I'm not sure about this. Compared to the leaders of the rest of the world, American Presidents have some of the most restrictive limitations on their power. It's part of the reason we're absent from so many international treaties; The PMs/Presidents/etc of other countries can sign them with ease, while we have to wait for the entire legislative process, which is filled with various deadlocks like the filibuster.
