    The president has little say on the laws that Congress passes.

    Vetoes

    Executive Orders

    Judicial Appointments

    Fundraising for Congressional Candidates

    An Attorney General that can argue against legislation in federal courts

    An enormous administrative bureaucracy that authors internal policy under broader federal mandates

    A Vice President who breaks ties in a Senate split 48(D)/3(I)/49®

    But other than that…
