The Executive Branch

The United States Constitution, Article 2, The Executive Branch, Section 2, Clause 2
"He shall have Power, by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, to make Treaties, provided two thirds of the Senators present concur; and he shall nominate, and by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, shall appoint Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Consuls, Judges of the supreme Court, and all other Officers of the United States, whose Appointments are not herein otherwise provided for, and which shall be established by Law: but the Congress may by Law vest the Appointment of such inferior Officers, as they think proper, in the President alone, in the Courts of Law, or in the Heads of Departments."

In this picture, we see the 44th President of the United States, Barack Obama, signing a new legislation. Although in this point in time the specific legislation does not matter, he is signing a bill about homosexual protection. We see the President using his presidential powers by approving legislation that was passed by the Legislative Branch. This is related to the constitution because in the United States Constitution, it clearly outlines the powers of the president as well as the powers of other branches, and here we see the president assuming his job. The picture can be used not only to show the president accomplishing his presidential duties but also to show a little bit of checks and balances. The president can either veto or approve this new legislation when the Legislative branch gives it to him but they can overturn his decision with a two-thirds vote or choose to impeach him if they suspect him in wrongdoing and not working for the welfare of the country.
Ever since the installment of the articles there have been many people who believe that there should not be one certain individual to chose what legislation to be passed, it has been used by some presidents to leave the country in the position it was in, which sometimes was bad like reconstruction under president Andrew Johnson. With new people in office, should the president still have the power to veto important legislation?
