    He's just supposed to run the various branches according to the rules the Legislature writes.

    That is partly right. However, the executive branch was indeed given constitutional powers and authorities. The president was never intended to be a mere puppet, manipulated by congress. On the other hand, see my post above regarding war powers. No president should have the power to unilaterally invade somewhere.
