LOL...I think you misunderstand what I say, due to the US government balance of power, US president can do a whole lot of thing, but one way or another the president him or her self does not have sole power or executive power on virtually anything.
US president can issue executive order, but unless that order is under the scope of US constitution, the order still need congress approval...
Executive order - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
President is indeed the Commander In Chief, and he can issue mobilisation order and mobilise the Armed Force, but then he again need to turn to the senate and congress for funding, the president can indeed order the armed force to go anywhere in the world and do whatever, but without congress release the fund, who pay for the mobilisation?

President can nominate AG, General and Admiral of the Armed Force, commissioning officer of the Armed Force but then the nomination and appointment have to be endorsed/confirmed by the US senate

Being able to nominate is one thing, can the nominee get the job is another.
Well, then the pardon thing is the executive power, and no, US President are allow to conduct diplomacy, not conduct foreign policy, those are the job of State Department. Diplomacy, however, ia the job of US President.
Read the highlighted part in Red or blue, you will understand what I am trying to say
By the way, I was a captain of the US Army and had i not get medical diacharge from afghanistan, i would have been a LTC by now, some of my friend work in the pent in direct support of senate armed forces committe...They are either full bird or LTC.
But then i am welcome to critism if you think I an wrong about anything I said
Obviously Presidential appointments need Senate approval, but that is still considered an executive power because the Senate can only approve from the people the President selects. As for executive order that grants the President the sole power to enforce a rule or regulation that is constitutional. Also executive orders have the power of law (that's called executive power).

The President can militarily unilaterally act in situations of imminent danger to national security. As for who pays for it? Its in the military budget. Any prolonged campaign would require Congressional approval and funding.

That is incorrect and you also just contradicted yourself. President can conduct diplomacy but not foreign policy? Diplomacy is critical part of foreign policy. Also you obviously don't understand foreign policy is conducted by the President and the bureaucracy he has is the State Department lead by the Secretary of State who is a presidential Appointment of his choosing (approved by the Senate) and a member of the President's cabinet, which he is in CHARGE OF.
You also seem to be forgetting the president has the right to make and sign treaties without Congressional approval but the Senate has right to give "Advice and Consent", that is another executive power and example of how the President has power in conducting foreign relations. That is called power to conduct foreign relations. President can also make "executive agreements" with foreign nations without ratification from Congress, that's why Congress is p'oed about Pres. Obama's nuclear deal with Iran, they don't have power to stop him by law.
You should read the Constitution Article II. Matter of fact, read the whole thing.
Point is you foolishly said the President has no executive sole power besides the veto, that's not what the U.S. constitution says. I just gave you so many examples of executive power besides the veto.
