Can the president change a law?

Answer 1

The job of making laws lies in the Legislative Branch of Government. The House of Representatives and Senate introduce ideas or bills and then they are voted on in each house. If the bills pass then they become law. They are sent to the president for his signature. If he doesn't like the law then he can veto the bill and then it goes back to congress for another vote. The president's job it to enforce the laws and the constitution.

Answer 2

A president can alter a law passed by congress to his own means by issuing a "signing statement" where he announces his conditions to a bill or piece of legislation and then enacts it. The president may also enact an "executive order" that can have as much inpact as a law in many cases.

Answer 3

The president cannot make law. The president can make an executive order. The status of the order depends on what the order is. For example, as the comander in chief, the president can make military orders (short of declaring war) without congressional approval.

Answer 4

NO, ABSOLUTELY NOT! Executive orders may only be given in the process of executing and enforcing Federal Laws that have been passed by Congress and either signed by a President or legally made law over a President's veto, or in exercising another Presidential power granted by the Constitution, such as in his role as Commander in Chief of the U.S. Armed Forces.
