In terms of strictly governing the country regardless of generation, Congress over the last 30 years or so simply has too much power. Under the current system as interpreted over the past few decades; the president simply cannot do his/her job. If the president is not allowed to unilaterally enact policy; How can He/She properly direct national security? The answer is the he/she would be unable to, because everything is currently subject to having to be cleared through congress in order to be implemented. Granting the president the power to unilaterally authorize war and to declare war would be a major reform of the system.
