Dear Korvo One,

I would like to preface that I am not expert on the Executive Branch of US government, but since the time of George Herbert Walker Bush I have been surprised (dismayed) at how much authority the POTUS can assume.

And whoever wins this election, we may have those limits tested even further.

No.

President has power? Yes. Is he in charge of executive branch ? Yes.

But he can't make all the decisions alone.

The federal law gets created under eyes of "Congress"

-Congress includes:

-Senate -House of Representatives

There's 100 Senator and 435 Representatives

Also we have other branches such as "Judicial"

Judicial branch:

-Reviews the law -Explains the law -Resolves disputes -Decides if a law goes against the constitution.

A president has branches under his throat. Every bill must be reviewed by many before it's passed.
