Well the President has power of veto so he has as much control as congressmen.

Congress can over ride his veto though, with a 66% majority. There is a limited sharing of power as checks and balances, but the president in the end has the least amount of power of all the governmental branches. Constitutionally, the president is supposed to be little more then a figure head, much like England's royal family.
