If the President dies, resigns, is put out of office, or becomes permanently unable to work, the Vice President takes his place. If anything happens to the Vice President, Congress has fixed by law that the Cabinet members, in order, shall serve as President.

Paragraph 6. "In Case of the Removal of the President from Office, or of his Death, Resignation, or Inability to discharge the Powers and Duties of the said Office, the same shall devolve on the Vice President, and the Congress may by Law provide for the Case of Removal, Death, Resignation or Inability, both of the President and Vice President, declaring what Officer shall then act as President, and such Officer shall act accordingly, until the Disability be removed, or a President shall be elected."

The President is paid a fixed salary by our Government. The President is not permitted to take any pay from any other State or Nation, and his salary from the Government can not be increased or made smaller during the period for which he has been elected.

Paragraph 7. "The President shall, at stated Times, receive for his Services, a Compensation, which shall neither be increased nor diminished during the Period for which he shall have been elected, and he shall not receive within that Period any other Emolument from the United States, or any of them."

Before the President goes into Office he takes an oath that he will faithfully carry on the business of the United States, and do all that he can to keep, protect, and defend the CONSTITUTION of the United States.

Paragraph 8. "Before he enter on the Execution of his Office, he shall take the following Oath or Affirmation:—' I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my Ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States." "

Section 2 defines the powers of the PRESIDENT (things he has a right to do).

The President is Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy, and of the Militia of the States when they are called into the service of the United States.

The President has ten men to help him, called "Secretaries." These men are President's helpers, and they make reports to the President whenever he asks for them.

The executive branch of the United States Government is divided into ten departments. Each department has a Secretary as a manager. These sec

retaries are appointed by the President and confirmed by the Senate. When they sit together with the President, they are called his Cabinet. The

The President can delay punishment or free a person who has done a wrong against the United States, except when that person has been impeached.

"Section 2. The President shall be Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy of the United States, and of the Militia of the several States when called into the actual Service of the United States; he may require the opinion in writing, of the principal Officer in each of the executive Departments, upon any subject relating to the Duties of their respective Offices, and he shall have Power to Grant Reprieves and Pardons for Offenses against the United States, except in Cases of Impeachment.”

The President with the advice and consent of two-thirds (3) of the Senate, may make treaties or agreements with foreign countries. The President also appoints, with the consent of the Senate

(1) American representatives, ambassadors, and other public ministers and consuls to foreign countries,

(2) Judges to the United States Supreme Court, the highest court in the United States,

(3) Other United States officers that Congress has not already provided for.

The President also chooses some officers without the consent of the Senate. In these cases Congress has not desired the President to obtain the consent of the Senate.

Paragraph 2. "He shall have Power, by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, to make Treaties, provided two-thirds of the Senators present concur; and he shall nominate, and by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, shall appoint Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Consuls, Judges of the supreme Court and all other Officers of the United States, whose Appointments are not herein otherwise provided for, and which shall be established by Law: but the Congress may by Law vest the Appointment of such inferior Officers, as they think proper, in the President alone, in the Courts of Law, or in the Heads of Departments.

If an office is left empty while the Senate is not meeting, the President may choose an officer to serve until the Senate meets.

Paragraph 3. "The President shall have Power to fill up all Vacancies that may happen during the Recess of the Senate, by granting Commissions which shall expire at the End of their next Session."
