Time to bone up on your civics!

The President nominates but the Senate approves Supreme Court appointees.

And just because you disagree with rulings doesn’t mean they are “violations of the law”.

The President is also head of the executive, as in they have direct authority for all executive functions. Yes they can fire anyone they want. Trump is hardly the first to do that.

In Parliamentary systems the Prime Minister has far more power. Their party has a majority to pass whatever law they please, combined with a rubber stamp senate.
