The constitutional powers of the president, as outlined in the U.S. Constitution, include serving as the commander-in-chief of the armed forces, appointing federal officials and judges, negotiating treaties (with Senate approval), and ensuring that laws are faithfully executed. Non-constitutional powers, often referred to as implied or informal powers, include the ability to issue executive orders, engage in executive agreements, and exercise veto power over legislation. These non-constitutional powers have evolved over time through precedent and practice, allowing the president to adapt to changing political and social contexts.
