And here's what really bugs me. Article 2 of the Constitution, which gives the President what power he or she has, is very limited. In fact, I went back and reread it recently. The President only really is given two, I'd say one and a half unilateral powers. The one is the power of pardon. There's no check or balance. President has that power, absolutely unfettered power. He also is the commander in chief of the armed services of the armed forces in a time of war. (15:20–15:30)
