To a point, but the President has not been given the power to be a dictator.

To a point, but the President has not been given the power to be a dictator.
No one is asking them to be, but if you don’t understand that the ability to get an agenda past Congress is there job, I don’t know what to tell you. The job of a President isn’t to accept defeat for their constituents, is to find a way through.
That isn’t the President’s job to wrangle Congress. Perception over time has made people think that, but the Presidency was never set to lead the legislative branch. If that were the case, the President would be more like a Prime Minister in other countries.
