Not in theory, although the President tends to overintepret his role.

The power that seems to be there really masks a rather weak office. However, if a President is a good leader, they can be powerful, though a Senator who was a good leader could be too.

Depends on the circumstances. Bush knew how to get power, although he probably wasn't a very good leader.

Not really. In general, it's the American system of division of powers that's at fault. Powers are divided in a way to create deadlock prevent any of the branches from actually accomplishing anything.

Garbage...what does division of power have to do with the legislature not being able to accomplish anything?

Internal Senate procedure is the main reason for inability to accomplish stuff.
