Alright, I don't mean for this to turn into a political debate. I can certainly understand how it might but I ask that that you try not to fight over your favorite console political party.
This is actually about what people seem to think the President can do. I've been watching this newest debate and some of these questions don't really apply to the Presidency:
"Which tax credits would you eliminate to pay for your tax cut?"
"What will you do to correct the unequal pay between men and women?"
"What are you planning to do with immigrants without their green card?"
"How would you deal with the sale of assault weapons?"
(I'm paraphrasing a bit)
While it's the President's job to decide how to apply the respective policies that address those questions, it's not the President's job to actually create those policies. It is congress who decides on policies and laws. The most control the President has on these issues is the power to veto whatever is approved by the House and the Senate. Mostly though, whomever is President just tries to work with our elected representatives, but it's not really up to the executive branch.
I happen to think that people are putting too much importance on the job of the President. But I could be wrong. So I ask:
What sort of things do you [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/profiles/view/] think the President has control over?
