Answer

Answer:

One example of the president using constitutional power is meeting with the Secretary of Defense to discuss military strategy. In this meeting, the president is acting as the commander in chief of the armed forces, which is a duty specifically granted by the Constitution. However, this power is limited because the Constitution gives only Congress the power to officially declare war and provide funding for the military.
