Question 2 • * HSA 26-27 US Government

Which is an example of a presidential power that has no clear limitation?

Answer
A
selecting a cabinet
B
making a treaty
C
appointing ambassadors
D
granting pardons

Explanation

The Constitution gives the president broad authority to grant pardons for federal offenses, with the stated exception that pardons cannot be used in cases of impeachment. Selecting cabinet members, making treaties, and appointing ambassadors each involve Senate approval or another check. Therefore, granting pardons is the example of a presidential power with no clear limitation beyond the constitutional exception.
