he can veto once\ncongress gives the bill to the president if he says yes, the bill becomes a law\nif he says no, it is vetoed and goes back to congress.\nthere they can revise and do whatever. if they don't revise, i think if 2/3s of congress votes yes, the veto is overrided and the bill becomes a law

Once elected and after Congress has certified the Electoral votes, a President of The United States may only be removed from office by Impeachment. The right to impeach public officials is secured by the U.S. Constitution in Article I, Sections 2 and 3, which discuss the procedure, and in Article II, Section 4, which indicates the grounds for impeachment: "the President, Vice President, and all civil officers of the United States shall be removed from office on impeachment for, and conviction of, treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors." Removing an official from office requires two steps: (1) a formal accusation, or impeachment, by the House of Representatives, and (2) a trial and conviction by the Senate. Impeachment requires a majority vote of the House; conviction is more difficult, requiring a two-thirds vote by the Senate. The vice president presides over the Senate proceedings in the case of all officials except the president, whose trial is presided over by the chief justice of the Supreme Court. Only two U.S. presidents have been impeached: Andrew Johnson, the seventeenth chief executive, and your favorite, William J. Clinton, the forty-second.

The president of the United States of America.  All he has to do is label you an "Enemy combatant of the United States of America".  He can do this with the stroke of a pen, under secrecy, and there isn't anything that can stop him or reverse his decision if he chooses to do so.

There is no provision in the Constitution for a recall of the President.  The only recourse against a President is impeachment which is done by the Congress.  In order for the public to have the President removed, they would need to pressure their Congresspersons to impeach him.

A politician that is out of power because his party is now in the minority or because he was replaced by someone of the opposite party is called a lame duck, because they are shot and unable to fly (metaphorically speaking).  The current Speaker of the House is a lame duck because a Democrat will be replacing him in January; any attempts at last minute legislation by him will be blocked and postponed until the next Congress.  The President may become a lame duck if the Democratic Congress choose to block any and all of his proposals and actions (which they are entitled to do, but probably won't--they will be satisfied just curtailing him a little bit).\n\nI hope that helps.

At the federal level:\n\nAll executive branch members except for the President and Vice President.  If the vice presidency is vacant, the president may appoint a vice president under the 25th Amendment.\n\nAll judicial branch members (justices/judges).\n\nSenators and Representatives are traditionally elected, though state governors can fill Senate vacancies by appointment.  ALL Representatives are elected, without exception.

All pieces of legislation (bills) must be signed by the president to be inacted as a law.  If a president vetoes a bill, the Congress can simply override the veto by a two-thirds vote in both the House (290) and Senate (67).  The Congress raises funds through taxation.

The answer is Mr President.

I think only the President of the Senate is mentioned (the Vice President of the United States) along with the President pro tem.  The rest of the officers are left up to the Senate as it is given power to make its own rules.

Basically, the government can do whatever it wants except what is explicitly forbidden by the constitution. And even then, they can ratify the constitution. Government also gets away with doing things if nobody says anything about it and the Supreme Court doesn't notice or is willing to rule in their favor.\n\nBut if you're looking for an answer about which branch has what powers, congress makes laws, the supreme court ensures laws and acts of government are constitutional, and the president has the power to act in an emergency and veto potential laws he or potentially she disagrees with.\n\nIn introductory political science courses they say the president enforces laws, but I think that doesn't hold up in reality. When was the last time you saw the president enforce anything?

Answer - who ever gets to it first. The sitting president can nominate immediately, but it must be put to a vote of the Senate. So unless the Senate holds an emergency session and confirms the nominee prior to the swearing in of the new president, it is extremely unlikely.\n\nIf the sitting president nominated someone, then the presidency changes, then the new president can withdraw the nominee. Technically, the office of the president makes the nomination, not the person president. So, a nominee could survive changing presidents. It is much more likely that they would be withdrawn.\n\nThe most probable scenario is that the sitting president will simply let the opportunity pass, as it would do him no good to try to nominate someone so close to the transfer of the presidency. In addition, senators could choose to decide to filibuster the nominee, thus delaying the confirming vote until after the new president assumes the office.

seperation of powers.  they tried to make a balence between the presidency and congress to guarantee that the president wouln't become a king and the people could get him out if he tried\n  or think of congress as the other president, nothing will get done without both powers

Start with Article II, Section 4 of the Constitution:\n"The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors."\n\nIf Congress feels the need under that Section, the the House first brings the charges.  There are various things like an independent counsel and so forth.  The general gist is that they eventually vote.  If there's a majority for, then the impeachment happens.  This is what happened with Clinton.  He got impeached, but that isn't enough.  It's similar to a grand jury deciding if there is enough evidence.\n\nIf there is, the case moves to the Senate.  There, it's like a typical trial with witnesses, cross examinations, etc.  If the Senate has a 2/3rd vote for, then it's a conviction and the person is removed from office.

Executive authority (powers) are delegated in the Constitution of the United States.  Primarily these delegated powers (in terms of the executive branch are to the President of the United States.\n\nThe Vice President is also President of the Senate, but this has little power unless a vote in the Senate is tied, then the Vice President (as President of the Senate) can cast the deciding vote.\n\nIn line of accession he can replace the president if the President dies, is incapacitated, or impeached.  \n\nOther than that he has no real power.  \n\nAny advice he provides or jobs he does, are at the direction of the President.  The President can shut the Vice President off from any real contact as to what is going on, at any time.\n\nWhile in the past Vice Presidents have traditionally more or less stayed out of things and remote, there has been a growing trend for the President to provide more tasks for the Vice President, but they are always under the thumb of the President.\n\nThe relationship between President Bush and Vice President Cheney go back many years and part of that relationship is one where the Vice President advises the President far more than has typically occurred.  However, the Vice President is only one adviser among many.\n\nIn short, the premise of your questions is wrong.  The President is in charge and has all of the authority relative to the Vice President.

It is possible but unlikely. If Cheney steps down he will continue to function in his current role with or without the title of Vice President so there is nothing to be gained if he does leave.
