核心要点
The Delicate Balance of Presidential Power
The American presidency represents a remarkable paradox in governance. When Harry Truman found a note on his desk reading "The buck stops here," he inherited not just an office but a fundamental tension that defines American democracy. We demand accountability from our presidents while simultaneously limiting their power through elaborate checks and balances. This carefully calibrated office has evolved dramatically since its creation yet remains anchored to its constitutional foundations. Barack Obama called it "the most powerful job in the world," yet presidents from Jefferson to Biden have discovered its profound limitations. The presidency exists in a perpetual state of tension - powerful enough to lead a superpower yet constrained enough to preserve democratic principles.
