> it feels like the president has a really hard time getting things done as well.

Yes and no.

He's the commander in chief and the top manager of the administration. Executive orders and simple orders. He could stop the drones. Basically any military unit. (As far as I know. Though probably while honoring the chain of command, so not directly. But disobeying a direct order is grounds for court martial, etc.)

But other than those, he could have done a lot more, on paper.

The question is do we know why he picked the people he did during his terms? Why he waited with the equal pay order? Why is he not pushing more on transparency?

And why is his team so incompetent that they botched the fucking healthcare.gov site? ACA was the big thing he pushed through Congress. And no one was keeping an eye on it?
