anonymous · Answer

I would say C because both A and D both limit his powers in length of stay in office, and his power of declaring things into laws. B is increasing IT'S power over the army, taking from the power the president has over them. that leaves C. C is just about the Supreme court and limiting the supreme justice's power, not the presidents.
