Explore and explain at least two explicit presidential powers and at least one presidential functional power, also known as presidential expectation. Explicit powers originate in the Constitution. Where in the Constitution are they found?
Explain their meaning and how they have evolved over the past couple centuries. What are the limits put on those explicit powers? Functional powers/ expectations are not found in the Constitution, but the American public has come to demand/ need them from their presidents. One example of a functional power/ expectation (and you can’t use this in your essay) is that the president be the chief defender of democracy.
Explain at least one functional power/ presidential expectation. This essay is worth 10 points towards your final exam.
