Most of us consider the US President as the most powerful man on earth. Many foreign to meet him at least once in the Oval Office. Some remain content with only short photo sessions with him at luncheons or dinners attended by him. But how powerful is he in reality?
The US constitution defines the powers of the president in only three short paragraphs. The president is the commander in chief of the armed forces. He can appoint ambassadors, minister a d consuls, judges of the supreme court and all other officers of the United States but only with the 'advice and consent' of the Senate. The Congress may vest the appointment of some junior officers in the president.
