Question 29 • Principles of American Democracy

One of president’s powers is the ability to

Answer
A
approve pardons.
B
confirm judges.
C
appoint senators.
D
appoint mayors.

Explanation

The president has the power to grant pardons for federal offenses. Choice C is the intended answer, although “grant pardons” is more accurate than “approve pardons.” The other choices describe powers the president does not have: senators and mayors are not appointed by the president, and the Senate confirms judges.
