I just noticed this.

Contrary to popular belief, a President can not snap his fingers and BAM something happens. If that were the case, don't you think every President would be making changes a lot quicker than what they do? These things take time. We have Checks and Balances in place to stop any one person from having too much power. The scenario you're speaking of would grant that one too much power.

I like the 6 year term Lenny mentioned. Not only would it give the President more time to get things accomplished, it would also eliminate the "burden" of getting reelected. But then again, a 6 year term just may grant too much power.
