Basically, the powers of a President to enrich himself pale next to his powers to create worldwide havoc.

You state this as if worldwide havoc is a bad thing.

And you are wrong in the general sense; only certain presidents or prime ministers etc are capable of creating "worldwide havoc". The president of Albania or Paraguay for example must set the standard goal of lining their pockets, padding their stock options and bank accounts, and hoarding gold instead of setting off catastrophes that rock the foundations of civilization that may bring the demise of all of humanity. Though I think the latter part of my last statement is a worthy goal.
