Ron Paul does not compromise, they have tried and failed.
Newt Gingrich exempted him from the Republican party whip in the House, no one else got an exemption because he does not compromise.
as Commander in Chief a President has enormous authority over Foreign Policy and Paul would change America's foreign policy from interventionist to non-intervenionist.
He wouldn't need to ask Congress to add to the national debt and authorize $300bn every year for Iraq for example, because he would be working on getting out of Iraq
Domestically, he will try and get his program through Congress and work with them but most importantly he has the Veto pen, which im sure he would happily use.
