The powers of the president are set forth in the U.S. Constitution under Article II, Sec. 2, 3, and 5. While there are Clauses enumerated within the Constitution subsections, none of these grant any additional powers. They only stipulate specific duties. Further, the Constitution does absolve the president from impeachment by the House, conviction by the Senate, or declaration of unfitness by the 25 Amendment. Also, once the president ‘s term end, all presidential powers end.
