Section 2 : Civilian Power over Military, Cabinet, Pardon Power, Appointments
The President is the Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy and the Militia of the states when called into service. He can ask the opinion of his cabinet (people he chooses from various departments) on how to do things. He can grant pardons for offenses against the US, except with impeachment.
He has the power to make Treaties, if 2/3 of the Senators present agree. Also with the consent of the Senate, he can appoint ambassadors, other public Ministers and consuls, Judges of the Supreme Court, and all other Officers of the U.S. whose positions are unfilled. The Congress by law may appoint inferior officers. The President has the power to fill vacancies that occur during the recess of the Senate, but their commission expires the the end of the next session of Congress.
