Legal Question


Congress vs. the President

Can Congress pass a law which modifies powers granted to the President by the Constitution? For example, could Congress pass a law which clarified the President's specific powers as Commander In Chief?

I know that amendments can be passed. I am wondering about other legislation. Even if it would be challenged later, can Congress pass it, and would it be enforced in the meantime? Thanks!
