No, I think its you who doesn't understand how the US government actually works. The President of the US has many executive powers, besides the veto. President has the power to issue an executive order--which has force of law(perhaps the strongest power). He is also Commander in Chief which has many powers in its own right, he also has the power to appoint Federal officials like US Attorney General, Federal Judges for the Federal Circuit Courts, Supreme Court justices, power of the Presidential pardon, power to conduct foreign policy, power of executive privilege, the President also has a role in creating a budget proposal and plan, and that's all I can think of for now.
You are so badly mistaken, I should give you a negative rating for this nonsense you posted. However, I don't know whether you are just ignorant or just trying to lie to people, either of which is wrong.
LOL...I think you misunderstand what I say, due to the US government balance of power, US president can do a whole lot of thing, but one way or another the president him or her self does not have
sole power or executive power on virtually anything.
US president can issue executive order, but unless that order is under the scope of US constitution, the order still need congress approval...
Executive order - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
United States presidents issue executive orders to help officers and agencies of the
executive branch manage the operations within the federal government itself.
Executive orders have the full force of law when they take authority from a legislative power which grants its power directly to the Executive by the Constitution,
or are made pursuant to Acts of Congress that explicitly delegate to the President some degree of discretionary power (
delegated legislation)
President is indeed the Commander In Chief, and he can issue mobilisation order and mobilise the Armed Force, but then he again need to turn to the senate and congress for funding, the president can indeed order the armed force to go anywhere in the world and do whatever, but without congress release the fund, who pay for the mobilisation?
United States Senate Committee on Armed Services - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The
Committee on Armed Services is a
committee of the United States Senate empowered with
legislative oversight of the
nation's military, including the
Department of Defense, military
research and development,
nuclear energy (as pertaining to
national security), benefits for members of the military, the
Selective Service System and other matters related to defense policy. The Armed Services Committee was created as a result of the
Legislative Reorganization Act of 1946 following U.S. victory in the
Second World War. It merged the responsibilities of the
Committee on Naval Affairs (established in 1816) and the
Committee on Military Affairs (also established in 1816). Considered one of the most powerful Senate committees, its broad mandate allowed it to report some of the most extensive and revolutionary legislation during the
Cold War years, including the
National Security Act of 1947.

The President nominates officers to be promoted from this list with the advice of the
Secretary of Defense, the service secretary, and if applicable, the service's chief of staff or commandant.
[8] The President may nominate any eligible officer who is not on the recommended list if it serves in the interest of the nation, but this is uncommon.
[9] The Senate must then confirm the nominee by a majority vote before the officer can be promoted. Once the nominee is confirmed, they are promoted to that rank once they assume or hold an office that requires or allows an officer of that rank.
