Question:

All of the following are formal or informal sources of presidential power except

a. presidential authority to raise revenue

b. presidential access to the media

c. precedents set during previous administrations

d. public support

e. the constitution

Answer:

All the mentioned options are formal or informal sources of Presidential power except the Presidential authority to raise revenue.

Explanation:

The powers to raise a revenue is not given to the presidential authority. This is because raising funds occurs when a bill is passed from both the houses of the parliament. A direct implementation of the raise in revenue in a democratic country by a single person or authority would be a sign of dictatorship.

Living in the world's largest democracy, a single raise in any tax or revenue is gone through two houses of the parliament and then it is approved by the government. It is a chain that works and not a single person or authority.
