It never ceases to amaze me how much "power" folk believe the President has.

He submits a budget, Congress chews it up, and then gives what Congress wants to.
He gets money from Congress, but cannot spend it except on what Congress has authorized.
He must report EVERYTHING (someday y'all need to try to identify all of the reports the Executive Branch - every office/department/agency - must provide Congress on what's going on, done, and planned).
He has term limits, while some Congresspersons have 40-50+ years in office.

The President is not a monarch or dictator, yet if you follow many posts it would seem the President controls how much sunshine will beam from the sky and everything else as well. Also, it's amazing how many people seem to WANT the President to be the Santa Claus of their lives and control everything.

How strange!
