Explanation:

• Granting pardons, reprieves, and amnesty: As chief executive, the president has the power to forgive federal crimes (pardon), delay punishment (reprieve), or offer a general pardon to a group (amnesty).
• Naming Supreme Court justices and other federal judges: The president, as the head of the executive branch, has the authority to nominate individuals to important judicial positions, which is a key executive - branch power related to the administration of justice.

• Negotiating treaties with other countries is more of a diplomatic power (though the president as chief executive can be involved, it's more directly tied to the role of chief diplomat).
• Deciding when to use military force is a power that is shared (Congress has the power to declare war, but the president can deploy troops in certain situations, but it's not as directly tied to the core "chief executive" administrative - like powers as the two correct options).
• Proposing a federal budget is a power related to the president's role in the legislative process (as the president can influence Congress with budget proposals) rather than a core chief - executive (administrative) power.

Answer:

granting pardons, reprieves, and amnesty; naming Supreme Court justices and other federal judges
