The founding fathers recognized that there was much more danger in the presidency taking absolute power than the courts or the Congress. All three have those risks though, which is why there are checks on all three. SOmetimes the courts do effectively make laws (Roe v. Wade, as someone mentoned elsewhere in this thread), and have some enforcement power (passing sentences, holding people in contemp). But Washington and other founding fathers realized there was a greater danger in the chief executive. Washington likely could have had more power had he wanted it, but he realized the danger to the country in that.
