The president has almost no power.

Congress would have overiden his vetoes for the highway bill.

President has no line item veto power.

The dems all voted against bush's 39 billion cuts in entitlements. If the gop had more members chris shays wouldn't hold the balance of power in the house and bush could get 390 billion in cuts.

Bush has to get harry reid's approval for social security because it needs 60 votes to pass and dems can filibuster it.


The President in the U.S is the most powerless position of any leader in any country concerning their own country.

The president has no power on the gulf coast. Federalism gives it to the governors and mayors.


Bush should resign because he gets abuse while having no power to affect the situation.


Bush should give a national address resigning and educate the american people on the myth of the power of the presidency. This isn't Russia. The governors in this country all have a millions times the power in their states that bush has.

The president has almost no power.

He does have the power to pull the trigger.

And he may pull it again, this time on Iran late next year. - tom

The president has almost no power.

A reading of Our Constitution shows that our President’s primary function (Art II Sec 1) is to coordinate the Executive Branch – the nuts and bolts of running our country’s bureaucracy.
Congress is supposed to be in charge of running our country (enacting laws, setting policy), with the Executive and Judicial acting as a check on misuse of their power.
