In one day, a president cannot do much. He can sign or veto any bills that may be on his desk, but on any given day this probably wouldn't give him a lot of power. He can issue executive orders, they don't mean much because they can be repealed the next day, and besides congress makes the laws.

 

The most power a president could have in only one day on the job would be to issue pardons. I might do that, but I would have to first find somebody I wanted to pardon.

 

The President can launch a military strike without the consent of Congress, and can do so for three months without asking Congress to declare war or sanction the strike.

The War Powers Resolution of 1973 (50 U.S.C. 1541–1548) was a United States Congress joint resolution providing that the President can send U.S. armed forces into action abroad only by authorization of Congress or if the United States is already under attack or serious threat.

 

It is generally agreed that the commander-in-chief role gives the President power to repel attacks against the United States and makes the President responsible for leading the armed forces. In addition and as with all acts of the Congress, the President has the right to sign or veto congressional acts, such as a declaration of war.

He can only launch a military strike if the United States itself, was under attack. He can't just say, WHAT DID THAT RUSSIAN KID ON YOUTUBE SAY? NUKE!

"Generally agreed" Isn't a rule, its a precedent, and those can be broken, quite easily. Also there is no law that a President against an incompetent or morally corrupted President, so long as he can prove he is sane.
