A president should have nearly dictatorial powers

True or false?

McCain's Communication Director thinks it's a good idea
....

The Constitution says no:
The structure of government in the United States is laid out in the Constitution. The Constitution describes three co-equal branches of government:
  • The national, or federal, legislature is called the "Congress." It is made up of elected officials from each state. These officials are responsible for enacting the laws.
  • The executive branch, headed by the President, is responsible for running the government and enforcing the laws that Congress enacts.
  • The Judicial branch is responsible for interpreting the laws and settling formal disputes between people or between people and the government.
Way to start out on the right foot there, John.
