I believe that in the far future congress will become the main seat of power. The speaker of the house will hold more power than the presidency,
This was how the founders intended it and how it was for many decades in American history. I don't think it will go back that way since the presidency has gathered a ton of power since FDR. The whole shtick that the president is powerless is a Democratic dance to push the blame away from doing something. Executive orders are very powerful, even if they are immediately overturned by the next administration.
I don't think they intended that. The presidency was supposed to be powerful from the start, it just wasn't supposed to be elected by popular vote, involve political parties, or touch sensitive issues at the time like slavery. The presidency is responsible for almost every landgrab in US history, congress has been the rubber stamp in the political process a lot more times than the presidency has. The presidency was supposed to be equal to congress and the supreme court, but the only thing keeping it that way was the individual restraint of the president. And when the president stepped out of line legislation would be written to keep the president from doing it again. Basically they came up with the rules as they went along.
I think eventually the power of the president will be diminished so greatly by congress that eventually the speaker of the house will become the de facto leader. I also think democrats will put more justices on the supreme court and make them party affiliated and have terms and be elected and essentially become a second senate and ammendments will become so numerous we will eventually have over 100 of them and they will be passed for the most menial of reasons like "176th ammendment: of the military budget, only x% can go to a specific company when purchasing x y and z".
The reason why I think speaker of the house will replace the president is that there's no term limits, all a person has to do is be in charge of a party and get a supermajority, I think if leftists are going to get power through legitimate means we should look at controlling the house and subverting the democratic party (because let's be honest we ain't gonna get rid of it). Of course simply overthrowing this system is an option too but that would make people angry and avoiding political violence should be a concern.

I think this system could use a balance patch.
