President Reagan did not have a Republican Congress-----that did not happen until his second term .

As President he did have the important powers you noted for a President--------

"veto
executive orders
recess appointments
supreme court nominations ( If the Dems stonewall a replacement for Ginsburg
just let the seat go vacant)
Bully pulpit
Cabinet appointments
Commander of the armed forces"

And, I would add an outstanding cabinet that he had worked with as Governor of California.
