This is a contradiction because you are saying the President has little effect but then say he does.

You are incorrect to say that the President has little effect. However, I agree with you that often times, the following President has to clean up the after-effects of the previous President. For example, Clinton was a good President from an economic stand-point, but he was also aided by a tremendous bubble that popped about when he left office, and the after-math effected the Bush Presidency, though Bush had nothing to do with the collapsing bubble.
