The posed question was what would history remember about his presidency.
It was not ‘why is this the case / how did that happen’.
You’re rationalizing.
You’re not ‘wrong’, but you’re rationalizing.
Yep, he/they did not have absolute power.
But that was the peak of their power - look what they did and did not do with it.
They sold out the country, continued the selling out of the country… and effectively presided over the main event that literally formalized selling out the country.
Hopefully I don’t need to explain that the President typically has a very large impact on the policies and politics of their party.
I don’t think history will remember that he did not do something, especially something that he had no power to do. He’ll be remembered for what he did.
Bombing weddings, schools, and hospitals? Being denounced by doctors without borders? Signing off.on extending the patriot act? Persecuting Snowden and manning?

Depends on who writes the books.
