You have to understand that in the beginning of Obama's presidency, the Democratic party controlled both Congress and the Presidency. There was no need for President Obama to use his veto power because his Congress agreed with him. That is not a broad enough spectrum to use as evidence to support that vetoes aren't used often.

EVERY law requires approval by the president. Just because something is "necessary and proper" doesn't mean the President won't agree with it. The elastic clause only protects a law from the Judicial branch.

Who needs a treaty when you can just use an Executive Agreement? It takes half the time and can accomplish twice as much. The only down-side is that it can be undone, but if it is a necessary and sensible agreement, the next president will more than likely leave it.

The President can call a government shutdown due to conflicts with the fiscal decisions of Congress. This happened in 2017 when President Trump demanded money for the wall. While it is not always successful, the President still has the power to influence Congress' spending habits.

An Impeachment would require bipartisan support which is pretty much impossible to obtain when it comes to the Presidency. Everything is so divided nowadays that even if an impeachment is started in the House, it is almost impossible for it to pass in the Senate. If impeachments rarely happened in the days of Andrew Jackson when it was encouraged and easier due to multiple parties, how do you expect it to happen in this heated two-party climate?

Congress barely overrides any vetoes of the President, and even then, the use of the Pocket Veto can shut out any chance for a veto override. President Bush did this for the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2008 which had a supermajority support in Congress. If he would have vetoed it, the veto would have been overriden, but he just pocket vetoed it instead to ensure it wouldn't go back to Congress for a vote.

The President has the power of the pocket veto which in select circumstances can completely shut Congress out of passing legislation. When the President leaves a bill sitting on his desk, it doesn't go back to Congress. If he were to veto the bill, it could go back to Congress, and the two houses could override the Veto. If the President knows that a supermajority of Congress would pass the bill, he can just leave the bill sitting there and void the opinion of Congress. This just goes to show exactly how much control the Executive branch has over the passing of laws.

The Executive is quicker and more effective than Congress. Using Executive orders and agreements, the President can enact rules and regulations in a fraction of the time it takes Congress. The President also doesn't have to seek approval from Congress for these Executive acts. In order for Congress to pass a law, it has to overcome the different opinions of 535 people in the two houses and STILL has to be approved by the president. Congress is extremely slow because not only are there two houses but two PARTIES that are constantly fighting over what the "proper" solution to a given problem is. Meanwhile, the Executive could have passed dozens of orders and agreements to accomplish practically the same things. The Executive also has control of the military which he can use to enforce the orders and agreements he enacts. Sure, there is the War Powers Resolution, but it is only a parchment barrier at this point. Every President has said it is unconstitutional and they never adhere to it for any conflict. Even current trends have been showing the power of the executive order. More executive orders have been used recently than ever before, and Congress continues to pass less and less legislation as the years pass. These continuing trends just continue to show how obsolete the Legislative branch is in the current political climate.
