1) = B) Administering the law is a function of the executive branch of government. Writing the laws and repealing of laws are functions of the legislative branch, and challenging legislation in court is a function of the judicial branch.

2) = D) Limiting the president's ability to commit troops to an undeclared war was the reason why Congress enacted the War Powers Resolution in 1973. The resolution, passed by Congress over President Nixon's veto, requires the President of the United States to notify Congress within 48 hours of committing armed forces to any military action. Armed forces cannot remain deployed for more than 60 days (plus a 30-day withdrawal period), unless Congress authorizes the use of military force or enacts a declaration of war.

3) = B) Executive agreements differ from treaties in that a treaty requires approval by the senate an executive agreement does not. In the 19th century, about half of the United States' international agreements were treaties and half executive agreements. In the 20th and now 21st cenutry, more than 90% of US international agreements have been created as executive agreements.

4) = A) The president's executive powers of clemency an example of checks and balances because clemency can overturn federal court decisions. So clemency functions as an instance of the executive branch challenging and changing a decision of the judicial branch.
