It is the President, because he exercises the country's most important jobs.
-Mobilising the Armed Forces
-Creating Diplomatic Relations
-Breaking Diplomatic Relations
-Gives orders to deploy bases
-Decides which laws will pass
-And many more

The Constitution is not a legal authority. It is more like a law to be followed

I think it's US constitution. it can not be debated, and is paramount. where as everyone else has checks and balances in place to prevent them from being too powerful.
