I’m really just confused by the whole question and how decide what’s the most important power.
The Powers of the President
According to Article II of the Constitution the President has the following powers:
Serve as commander in chief of the armed forces
Commission officers of the armed forces
Grant reprieves and pardons for federal offenses (except impeachment)
Convene Congress in special sessions
Receive ambassadors
Take care that the laws be faithfully executed
Wield the "executive power"
Appoint Cabinet officials, White House staff and Supreme Court justices

In my view, the most important power is to be sure the laws are followed.
