Which of the following is an inherent power of the president?
  1. Commander in Chief of the military
  2. Granting executive orders
  3. Preparing the federal budget
  4. Head of a political party
  5. Figurehead for the nation
Explanation
Answer: B - Granting executive orders is a power that is implied by the Constitution, although not actually stated in it, so it is an inherent power. Executive orders are instructions the president gives to bureaucracies. Another example of an inherent power is the president as chief negotiator with other countries because that responsibility is not expressly stated in the Constitution, but it is implied.
