a line-item veto.. R>A
In the United States, currently no one has line-item veto power. It was awarded to the president in 1996, but was later deemed unconstitutional in 1998.
Maybe the line-item veto is the missing power you are thinking of. Of course there are many powers that some dictators have that the President was not given..

I think has the power of line item vetoes in the bills that authorize expenditures.
on spending and tax bills
The line-item veto gives the President more power. Without it, Congress can bundle expenditures the President would like to veto with items that are absolute necessities and so force the President to allow something he does not want. Whether this is bad or good would depend on the wisdom of the President.
The power of the "line item veto" is implied when a legislature leaves a blank signature space next to portions and monetary appropriations on a final bill sent to the executive. The Chairman, President, Governor, or other executive can choose not to sign sections of the bill which are vetoed while the signed sections become law. This was judged unconstitutional for the President of the United States under President Clinton: http://www.cnn.com/ALLPOLITICS/1998/06/25/scotus.lineitem/
