Because then the president would be a dictator. The founding fathers of the USA didn't want a Dictatorship, they wanted limited government. You have to realize that all a democracy needs is 50% + 1 vote to pass something with only 2 choices, with 4 candidates that number drops down to you can essentially get elected with 25% +1 vote. That means it is possible for 75% of the nation to be unhappy with a leader. Hence, the founding fathers limited the role of government to be only the powers listed in the constitution to prevent dictatorships from forming.
