holy crap.
I am well aware of how things work. What I am saying is that if we play by these rules nobody can say things like: "Trump cut taxes." Trump didn't do shit but sign a paper. Congress cut taxes. Bush didn't invade Iraq, Congress did. Obama didn't make Obamacare, Congress did.

All I am pointing out is that traditionally a president gets credit for things that they sign and that happen under their administration.

The president is basically a coach on a sports team. If they win, the coach gets the credit. If they lose, the coach takes the blame even though the couch never plays a minute of the game.
