> Think of presidents as figure heads. They represent an idea but they don’t have as much power as many think.
This is a bad take. The presidential veto is hugely powerful, since a veto can only be overridden if two-thirds of both houses of congress vote to override. Meaning only bills with strong bipartisan support (i.e. the kind that don't get vetoed) can survive a veto.
If you don't have the Presidency, you don't pass legislation.
