Barack Obama has won the 2008 presidential election!
The outgoing president, George W. Bush has offered to show the new president some of the basics of the job.
President Bush is explaining to President Obama all the power he has. The first thing he explains is the power to veto. The President has the power to pass a law or veto it. When you veto a bill it means you are not allowing it to become a law because you don't think it is helpful to the country.
You now have the ability to pass a law or deny it.
What does it mean if I deny it?
It means you are vetoing the bill. This means you are not in favor of it and won't allow it to become a law.
Now that you're the president, you have the power to commute any sentences for federal crimes.
So even if someone is found guilty of a crime in court, I have the power to free them and give them another chance?
Yes, by doing so you are using your presidential power to pardon.
You have been suggested to me as someone who may be deserving of clemency by the Department of the Pardon Attorney, a Department of Justice group whose job it is to suggest pardons to me, the president. After reviewing your case for myself, I have decided that you're ready to re-enter the free world and I would like to give you a second chance by commuting your sentence.
Thank you, Mr. President.
The president is also the commander in chief.
What does this mean for me?
It means that you are now in charge of the army and the navy. You have the ability to deploy them whenever you feel the need.
