Which one of the enumerated powers of Congress do you think is most to the broad but vague "executive powers" of the president?
I don't understand what this question means. Can anyone help?
I don't understand the question either. I think one or more words have been omitted.
most what?
The question is asking you to go back and reread the Constitution about the powers of Congress. Then decide which of these relates to the president's "executive powers."
Sorry, it should say: Which one of the enumerated powers of Congress do you think is most closely related to the broad but vague "executive powers" of the president?
Certainly! The question is comparing the "executive powers" of the president to one of the enumerated powers of Congress. Enumerated powers are the specific powers granted to Congress by the United States Constitution.
The term "executive powers" refers to the authority and responsibilities given to the President of the United States. These powers include the ability to execute and enforce laws, grant pardons, make treaties (with the Senate's approval), appoint federal officials, and act as the commander-in-chief of the armed forces.
To answer the question and determine which congressional power is most similar to executive powers, we need to examine the enumerated powers of Congress. Some examples of Congress' powers include the authority to coin money, regulate interstate commerce, establish post offices, declare war, and make laws necessary and proper for carrying out their other powers.
Among these enumerated powers, one that closely aligns with executive powers is the power to declare war. While the president is granted the authority to act as the commander-in-chief, Congress holds the power to formally declare war. Both powers require decision-making and exerting control over military action, making them fairly similar in nature.
Therefore, the power to declare war is most closely related to the broad but vague "executive powers" of the president.
