From what you know about the presidency today, do you think the authors of the constitution did a good job of giving the president enough power to do his job but not so much that he could do the things he shouldn't? give some examples

From what I know about the presidency today, I think the authors did a great job giving the president limited power. Our president today has many great ideas and also has ideas that some of us may not agree with. If the authors had given the president all the power to do everything they would like to do, there would be a lot of things wrong with our country today. In reality, congress is in charge of what goes and what does not. For example, the American Jobs Act. In the minority, Republicans still shut down President Obama’s 2011 jobs plan. It would have imposed a 5.6-percent tax on all income over $1 million to pay for new “stimulus” spending by the government. The Democrats’ majority couldn’t pass the measure, which failed 50-49.  One other example would be the  Immigration reform, toward the end of his term, President George W. Bush pushed for a complete overhaul of the nation’s immigration system in 2007. The measure would have bolstered border security but granted citizenship to millions of illegal immigrants. Republican senators jumped ship and a motion to end debate failed, 53 to 46.
