Presidents have many formal powers, such as commanding the military and granting pardons and reprieves. In the Constitution, there is a clause called the "Take Care Clause" that allows the president to enforce the law and perform other executive duties with flexibility.

The president also appointed department heads, negotiated treaties, appointed judges, and implemented laws when necessary. As the nation's commander-in-chief, the president's role was to confirm his power.
