The President has the authority to appoint officials, including federal judges and cabinet members, as granted by Article II of the Constitution. This power is subject to Senate confirmation, which is part of the checks and balances system ensuring no single branch has unchecked power. While the President commands the military and negotiates treaties, legislative powers such as declaring war and passing laws remain the authority of Congress.
