A president issues an order directing agencies to prioritize deportations, without new legislation. Which power or tool is shown?
A
A treaty power action, because binding domestic immigration rules can be created only through Senate-ratified treaties under Article II, Section 2.
B
An executive order, an informal directive to the executive branch grounded in Article II's duty to execute laws, though it cannot contradict statutes.
C
A legislative veto, allowing the president to rewrite statutory priorities unless Congress passes a resolution of disapproval by simple majority.
D
A judicial injunction, because the president can compel agencies only after courts issue orders interpreting the Constitution's immigration provisions.
E
A pardon power use, since deportation policy is controlled by granting pardons that automatically confer citizenship and cancel removal proceedings.
