The powers of the President of the United States consist of the powers listed in the Constitution and those derived from the influence and reputation of the President's Office.

Within the U.S. executive, the president has extensive powers to oversee national affairs and the work of the federal government. To this end, the President can announce rules, ordinances and decrees known as executive orders which are legally binding for the authorities and officers under the executive authority, but which do not require the approval of Congress, but which can be withdrawn by it. As commander-in-chief of the armed forces, the president also has the option of convening the state's national guards for federal purposes. In times of war, Congress often grants additional powers to guarantee the stability of the American economy and the security of the United States. Such actions cannot be read directly from the constitution, but have grown out of the reality of the constitution.   With the approval of the Senate, the President appoints the ministers and directors of many federal agencies involved in executive power. The President also has the task of submitting a budget to Congress for decision-making.
