The job of the president is to enforce the laws. The job of Congress is to legislate laws. Together they do the business of the government. The president doesn't share power with congress, but has his own duties. Congress checks his power by not passing laws, not approving appointments, approving the budget or not, and he needs approval of congress to declare war. Constitution tries to make a balance of power between the branches. Sometimes one branch will try to gain more power from other branches. Watergate changed the office of the president and it's power.
