elected President? Their present jobs offer them much more ability to do the things they profess than does the presidency. If they were unable in either House or Senate why would they suddenly able as President?

To answer your question;
I would have to say laziness. You are correct, the legislative branch does control more of policy than the president who says yes or no to those bills brought before him for signature passed by the legislative branch. So as to why they didn't try harder to push their agenda while in congress they didn't mean too or were to lazy to try.

If they are or previously served in Congress, they have some degree of experience. It really doesn't matter if it's one year or a hundred.
It's like any job out there-you work your way up.

It is all a game. There are probably no "real" people up there. Back when the country first started there were real people. They just care about the power, prestige, etc.

Politicians keeping their promises...yeah that's a riot. Democrat / Republican... doesn't matter, they are all in it for the power and self promotion, and personal wealth from special interest groups.

The ones running are full of promises along with something else.
