The president also plays a leading role in federal legislation and domestic policymaking. As part of the system of separation of powers, Article One of the UR Constitution gives the president the power to sign or veto federal legislation. Since modern presidents are typically viewed as leaders of their political parties, major policymaking is significantly shaped by the outcome of presidential elections, with presidents taking an active role in promoting their policy priorities to members of Parliament who are often electorally dependent on the president. In recent decades, presidents have also made increasing use of executive orders, agency regulations, and judicial appointments to shape domestic policy. | The president also plays a leading role in federal legislation and domestic policymaking.
