They hold ALL power. That is what it means to be a dictator.
They don't have limits, and that is why they are dictators. Dictators have complete control over their country.

The Dictators
Nobody hold unlimited power. Unumerated means without numbers, or infinite. In the United States nobody holds infinite power, however, in other countries their dictators or rulers hold infinite power. I am unaware of which countries have a dictatorship or a republic government.
Because they're dictators. Someone who is a dictator had to have been attracted to power in the first place. Why is this? They need power to maintain their position and they have a strong desire to assert their will over others.

Dictators don't get elected. They take power and create conditions that allows them to take power. This just happened in Turkey in the last two weeks.
Right then, What are dictators? they are individuals with a very high obsession with money and power. So why not give them money and power then they'll F off.
Dictators (aka authoritarians) tend to remain in power - until they die - as long as the people they oppress despair of getting anything better. Revolutions start with rising expectations, when the people begin to get some hope of improving their situation. Those dictators who are still holding on to power are those who successfully deny their people hope.
They took power by force and ruled with total authority.
