In theory, the President does not have the power to start wars. In theory, the President does not have the power to make treaties without the consent of the Senate.
Somewhere along the way, those limitations have disappeared.

If you do alot of research..you'll be surprised about what the president can do and can't do. It's amazing that he can even get a reservation on Air Force One. In my opinion...he's just a figurehead. When he gets beat down by congress.. then the house takes over and beats him down the rest of the way. When the electoral college is exposed for what it is and the line item veto is enacted...I'll be ready to support our president with all I can.

The President has the power to veto bills and appoint judges. That's it.

Act as a judge, serve in the Congress, shoot his critics, say sh!t to the press, lots of other stuff, including spend any amount of time without the Secret Service poking their noses into his assh0le.

Read it and find out. The responsibilities of the three branches of government are pretty clearly outlined there.
