Some of the writers of the US Constitution feared putting too much power in the hands of the President. But the system of checks and balances has mostly worked to equalize power among the three branches of US government.

There is one statement about the President being a "natural-born resident" of the US and this previously raised questions about the extension of citizenship, either for those born in US territories or for naturalized citizens (who would literally be excluded).

The section also establishes the Electoral College method of electing the President, and does not specify term limits (these were imposed by the 22nd Amendment in 1951).
