Absolutely not. He does have a lot of power, there is no doubt. But the Founding Fathers were careful to build into our system many checks and balances to keep any one person from having too much power. For example, Congress can over-ride a presidential veto (when the president decides that he will not sign a bill into law). Congress can also bring impeachment charges against a president. Presidents are absolutely NOT above the law. However, interpreting the laws are not always easy, and that's why we have a government in the first place. People have to come together and work out differences. The Founders also knew that the system would be a little cumbersome, and this itself is a protection against hasty decisions. Of course, sometimes decisions about critical things have to be made very quickly. We do trust the president to take charge of affairs when and if it is necessary. It's just important to understand that the president does not have absolute power over any and every question that could possibly arise. The president is not an emperor or dictator.
the president cant make any decision he wants, congress is the one that can. if the president trys to he can get impeached
the difference is that the same isn't the same lol
the job is not to enforce the laws but to make them.
The US entered WW2 in December 1941, at which time Jimmy Carter was too young to vote, never mind be president. FDR was president at the time, but he didn't really have a decision to make. The treacherous attack on Pearl Harbour by Japan made the decision for him.
The US Congress. The President can make recommendations, but the final decision is up to Congress.
No, The president does not make the law, he only has the power to pass, veto, or suggest a law. the group of people who make the laws and run them through the president is the Senate. Also, if the president vetoes the law, the senate can overthrow his decision if 2/3 of the senate vote for the law to pass.
He advises the president, but he does not make the final decision.

the vice president helps the president make laws
He began to repeal the apartheid laws.

no
Depends, sometimes it is Congress that takes a vote, sometimes the President gets to veto, and sometimes the Supreme Court that gets to make the decision.
They give orders, and they give final say in decision making
My 13-year-old daughter hates her father and she prays that when she turns 14 she will not have to go visit him . What are the laws in the state of Indiana about the age of a child to make the decision. Or does a judge make the final decision?
The typical time it takes to make a final decision in our process is around 7 to 10 days.
