Answer

The answer is (A)

Explanation
Option A:

Before the Twenty-Second Amendment, a president could potentially take more time to enact their agenda, as there was no constitutional limit on the number of terms they could serve. This could allow for a more deliberative approach. After the ratification of the Twenty-Second Amendment, which limits a president to two terms, there might be increased pressure to be more efficient in enacting their agenda within the limited time frame.

Option B:

The Twenty-Second Amendment does not address the allocation of funds for welfare programs. This option incorrectly suggests a change in presidential powers regarding budgetary allocations, which are not affected by the amendment.

Option C:

The Twenty-Second Amendment does not pertain to the appointment of cabinet members or the creation of new agencies. This option does not correctly compare actions before and after the amendment.

Option D:

The Twenty-Second Amendment does not relate to the process of calling a joint session of Congress. This option incorrectly suggests a change in procedural powers that are not impacted by the amendment.
