- Sign a nuclear weapons agreement with Russia — Treaty-making power (Article II, §2) — the president negotiates and signs treaties; treaties require Senate advice and consent (2/3) to be ratified. Some international arms pacts can also be concluded as executive agreements without Senate ratification, but formal treaties need Senate approval.
- Send the Army Corps of Engineers to a disaster area — Executive/administrative and emergency powers (Take Care Clause, plus statutory authority such as the Stafford Act) — the president directs federal agencies and can declare emergencies or disasters to authorize deployment of federal resources (including the Army Corps).
- Select a new Supreme Court Justice — Appointment/nomination power (Article II, §2) — the president nominates Justices, who take office only after Senate confirmation (advice and consent).
