The Pros and Cons of too many Presidential powers.

Pros.

The country has one undisputable leader, the President.

The President can lead the army. He is the commander-in-chief of the armed forces.

Decision-making is quickly under the directives of the President.

Executive orders guarantee that decisions turn into effective actions.

Cons.

Too much power can turn into a dictatorship. That is why the other two branches need to do an effective job exerting their powers.

The President can veto laws creating a "legislation paralysis for a while."

The President can overwhelm decisions, not listening to what their advisors had to say or not taking into consideration the members of his cabinet.

He could exceed his authority when he wants to make treaties without the approval of the US Senate or wants to declare war without the approval of Congress.

The US President is the leader of the United States. He is the chief diplomat, he is the commander-in-chief of the US armed forces(Airforce, Navy, Army, Coastal Guard). He has the power to veto bills and sign bills. He can enforce legislation passed by Congress. He leads the executive branch and the Cabinet and appoints Supreme Court Justices.
