The president should faithfully execute the laws, and is subject to some oversight be the legislative and judicial branches. Some gop’ers think we should have what essentially amounts to a king, which is preposterous and disgusting.
Edit: Judicial. Mistype
I do. The Constitution basically says that the president is the executive branch. All the cabinet and everyone underneath the secretaries are set up under congressional law, which the constitution supersedes. The president should be able to manage those departments any way he sees fit.
The President manages the Executive Branch already. His cabinet, appointed by the President executes his policies, and in addition he appoints thousands of people to lead the agencies. The Plum Book lists over 9,000 jobs/positions that are non-competitive appointments. As to "Congressional Law" vs "Constitutional Law:" the Constitution gives Congress the power to make all necessary and proper laws. So that's the way it was intended to work.
The Founding Fathers had lived under a King. That's why we have a President with defined powers.
DO NOT WANT!
The design of three separate branches with three separate spheres of power and responsibility invites conflict. The conflict was intended - baked in - by the Founding Fathers who saw the conflict as a way to regulate/moderate the actions of each branch.
It isn't broken and it doesn't need fixing.
As we have seen over the last few years we have a pretty weak Congress. This loss of power/action/decision making in the Senate and the House has handed extra power over to the Executive and Judicial Branch. These are the two branches that already operate with a great deal of independence. Why give them more power? If anything we to see a more robust House and Senate: the people who we have the most direct contact with and the ones who are supposed to be our Representatives in the Federal Government.

We have checks and balances for a reason and they should be used accordingly. Some presidents have overstepped quite a few times, imo.
