69, Alexander Hamilton sought to explain the nature of the executive branch in order to address fears that the U.S. President would function as an elected monarch, the primary concern of Anti-Federalists.

Memories of unpopular British polices were fresh in the mind of Anti-Federalists, and they were not ready to accept any new government that would resemble Britain's.

[2] Hamilton also highlights the different standings of both the proposed American President and the King of Great Britain in maintaining their armies.

The President has the ability to conduct war as he sees fit, if authorized by an Act of Congress (consistent with specified powers of the Legislative Branch under Article I, Section 8 of the Constitution), and he also is identified as the primary "Commander-in-Chief" of both the army and the navy (Article II, Section 2), with the power to nationalize state militias and to command them.

[4] The President "ha[s] Power to grant Reprieves and Pardons for Offenses against the United States, except in Cases of Impeachment" under Article II of the US Constitution.

[a][5] Importantly, Hamilton addresses the Anti-Federalist concern of foreign relations by explaining the limitation on presidential power as opposed to the King of Great Britain's unrestricted ability to enter into treaties.

Based on the United States, Congress has the full authority to deal with the conduct of how interstate commerce and currency is handled.

Both set of laws of interstate commerce and fundamentals to the handling of currency are fairly similar in their conduct and Hamilton highlights both in Federalist Paper 69.

The President of the United States is given the power to appoint public ministers, Supreme Court judges, and all officers established by law.
