Multistate Bar Examination Practice Question

The 'take care' clause, found in Article II, Section 3 of the United States Constitution, requires the president to ensure that federal laws are executed and implemented faithfully. This clause establishes the president's constitutional duty to enforce laws passed by Congress. This obligation does not grant the president legislative powers, nor does it allow for discretion in choosing which laws to enforce. Incorrect answers might confuse this clause with separate concepts such as legislative functions or the power to veto laws, which are distinct powers of the executive branch.
