I keep thinking about the rumored prophecy of ‘hanging by a thread’ and wondering is this what that meant (providing it was a real prophecy of course)

Trust me - we're already there thanks to Obama & co.

I think both of you may be referring to the LDS Dark Horse prophecy.  That hangin' by a thread stuff sounds like a Mapleton John Birch Club meeting, where they serve finger sandwiches (but only from the right hand).

I was just trying to think of all the laws that the President can enact. Does anybody know how many?

The President can enact ZERO laws.  Laws must be passed by the Congress and then signed or vetoed by the President and if vetoed may then be passed by a supermajority over that veto.  The president may issue executive orders pursuant to laws passed by the Congress which may be counteracted by the same Congress visa legislation.  And all laws and executive orders may be reviewed and overturned on the basis of constitutionality by the Supreme Court.  It's that balance of power thing.

That is one of the major problems in our republic today, everybody gets all worked up about the presidential elections and does not really look at their own congressman or senators.   These people enact the laws and pass the budgets, yet presidential candidates promise the world but must go hat in hand to Congress for anything domestic.  Also people listen to the speeches and promises but do not follow the record.  Personally I vote against all incumbents, they have all had their chance.  Just fire the entire government once and watch how fast they work to find solutions.
