Branches of government

To the editor:

Unitary Executive Theory (UET) posits that Article II of the US Constitution establishes a ‘unitary executive,’ concentrating executive power in the President.

The ‘Take Care Clause’ in Article II Section 3 states that the President ‘shall take care that the laws be faithfully executed,’ mandating that the President execute laws passed by Congress. This clause, however, is subject to varying interpretations regarding the scope of presidential discretion in interpreting and implementing laws, a key point of contention.
