Doesn’t that mean it is in most politicians’ favour to install as impotent and manipulable president as possible? Doing so removes a check/ balance against them self?

You want a President with charisma and strong personality who can unite the party and move legislation forward. Even though it's the responsibility of Congress to advance legislation, they have abdicated that (the useless gits!) and depend on the President to lead the charge, to unite the wings and to hammer out a compromise. This is why the President is always involved in forming the legislation instead of just enforcing it like he's supposed to according to the Constitution.
The Congresscritters depend on passing legislation they can crow about back home how effective they are so they get re-elected. They need a strong President to make that happen.
Also, the President usually serves as the Party leader so you need some strength there too.
