No. Bills are made by Congress. The President could veto along party lines and turn a Republic into a monarchy for 4 years.Yes for a number of reasons.
Items could no longer be bundled into a bill to get them passed.
It would force lawmakers and the president to actually read a bill before passing it.
It would force the president to stand on his word. no more excuses that he had to pass the bill because of the priority of other items in the bill.
Congress could override the President's veto so there would be no long term effect.

This Republic was set up so that people would be represented in the process. Turning that job over to one person--you might as well call such legislation as "Kingmaker footshoot bill" because we'd end up with a truly chaotic government system. That plays well with anarchists, but not with every day people who just want to do their own jobs and live their own lives.
It's just not a well-thought idea. Failure to have representation in a governing body is what started the American Revolution.
Been there, done that, got the Liberty Bell T-Shirt.
