> a lot of the things mentioned are what his congress did... Isn't that true for every president? Presidents love to claim all sort of "victories" for all sorts of things, or lambast their opponents for things, but in reality, it's really congress and the house that's are the legislative power in the system, not the office of the president. It should be them that enact the most changes. A lot of these things you mention are quite literally outside of the scope of what the president can realistically do, or should be able to do. Sure, he can set the agenda to a significant degree, has a lot of control over his own party, has quite extensive executive powers, but in the end, congress really is much more powerful. The way I head Americans talk about the president sometimes makes me feel like they are confusing "president" with "almighty ruler of the country" and don't understand their own political system.
