The constitutional provision that has been used to justify the inherent powers of the president is the "Take Care Clause" of the Constitution. This clause is found in Article II, Section 3, and it states that the president "shall take care that the laws be faithfully executed." This power has been interpreted to give the president inherent authority to take actions necessary to fulfill his or her responsibilities and obligations as the head of the executive branch, even if those powers are not explicitly stated in the Constitution.
