- 2.3.1The President's Six Dutiesnot yet published Article II, Section 3 imposes six mandatory duties — reporting, recommending, convening/adjourning, receiving ambassadors, faithful execution, and commissioning — that bind the presidency to accountability, visibility, and law-fidelity. The Take Care Clause carries the structural load: it is the provision that prevents the executive from becoming autonomous. The primary diagnostic strain is the unresolved enforcement boundary between faithful execution and presidential non-enforcement of laws the President considers unconstitutional.
