So yeah. Basically the question asks; how much real authority does the POTUS have? How many actions recognized as those of the US actually derive from the thoughts of the prez? Could the US function as efficiently with a chimpanzee, or perhaps a bonobo in charge?

If the monkey could be trained to throw it's feces at foreign leaders I don't like I'd vote for him. Notice I said him. Female monkeys are simply unelectable.

You didn't get the email, did you?

We've had a chimp for President ever since Ulysses S. Grant.
