The ultimate power of Congress over the President is that of impeachment or removal of the elected President through a House vote, a Senate trial, and a Senate vote.
The threat of using this power has had major political ramifications in the cases of Presidents Andrew Johnson, Richard Nixon, and Bill Clinton.
The President makes around 2,000 executive appointments, including members of the Cabinet and ambassadors, which must be approved by the Senate; the President can also issue executive orders and pardons, and has other Constitutional duties, among them the requirement to give a State of the Union address to Congress once a year.

The nominalization algorithms described in [Hull & Gomez, 1996] were tested to determine how successful they disambiguated the nominalization, recognized the underlying verbal concept of the nominalization, and filled its thematic roles.
The algorithms assume the existence of rules for disambiguating the root verb of each of the nominalizations, as well as the mapping rules for those syntactic constructions which are specific to the nominalization.
The verb disambiguation rules had already been written as part of our ongoing research, and therefore, the effort needed to handle the nominalizations of these verbs was quite small.

The Johnson governments quickly enacted "fl codes", effectively giving freedmen only a limited set of second-class civil rights, and no voting rights.
The last moderate proposal was the Fourteenth Amendment, which guaranteed the Federal war debt, extended citizenship to everyone born in the United States (except visitors and Indians on reservations), penalized states that did not give the vote to Freedmen, and most importantly, created new federal civil rights that could be protected by federal courts.
With the backing of President Lyndon Johnson, it passed the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which outlawed discrimination in "public accommodations" (i.e., restaurants, hotels and businesses open to the public, as well as in private schools and workplaces), terminology which originated in the Civil Rights Act of 1875.
