Answer 1

Answer: Inherent powers are the (A) powers not explicitly stated in the Constitution.

Explanation: Inherent powers are powers that the President holds but that are not explicitly stated in the Constitution. In relation to this issue, the United States Constitution simply states that the President must "take care that the laws be faithfully executed". Some of the President's inherent powers are giving executive orders and enforcing a law. Furthermore, besides the President, the Congress also holds inherent powers.
