I’m very confused. The president can’t know the composition of Congress during the campaign because all of the Reps are on the same ballot as the president. Are you saying prospective candidates should always say “If I’m elected and we have the house and Senate I will…” to cover their asses? I think most people understand those ramifications.
I think “most” people do NOT understand those ramifications. Maybe 33% of the population does, 33% think and want the president to be a dictator, and 34% don’t pay attention to anything at all.
I think, this may make for an interesting art-statement, adding a page long disclaimer to everything a candidate says. I don’t think it will work out well, on the other hand

Sure, OP is demonstrating that quite clearly, although as usual the goal is just to bash Biden (as if Trump would do any of this).
Derp, what’s a legislative branch?
A simple modifier like “I’ll push for…” would have covered his ass a lot.
Not to cover their asses, but to push more people to vote not just for them, but for their party all down the ticket.
