The true role of a president in the U.S. government
#9
Make sure our borders are safe. (Includes diplomacy.)
Make sure our currency is worth something.
Make sure our military can work together.
Make sure our businesses keep to their word.

After that, I am really not too interested in the Federal government (though I am probably missing one or two more things on that list). The rest can fall on the responsibility of the State or lower governments.

As for a President, I view him ideally as a figure who can be the singular voice to the decisions of the masses. Rather than countries having to deal with 100 Senators and 435 Representatives, they can deal with 1 President who should be delivering their message, which ideally be the message of the people's interest and wishes.

But as for pushing policies through the government, and hijacking people's wallets with pet projects, or being able to just go fight with US troops wherever he likes, not a fan of that and not what I think the position is for.
