Which powers do Congress and the President share?
Phillip Schuman

Content: Congress did whatever they wanted irrespective of his wishes, overrode most of his vetoes, and even impeached him. Had they been fully unified they would’ve done even more. All of this is oversimplified and there’s plenty of room for debate when you get into the details, but the overriding truth is this: The Congress is potentially much more powerful than the President in many respects, but their power is fragmented. The President is not as powerful as the Congress in many respects, but his/her power is concentrated. It creates a unique balance of power that ensures no one person or institution ever becomes too powerful for too long, while still enabling a strong central government to react to the needs of the day without getting too far from the will of the people. This is the genius of the U.S. Constitution. Sponsored by The Penny Hoarder
