The Presidency does not have alot of domestic powers...the biggest domestic power a President has is the "bully pulpit/talk"...the Congress controls the purse strings and only the Congress can make law. The second biggest domestic power that a President has is the power to veto whatever Congress presents to him...but of course Congress has the power to override the veto.
Presidents are always the scapegoat for whatever goes badly and usually given little credit for whatever may go well.
BTW...President Clinton...after the Republicans took control of Congress...was called the best Republican President of all times...even though the Republicans had their way with him they were still critical of him as he was still a Democrat...but in name only.
