Thanks so much for making that point about the illusion advanced by the media and politicians in this country for so long, that the President's job is to somehow control the economy. So much malarkey, but the average American buys into it because they've been told that for so many years now.
The President's job is clearly described in Article II of the Constitution, and nowhere in there does it say a word about controlling or regulating the economy. His job is to see that the laws of the country are faithfully enforced, and a few other specified duties.
Does any President of this country have the power to enact certain duties and fees through regulation, rightly or wrongly in today's practice of governance?
