The President is the head of the United States Government's Executive Branch. The Executive powers are primarily defined in Article II of the Constitution and include the power to Pardon people convicted of federal offenses. Additional definitions of the Executive Branch exist in the Twelfth Amendment, the Twentieth Amendment, the Twenty-Second Amendment, and the Twenty-Fifth Amendment.
Presidential succession is governed both by the Constitution and by federal law.
