b. A powerful president who seeks to lead Congress, connects with the American public, and presides over an enormous executive branch.
c. A powerful president who seeks to lead the Supreme Court, connects with the American public, and presides over a small executive branch.
d. A weak president who seeks to lead the Supreme Court, connects with the American public, and presides over an enormous legislative branch.

Answer 1

A

Step-by-step explanation:

The answer is choice A because the government is split into three branches, with each branch being separate and distinct. Since the president is the head of the executive branch, he cannot lead Congress, which is part of the legislative branch.
