It is a fundamental error to think about the federal government as if it were like a private company with an org chart. That's not how it's structured.

Although --

If one were to try that approach, you'd have to put Congress above the President in that org chart. Congress makes laws, which they hand to the Present to implement (or execute - hence the Executive branch of government).

Yes, the Constitution itself gives the President certain sole powers, but Congress gets to tell the President what (and sometimes, what not) to do.
