    Well, the president claims most of his power from the fact he’s elected by the people, but I think many would agree that no one man should hold the power of the president. It’s too open to abuse.

      The actual stated powers of the president aren’t. The real problem is the other branches refusing to do their job.

        Yep, but the problem is still there, and abolishing the presidency (or, let’s be real, changing it to a largely ceremonial and symbolic role, like the Queen of England) is one good way to solve the problem.
