Answer
Brief Explanations:
Ethos is an appeal to ethics, credibility, or character. In the excerpt, Roosevelt mentions "my constitutional duty" and "within my constitutional authority", which are references to his official role and the legal framework. This is an attempt to establish his credibility and authority (ethos) to recommend and seek the adoption of measures. Logos is an appeal to logic (not present here as no logical reasoning or facts are given). Pathos is an appeal to emotion (no emotional language). Chronos is not one of the traditional rhetorical appeals (the three main ones are ethos, logos, pathos).
Answer:
Ethos
