Presidential power.

The three powers that the Constitution gives the president is:
1. To be in charge of the armed services.
2. Make appointments to the offices.
3. To convene the congress.

I could not find in the Constitution where it give the president implied powers. I feel that after Bush did this, that it is not right. When a president uses executive orders he is working around the law which is manipulative. Obama in his campaign said he wanted to stop what Bush was doing, but after getting in office, he started following Bush's footsteps. This is why the Constitution made the checks and balances law, in order for everything that passes to be fair.
