A king possesses the powers that his subjects give him (or maybe tolerate in him).
Most extant kings are "Constitutional Monarchs" which means that an elected government passes laws which the monarch then signs. Generally this type of monarch does not have the veto power that is possessed by an American president. He is the head of state, but this is a purely symbolic thing.

Absolute Power in all sector of life was key. This power allowed French monarchs to portray themselves as practically gods. Louis XIV was called the "Sun King" because of his immense power. The Kings of France held absolute authority, but they did not govern alone. The task of running a nation was too much for one man. As a result, French monarchs would often appoint ministers to advise him and take care of the details that the King did not have time or interest for. These men were nobles and members of old, rich French families that were looked upon favorably by the crown. Ministers for War, Finances, and Trade were common. French monarchs also had the absolute power to tax. Unlike in England, where the right to tax was restricted by an elected parliament, French monarchs could tax as they wished. However, this did not always work out well because the burdens of taxation fell mostly on the poor working class. Clergy and the aristocracy were exempt from most taxes. Additionally, French kings always spent more than they were bringing in from taxes, so an immense national debt resulted, and would eventually come to head with civil unrest during the 1780's
