Why is the president power to convene and dismiss congress very limited?

The president's power to convene and dismiss Congress is limited primarily by the U.S. Constitution, which grants Congress the authority to set its own schedule and determine its own sessions. Article II, Section 3 allows the president to call special sessions of Congress, but this is rarely done. Additionally, the separation of powers principle ensures that Congress operates independently of the executive branch, reinforcing legislative autonomy. This limitation helps maintain a balance of power within the federal government.


What is the difference between a term of congress and a session of congress?

How many special prosecuters appointed by Presidents?

I am not sure what you want to know. Presidents rarely if ever appoint a special prosecutor. The Attorney General and the entire Justice Department are under the President's control. I suppose the President might ask Congress for money to hire additional staff to conduct a special investigation. ( The term special prosecutor is used when Congress can not get the Justice Department to investigate or does not trust the Justice Department to conduct a fair and impartial investigation because the matter to be investigated is tied to the Justice Department and the President himself. )
