Usually it is the Program Manager or in some cases the Portfolio Manager. It all depends on the Organizational Hierarchy
Top Manager
Usually it is either the Program Manager or the PMO
The main weakness is that being a Project Manager doesn't entitle you to have authority over the resources. Yo have to earn it/grab it. This is the biggest challenge that a Project Manager usually faces.
Authority is usually never assigned to the Project Manager, it is either earned (grabbed) by the Project Manager or it is based on the type of organization (functional, projectized, matrix). Functional: The Project Manager has no or little authority over the resources. Projectized: The Project Manager has almost absolute authority. Matrix: A balance between functional and projectized.
Well, you might be surprised to know that a project manager has no formal authority whatsoever. In fact, in most organizations, the authority (or power, whatever you want to call it) still lies in the hands of the line/functional manager who often abuses it. The project manager, unless working in a projectized organization does not own the resources and does not have any authority (power) over the resources. A lot of conflicts between the line manager and the project manager arise because of this situation (imagine trying to get people to do some work over whom you have no authority whatsoever). Smart project managers, in this situation, try to earn some informal authority over the resources. Sunil Pal

This question requires an elaborate answer, here's an excellent article on the differences (and the advantages) between the project architect and the project manager: http://www.pmhut.com/project-architect-vs-project-manager
over the shoulder making out is literally looking back over your shoulder and givng a french kiss to the guy you have in mind.

I saw the same question in a thread for a college. This is what it was about. It was looking at Microsoft Project for instance, if the manager is allocating resources and notices that one resource is over allocated, then he can decide to level the resources daily if needed. It's a way a manager can balance a project.

Looking over your shoulder.
According to one source online, if the eagle is looking over its right shoulder, it stand for the nazi party, if over the left shoulder, it stand for the country. I have a P38 9mm Pistol made by Walther in 1943 for the Luftwaffe and the eagle over the swastika is looking over his right shoulder. Hope that helps.
