I think all presidents get tired after a number of years in office.  If you look at Bill Clinton when he went in and how he looked when he left, you can see a lot of the years on his face.

It's really not.  Sure, the President seems to be much more engaged in the international side of things, but Congress has always had a much more domestic role.  Because Congress has the power to set policy within the country, the biggest way that the President can exercise his power is through diplomacy and the military.  It's merely a matter of perception.

as george w said himself "the president's duty is to make decisions,in other words he is a desision maker".\nyes the (main) president's duty is to make decicions in order to provide comfort for it's people,and comfort may contain security ,prosperity,...\nbut about his powers you ought to ask your question another way "what are not the powers of the president"!\nofcourse president's power is limited by the congress but if if they are concordant to him then his got almost any power!!!

It is not the quality of the Presidents it is the lack of understanding of the people in and around the country that has changed over the years.\n\nPeople are so quick to say that someone is not doing the job correctly without all of the facts or some understanding of what it is to actually make a commitment to any situtation.\n\nThe President tries to make decision every day that hopefully make life better for us and if that means doing some things that you wouldn't do all of the time then you run the country and see how far you get.

The Constitution assigns the president two roles: chief executive of the federal government and Commander in Chief of the armed forces. As Commander in Chief, the president has the authority to send troops into combat, and is the only one who can decide whether to use nuclear weapons.\n\nAs chief executive, he enforces laws, treaties, and court rulings; develops federal policies; prepares the national budget; and appoints federal officials. He also approves or vetoes acts of Congress and grants pardons.
