Congress has the right to approve or disapprove items in the president's budget request. The Senate has the right to approve or disapprove the president's appointments. Congress has the right to impeach and convict the President or Fire the President. Thus, congress has a lot of power. The founding fathers at the Constitutional Convention assumed that congress and not the President would take the leading role in the Federal Government. However, the inability of the politicians in Congress to work together made that original vision impossible. Thus, the president holds much of the power he holds by default. Just because Congress has not been able to get its act together for 220 years does not mean that will forever be the case.
