Presentation transcript:

He decided instead to turn the decision over to Congress. WHY? What happened?

His “checks and balances” over the other two branches of government.

 I can identify and explain how the President uses his legislative and judicial powers.  I can determine the central idea and supporting details of a text.  I can analyze differing points of view and form an opinion on a historical event.

The Veto Power  All legislation passed by Congress is sent to the President for approval.  If the President disapproves of a bill, he can veto it. That veto can only be overturned by a two-thirds vote of both houses of Congress.

Recommending Legislation  The Constitution provides that the President shall report to Congress on the state of the Union and recommend necessary legislation.  This power is often called the message power. Address Address Special Session  According to Article II, Section 3 of the Constitution, only the President can call a Congress into special session after they have adjourned or are on recess.

Appointment Power  The President appoints all judges of the judicial branch with Senate approval. Appointing Judges There are no official requirements for judges/justices listed in the Constitution. What qualities/experience do you think the president looks for when appoint someone a judge?

 The Constitution gives the President the power to “...grant reprieves and pardons for offenses against the United States, except in cases of impeachment.” — Article II, Section 2, Clause 1 The President has four powers that can impact the outcome of court decisions.  A pardon is legal forgiveness for a crime.  Amnesty – a pardon to a group of people.  A reprieve is the postponement of the execution of a sentence.  Commutation – reduce the length of a sentence or amount of a fine Should President Obama grant a pardon to JackJack JohnsonJohnson?
