2. Pocket veto: If the president does not sign a bill within ten days of receiving it (excluding Sundays), it automatically becomes law without the president's signature. However, if Congress adjourns before the ten days have passed, the president can pocket veto the bill, which prevents it from becoming law.
3. Impoundment: The president can refuse to spend money that has been appropriated by Congress. However, Congress can override an impoundment by passing a new law that explicitly orders the president to spend the money.
4. Executive orders: The president can issue executive orders, which are directives that have the force of law. However, executive orders cannot override laws passed by Congress.
5. Regulatory power: The president can issue regulations through federal agencies, which can have a significant impact on the economy and society. However, regulations can be challenged in court, and Congress can also pass laws that override regulations.
6. Control over the bureaucracy: The president appoints the heads of federal agencies and can control the way that agencies interpret and implement laws. However, Congress can also investigate agencies and pass laws that limit their power.
7. Political power: The president has a bully pulpit and can use the media to build public support for their agenda. This can help the president to influence the actions of Congress.
8. Legislative initiatives: The president can propose legislation to Congress and work with lawmakers to build support for their proposals. However, Congress is not obligated to pass the president's proposals.
9. Judicial appointments: The president appoints federal judges, who have a significant role in interpreting and applying the law. However, judges are independent and can make decisions that are not in line with the president's views.
10. Emergency powers: In times of crisis, the president can exercise emergency powers that give them broad authority to take action without the express permission of Congress. However, these powers can be challenged in court and can be limited by Congress.
