Failing to enforce an existing federal statute directly violates the President's duty under the "take care" clause to faithfully execute the laws of the United States. Issuing executive orders within the scope of existing laws is an appropriate use of executive authority. Appointing officials with differing views pertains to the president's appointment powers but does not interfere with the execution of laws. Negotiating treaties without Senate approval relates to treaty-making powers but does not inherently breach the obligation to faithfully execute existing laws.
