Chapter 6: The Presidency as an Institution The dual nature of the presidency refers to how the power and role of the president is always changing. On one hand, the president has specific powers laid out in the constitution. On the other hand, the president loses some powers, gains others, and has his role changing. The president has always had the power to make treaties, grant pardons, and nominate the judiciary as well as other public officials. Over time presidents have been able to increase their power by taking control during war or another time of crisis. No the American president is not too powerful. Whenever any president attempts to make a grab for too much power, congress or the Supreme Court can shoot him down. This prevents any president from becoming too powerful.

President

The War of 1812 was a 32-month military conflict between the United States and the British Empire and their allies which resulted in no territorial change, but a resolution of many issues which remained from the American War of Independence. The United States declared war in 1812 for several reasons, including trade restrictions brought about by Britain's ongoing war with France, the impressment of American merchant sailors into the Royal Navy, British support of American Indian tribes against American expansion, outrage over insults to national honor after humiliations on the high seas, and possible American desire to annex Canada
