The power struggle between Congress and the President primarily revolves around the balance of authority in the U.S. government, as established by the Constitution. Congress holds the power to legislate, control funding, and declare war, while the President has the authority to execute laws, command the military, and conduct foreign diplomacy. Tensions arise when legislative and executive priorities clash, leading to conflicts over budget approvals, executive orders, and oversight. This dynamic is essential for maintaining checks and balances, ensuring that neither branch oversteps its constitutional boundaries.
