From the first e-Activity, evaluate the relationship between Congress and the President and discuss two (2) reasons why the presidential duties may conflict with the role of Congress. Justify your response with examples.

The President duties will have the Congress and President fighting over power, especially when Trump is trying to take control over all departments and agencies. In the past with President Nixon attempt it failed. The Congress is setup to handle the departments and agencies. Amongst the Congress and President, they should come up with a plan that generates support from the President but is overseen or dictated through the Congress. Another conflict would be veto, an example of this is when The White House has issued a strong statement that not only rebukes the latest Republican attempt to repeal the ACA, but also promised to veto the bill, while Obama was in office. If the Congress and President are not aligned together on the same common goal it will always be a pull and tug in power struggle.
