    Externally it is a powerful position, but can the president do much inside the US itself?

    Pardoning and appointments seem to be the limits.

      You think that’s all Trump did? Really?

          Sorry… what on Earth does that have to do with your claim that the only thing the president can do inside the US is pardoning and making appointments?

            Sorry. Wrong context.

            So, what other powers does a president have? Us Obama as an example if Trump is distasteful.

                OK. Emergency powers are pretty strong but the rest are largely external to the US.

                  For one, the president has the power to veto any legislation passed by Congress.

                    The power to preserve the status quo is not very useful.
