The President of the United States is the head of state and head of government of the United States and the commander-in-chief of the United States Armed Forces.  The President also has the ability to grant pardons and reprieves.  From where I stand, that makes the presidential position an awesomely powerful one.  He can do ALL that and I doubt he would get a speeding ticket.
