They do have more power than any president has ever actually exercised, especially if the bourgeoisie are behind it

I'm sure they could get away with some things before the bourgeoisie has time to react, but the people who have any chance of being elected are already bourgeois themselves and/or firmly under bourgeois control (if a president acts against bourgeois interests regardless of this, they have many ways to de-fang or neutralize that person)

Yes, I meant more so if a fascist took power and the bourgeoisie were supporting that

sure, a charismatic openly fascist president would be worse than the current setup, at least domestically
