It's important to remember, then, that the President of the United States is not the head of very much at all.

(a list of why that is, has been edited out here, for the sanity of the reader)

And no matter who is elected, there is always a tremendous amount of power within the people themselves, which is hard to see sometimes. President Anyone with only 30% support of the people is close to entirely powerless.
