Answer 1

The correct response is:

giving the State of the Union and issuing executive orders

As the chief legislator, the president influences legislation primarily through these two tools. The State of the Union address is an opportunity for the president to outline their legislative agenda and priorities to Congress and the public. Issuing executive orders allows the president to direct the operations of the federal government and can influence how laws are implemented.
