weakened president

[Charles Brown]

Yes, and on the model of the modern corporation, there IS a board of directors over the executive or president of the "Company" ( I don't mean the Congress). 
The Board of Directors of the Dictatorship of the Bourgeoisie is NOT elected by the People. We got a glimpse of the Board in the Trilateral Commission in the 1970's, but it has gone back behind the veil. Perhaps Goldman, Sachs is sitting in the Chair of the Board today.  The dictatorship of the bourgeoisie is not an anarchistic affair, but the bourgeoisie's  finesse is that they rule relatively anonymously and indirectly (they don't "micro-manage").  This is to bolster the myth that democracy has no classes anymore.

as Marx and Engels wrote more than fifteen years ago (and it's still
true today): "The executive of the modern state is but a committee for
managing the common affairs of the whole bourgeoisie."

nowhere is the prez's "chief liar" role more important than in
projecting/protecting "US interests"...Michael Hoover
