Best Answer

A simple answer is that such is not one of the powers given to the President by the Constitution. A more complicated reason is that the Constitution establishes three more or less independent branches of government, each with a separate function, and a system of checks and balances to make sure that no one branch controls everything. Congress and the President are separate branches. Congress makes the laws and the President carries them out.
