The ordinance power of the president allows him to create laws when immediate action is required and Congress is not in session. This is meant for emergency situations only, and most lawmaking should be left to the Congress to ensure that checks and balances are in place.

Under the Constitution, Congress is tasked with making laws as a duty of their Legislative Branch. However, if Congress is not in session and immediacy is required, the President has the right to enact an ordinance. An ordinance is a law that could introduce changes to legislation.
