Due to the voting process that comes with being an American we, as citizens, vote for congress, the house, and the state representatives. But when it comes down to it. Our votes for the president. Are controlled not by popular votes, which it should be but by the electoral college votes. They make the deciding factor of whom takes the noble office at the end. With foreign affairs, yes the president does have influential powers over some, not all. Our courts and congress have a lot to do with what reaches the president as a final result. The president has to watch that he doesn't step over the boundary of his powers and take away from a democracy and turn it into a dictatorship. Which is not in the best interest of the presidents people. THis could lead to rioting and protesting, which we have seen coming from Egypt. It is essential for the president to recognize the views and what his nations people want and not declare that just because he is the president it's his way or the high way.
