Practice question
An autonomous region adopts a measure contrary to an applicable national law within the constitutional allocation of powers. Its officials claim the word autonomous forbids the President from even supervising faithful execution of law. A national adviser counters that the President may therefore personally choose every regional policy regardless of law. Which position is correct?
- The region is immune from the Constitution
- Neither categorical claim is correct: Section 16 preserves general supervision for faithful execution without converting it into unlimited policy control
- The President owns every autonomous-region decision as private property
- A regional label removes every statutory duty
- The Constitution contains no autonomous-region relationship
