It's simply because the majority of Americans don't take seriously the process of electing the most powerful individual on this planet. They've allowed the media to turn it into a reality show and simply have no appreciation or realization of their individual or collective role in the process.
Do you really think the president is so powerful (my bolded)? I mean yeah, he can dial up some nuclear rain. But can he even appoint a judge let alone set any policy whatsoever without the approval of the lunatic asylum we call the congress? I think "separation of powers" is code for "status quo protected against any possible meddling". Our constitution is an anachronism.
He doesn't have unlimited power, but he can still dish out the hurt with illegal wars (Bush in Iraq) with the most powerful military in the world without having to go to congress for approval. Then there's the executive order that King Obama and King Bush have been so fond of. I'm grateful that we have the congressional lunatic asylum, whether they happen to be blue or red, and I actually like the fact that it's very difficult to change the status quo. That means it's a much harder fight and longer process to change things, but once they are changed they're not likely to be flipped on and off based upon the whims and biases of whatever regime has the majority.
