Which article outlines the powers of the President?

• A. Article I
• B. Article III
• C. Article II
• D. Article IV

Answer: (C)

The powers of the President are outlined in Article II of the Constitution. This article establishes the executive branch and explains what the President can do and what responsibilities come with the role. It covers actions like enforcing laws, acting as Commander in Chief, appointing federal officers and judges (with Senate approval), negotiating treaties (also with Senate consent), vetoing or signing legislation, and calling Congress into session. It also sets the President’s eligibility, term, and the process for impeachment and succession. Seeing which article covers the President helps distinguish the powers of the executive from the legislative branch (Article I) and the judicial branch (Article III), as well as the relations among states (Article IV).
