DON'T YOU GUYS AGREE THAT...?

Question

no matter who wins the election, the president really doesn't have as much power as people think? He/she can't just simply change a law or bill...it has to pass through congress first and get majority vote ! And by the way the president is really comprised of a group of people that work beneath him/her. They are the ones who do most of the work. So whomever is president really should pick a strong team.

Answer 1

he can sign a executive order saying that if he doesn't agree with the law he isn't going to follow it

and that is a power that needs to be reviewed and so should every law that was signed with that as a attachment

because if the next president doesn't call for a review of that power , it will be a newly created power that will never go away

unconstitutional, and with no review

with no checks or balances

Answer 2

I agree that the president, he or she, is just a figure head. But, he and she have to have strong convictions to make decisions on a minutes notice on some things that aren't required to be okay-ed by congress. GO JOHN & SARAH

Answer 3

Yea the president doesn't have to much power. but if he makes good decisions all of the people beneath him will agree with his ideas. But your right, he needs a strong team to pass the laws and stuff.

Answer 4

Excellent....it is one thing for a president to send down a "request" to Congress...it is another thing getting it through the lobby system

Answer 5

Yes, also aren't there other influences.  Like lobbyists and big companies that like to fund projects as well as others...That dictate what will happen because they have a set way of doing things.
