All that said, I think the powers of the presidency should be cut way, way back.

We already have a constitution that does that.

Limited the federal government to enumerated powers, even.

We don't need anything new. We just need to enforce what we already have.

Thomas Jefferson said something politically incorrect about how to do that.

I agree, but it seems that the Constitution is currently thought of as ‘merely a set of guidelines’, and many who take the oath of office think of it as a nuisance that they have to find ways around.
