Select one of the formal or informal powers of the U.S. President from your text or the lists below. Explain how your selected power has played a role in expanding the powers of the modern presidency. Use one specific example of presidential actions.

Examples of formal powers granted to the president by the Constitution are:

• Appointing Supreme Court justices and cabinet heads.
• Vetoing legislation.

Examples of the president’s informal powers are:

• Issuing executive orders.
• Negotiating executive agreements.
• Claiming executive privilege.

Choose a Supreme Court case from any chapter in your text in which the court’s decision created or changed a policy or previous law in the United States. Give the name and date. In the discussion, identify your chosen case and explain whether you agree or disagree with this decision. Be sure to provide rationale for your response.
