The executive branch includes everything from education to space exploration;
wars half way across the world - with the world's most powerful army, ever;
retirement pensions in Hawaii; oil drilling in Alaska as well as oil & energy company regulation, taxation, and subsidy;
regulating thousands of television and radio channels;
providing price supports and subsidies to farmers as well as regulating the food supply;
defining legally acceptable medical treatments and medications;
and coordinating resources to provide medical care for poor, disabled, veterans and other retired people...
Is it ever, at some point, too much power for one human to hold? Even with thousands, probably tens or hundreds of thousands of employees underneath him/her, how great is the temptation to corruption? Even granted significant resources, how could an individual be expected to effect positive change in so many unrelated areas at once?
