Which describes how congress affects the president’s abilities to grant pardons and appoint cabinet members?

Article II, Section 2, paragraph 2 states that the President is authorized to appoint Ambassadors, Judges of the Court of Appeal, Ministers, and other United States Officials while Congress may by law appoint lower Officers. It can be concluded that the President was given broad appointment power, the power not given to the President was exercised by Congress.

So the right answer to the question above is The Senate approves cabinet members but does not grant clemency.

EXPLANATION

Although the Senate may elect not to confirm the President’s appointment, Congress cannot limit or eliminate the President's power to make an appointment.

In Morrison v. Olson, 487 A. 654 (1988), the Supreme Court's role is to clarify the boundaries between the so-called principal officers and the inferior officers. In order to get the limit that the principal officers, included in principal officers category are cabinet members, federal judges, and ambassadors.

One important example of the position of "inferior officer" is the Independent Counsel (special prosecutor), which indicates that Congress can have the authority to appoint an Independent Counsel in the judiciary, confirming there is no partiality when a problem arises in the executive branch. Whereas examples of inferior officers include district court clerks and federal election overseers.
