The real power of the US lies in Congress and the judicial system. The president is really just an administrative role, and that's over a lifetime bureaucracy that has managed presidential power for decades. Executive orders are more a thing now, but they can be overridden by the next administration. Sure the president has veto power, but even it can be overridden. Dynasty is what you're thinking, and really, our federal system is designed so one person can't have much power at all, other than the power of the pulpit. Nothing like a lifetime, and multi-generational monarchy.
