the use of executive power
•the take care clause
• the Great Society program
• the War Powers Act

Answer 1

The correct answer is the take care clause.

The take care clause is found in Article II, Section 3 of the U.S. Constitution, which mandates that the president "shall take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed." This clause is often cited as a source of the inherent powers of the presidency, allowing the president to act in ways that are not explicitly outlined in the Constitution, but are deemed necessary to execute the law.
