In 1995 the president had agreed with our allies to send troops to support a peace in Bosnia if there was one, but many in Congress attempted to block that possibility.
This was the President’s original role regarding legislation. However, in the 20th century, Presidents have become more active and suggest laws and often initiate the process and then end it by signing the law that he suggested and shepherded through the Congress. But this was never the vision of the Founding Fathers, but since it is not addressed in the Constitution is not an unconstitutional process.
That is one view—the one tried the most frequently by Presidents who by their own estimates didn’t get a responsive civil service working to his priorities. Presidents like Teddy Roosevelt, Franklin Roosevelt, and Dwight Eisenhower and Lyndon Johnson had great cooperation from their civil servants; they instead appointed very competent people with strong senses of fairness and leading personnel.

There were others who agreed about the consequense of the investigation but becasue Trump was probably guilty of dealing with the Russians improperly before he assumned the presidency and was mired in a hopeless tangle of business conflict of interest. To them, them curtailment of the Trump administration would be very good thing for the country so it could not have been a mistake for the nation, but for a sitting President the investigation and its aftermath mzy well prove to be a personal blunder although one that harmed Trump but benefitted the nation.
