Answer: Executive Order

Step-by-step explanation:

In an Executive Order, the President can instruct members of the executive branch to carry out certain functions in the interest of the President fulfilling his or her Constitutionally prescribed duties.

You included no options but this is most likely the correct answer.

Executive Orders issued by the President are Federal directives to members of the executive branch in the federal government such as agencies and departments to carry out certain functions that will enable the President to fulfil his/her mandate as bestowed by the Constitution.

Once enacted these orders have the full power of the Presidency behind them and thus have the effect of law. They can however be subject to interpretation by the Supreme Court such as when the Supreme Court upheld President Trump's executive order on a travel ban.
