It's actually pretty astonishing how much absolute power a president can have if he/she has the audacity to try, and the people lack the will to oppose.

So much trust is put on things like oaths, sacred duty to office, and a 240 year old piece of parchment. The whole system is built on faith more than tangible checks and balances.
