What violated the tradition that presidents controlled their cabinets?
Tenure of Office Act of 1867 made it illegal for the President to fire a cabinet member without the approval of Congress. It was used as grounds for impeaching President Andrew Johnson. It was later declared to be unconstitutional.
Should the president have power to make decisions without congresses approval?
The President should and must have power to make certain decision without Congressional approval, just as Congress has the right to do things without the President's approval. If Congress had to approve everything a President did, Congress would have full authority over both the legislative and executive power of governmant, which would eliminate the concept of checks and balances of the three branches of government that the Constitution sets up.
Why is the presidents power of commander in chief considered to be without limit?
The presidential powers of Commander-in-Chief are not without limit. The President can not declare war, must get approval for money spent on war or the military and Congress can stop a war at any-time and also impeach the President if he/she goes beyond their allowed powers. Congress can also stop a war at any time and even if the President invokes the war measures acts they can override him with a two-thirds majority of both houses.
If a president believes that emergency conditions require a quick decision regarding an agreement with another country he can make a decision without Senate approval via .?
No. He still needs approval from congress.
Does congress limit the presidents power to spend federal money?
Yes, Congress does have the power to limit the federal moneys that are spent by the President of the United States. The president must ask Congress to fund events such as wars that the country takes part in.
