It also describes how a
president can be removed from office (impeachment procedure).The president may only
be impeached if he commits crimes in office. Presidential duties are stated in the
Constitution, delegated by Congress. The most important extra constitutional duties are
acting as chief of state and party leader. The President became the nation’s ceremonial
head of state by default, because the Constitution provides no other office for that
purpose. He became the national leader of his party as parties developed into the
organizers of the nation’s political life and the presidency became increasingly powerful.
The President’s popularity with voters can often affect the success of his party’s
candidates for other offices. He is the administrative head of the nation because the
Constitution states that ‘the executive power shall be vested in the President’. The
Constitution names the President as commander in chief, making him the highest
ranking officer in the armed services, but gives Congress the power to declare war. The
powers of the presidency are formidable, but not without limitations. The president often
proposes legislation to Congress. The president can also forbid any bill passed by
Congress. The veto can be overridden by a 2/3 vote in both the Senate and House of
Representatives. The president has the authority to appoint federal judges as vacancies
occur, including members of the Supreme Court. All such court appointments are subject
to confirmation by the Senate.
