The US Constitution grants the president certain executive powers, and among the options provided, the correct one is:

B) Serve as Commander in Chief of the US Military

The Constitution designates the president as the Commander in Chief of the United States military, giving them authority over the nation's armed forces. The other options listed are not explicitly granted to the president by the Constitution:

A) The filibuster is a legislative tactic used in the Senate, not an executive power.

C) The president does not appoint Supreme Court Justices; they nominate candidates, and the Senate has the authority to confirm or reject the nominations.

D) The determination of whether federal laws are constitutional falls within the purview of the judicial branch, particularly the Supreme Court. The president, as part of the executive branch, does not have the constitutional authority to make this determination.
