The job of POTUS is too much for one person. The solution isn’t easy. Any construct involving more than one person is likely become frozen into inaction.

POTUS is increasingly having to rule by dictate because Congress has become totally dysfunctional. Something our Founding Fathers did not foresee. Decisions have to be made and if POTUS is unable to make them, then what?

I agree, there is long term danger in that.

He needs to be able to delegate, with accountability.

That’s why he has a Cabinet.

“The job of POTUS is too much for one person. “

Any job as head of a sufficiently large and/or complex organization, government, military, commercial, educational or church, is too much for one person. That is why you choose leaders who are able to find & evaluate competent, trustworthy assistants and delegate to them.

If you have a potential leader who believes that he IS competent to run the whole show, watch out! The leader needs to be sufficiently cognizant of his areas of responsibility so that he may accurately evaluate the reports and recommendations of his assistants.

Then he will make the final decision. “The Buck stops here.”
