You seem to be enamored with the notion of an all powerful President.
The President appoints political heads of the bureaucracy, some appointments by law need to be approved by Congress, he’s been failing to perform the required appointments. He’s also blocking the Constitutionally required congressional oversight of his administration. He is responsible for the spending of funds appropriated by Congress.
Contrary to his belief he doesn’t have great powers but does have great responsibility.
Unfortunately as I expected he has failed to rise to the occasion in any problem he has confronted, that’s the definition of a failed president.

Frasier: Niles, I’ve just had the most marvelous idea for a website! People will post their opinions, cheeky bon mots, and insights, and others will reply in kind!

Niles: You have met “people”, haven’t you?
