The president is the commander-in-chief over all military powers in the US.
He consults with the military chiefs of staff but he is the commander and they serve at his will. Congress determines what the military will be and appropriates the funding for it.
The president shares his military powers with congress. Congress has the power to declare war, but after the Vietnam War the War Powers Resolution was agreed to and the president has the power to send some troops for a limited time.
The President of the United States shares power with the Congress, which itself is divided into the House and the Senate. The President does not declare war; he requests a 'declaration of war' from the Congress, who then vote 'yes' or 'no.'
executive branch
Congress
No branch of government has ultimate control. Thankfully we have something called separation of powers (checks and balances). Example Congress legislative branch make laws. the president executive branch enforces them. the courts the judicial branch decides whether the law are constitutional. They interpret the law. Sadly over the years congress and given powers and extended the powers to the president.
The enumerated powers are those powers given to the Legislative Branch of government, which is Congress.
The executive branch is meant to carry out the powers of federal government...this branch is headed by the President...The legislative branch is the one meant to make the laws...:)
separation of powers.
Yes, the president is part of the executive branch of the US government. Thus the below. * Executive Branch - President and Vice President * Judicial Branch - Supreme Court * Legislative Branch - Congress which is divided into two parts, the House of Representatives and the Senate.
The President can not exercise any judicial powers. He is the head of the Executive Branch of Government and not a member of the Judicial Branch.

"Separation of powers," Means that each branch of government is independent
The President, within the executive branch, has broad powers. He manages the workings of our federal government as well as national affairs.
The Constitution
In the government: the executive branch (president), legislative branch (house and senate), and judicial branch (supreme court), all have powers that balance that powers of the other branches out, so that one of them can't gain too much power.
The government's functions are divided among three branches: the legislative branch that makes the laws (Congress), the executive branch that carries out the laws (president), and the judicial branch that interprets the laws (courts). This division is known as the separation of powers. In addition, under the system of checks and balances, the powers of one branch of government are limited by the powers given to another branch. Congress makes laws, but the president can veto legislation. Congress can override a president's veto with a two-thirds vote of both houses (a check on a check). While the president appoints judges to the Supreme Court, the Senate can reject an appointee through its power to give "advice and consent."
The enumerated powers are those powers given to the Legislative Branch of government, which is Congress.
The executive branch is the President of the United States. He is also the commander-in-chief of the US military. He has the right to implement and oversee the law that legislative branch passes. He also has the right to appoint military leaders and declare war.
the president has authority over the military but congress holds the power to declare war so if the president and congress don't agree on the war topic there can be issues(:
The Supreme Court also called the Judicial Branch of the government (The House of Representatives is part of the executive branch which the president is also in)
No, in an autocracy a single person has unlimited powers, and no president of the United States has such powers. The president is head of the executive branch and the federal government is set up as a system of checks and balances. The judicial and legislative branches work with the executive branch to run the federal government.
