This overview examines key aspects of presidential authority, legislative influence, and executive actions in the U.S. The dynamics of partisan support for the president in Congress and trends in speech-making are explored alongside the use of the veto, including the pocket veto and line-item veto, which was deemed unconstitutional. The significance of executive orders, executive privilege, and the impeachment process are analyzed, highlighting the essential qualities and challenges of presidential character and declining popularity across the first term.
