The three branches of government are equal under the Constitution, but as individuals, the President is over Senators and Representatives...

I guess it depends on your definition of ‘over.’ At work, my boss was over me and I served at his pleasure. As individuals, the president can neither hire nor fire a legislator. But if enough legislators get together they can ‘fire’ the president.

Additionally, all the members of the Cabinet have to be approved by the Senate. How many legislative staffers does the president get to vet? None.
