Some people say that it makes no difference who is the president of the United States. Is it true?/You don't say.

How can the United States be a presidential country with little power? It just means that before exercising power, it must be affirmed by more people. Just like the board of directors of a company, the chairman is obviously the biggest and most powerful, but the voting on everything is decided by the whole board of directors.

It's not that whoever is president is the same, but the way of handling state affairs after being president of the United States is the same. First of all, there is no doubt that there is a big consortium behind the president of the United States. Secondly, the rights of the president of the United States are restricted by the US Congress or Senate. The exercise of power must be approved by the Senate and Congress, but in an emergency, the president doesn't care whether Congress supports it or not.

The United States is a presidential country. Article 2 of the Constitution of the United States stipulates the functions and powers of the President of the United States.

On the administrative side, the president has the right to handle state affairs and all kinds of work of the federal government. He can issue laws that are legally binding on federal organs, and has the right to select and appoint the heads of all administrative departments, hospitals, departments, bureaus and other organs (subject to the approval of the Senate), as well as hundreds of other senior officials of the federal government. The President is the Commander-in-Chief of the U.S. Armed Forces, and can call the National Guard of each state to serve the Union. Although the right to declare war belongs to Congress, in some cases, the President often goes beyond Congress to declare war. In war and emergency, the president can have more power under the authorization of Congress.

In legislation, the President can veto any bill passed by the Congress, and the bill will not become law unless two-thirds majority votes of both houses override his veto. The President can deliver various State of the Union addresses to Congress, including State of the Union address, budget speech, economic speech, special speech, etc. And put forward the legislative suggestions he thinks necessary. This is an important means for the president to influence legislation. In addition, the president also has the power to authorize legislation. Therefore, the president not only has the right to carry out some reorganization within the original administrative system, but also has the right to establish new institutions.

In the judicial field, the President has the right to appoint the highest federal judicial officials. He can nominate and appoint federal judges, including Supreme Court judges, subject to the approval of the Senate. The President can also grant full or conditional pardon to anyone convicted of violating federal laws (except those impeached).

In foreign affairs, the president is the main official responsible for handling foreign relations. He appoints ambassadors, ministers and consuls abroad (subject to the approval of the Senate) and receives foreign ambassadors and civil servants. The president has the right to conclude treaties with foreign countries, but it must be approved by a 2/3 majority vote of the Senate; However, all administrative agreements signed by the president with foreign countries do not require the consent of the Senate. Therefore, the president often signs administrative agreements instead of concluding treaties.
