Those limitations and constraints imposed on presidential powers under both constitutional and public laws may be interpreted from positive and negative sides. For instance, the sole decision-making in support of the ratification of certain laws complicates the democratization process and is the manifestation of authoritarianism. Also, such an aspect of presidential activity as solving judicial issues and legislation regarding the correctional system are impossible without prior coordination with the official federal authorities, which hampers the enforcement of sentences. At the same time, some nuances, for instance, the inability to run for several terms, is a positive aspect that enables candidates to compete and strive to increase their credibility among people through real actions. If I had an opportunity to make some adjustments, I would suggest defining a range of issues where the President’s sole decisions would be limited. In particular, I would establish a system of interaction where appointed members of Congress would have equal voting rights because some pressing issues related to social, military, and other areas are worth general discussion.
The absence of a criminal record should be one of the prerequisites for the appointment of the President of the United States. In case a representative of the government has penal stages in his or her biography, this person is not to be the guarantor of the Constitution and security of the country as a whole. Moreover, both conditional and actual criminal punishment should be barriers to obtaining authority and exclusive powers. Also, as an additional prerequisite, I would add a university degree in political science or other related disciplines. Constant discussions of economic, social, and other issues at the international level require appropriate preparation. Therefore, special professional training is an essential aspect of the President’s professionalism.
