I would not encourage the Presidency having the power and authority to tell congressmen what to do. He already acts enough  like a dictator, though I understand the spirit of the idea.
The petition alone does not actively grant any powers to the president, but it does reinforce the idea in his own mind that he is "in charge" of everything (including congress) and has a mandate to exercise authority over them. It's a thing of encouraging him vs dissuading him.
Excludes the president from having to wear anything, therefore it's not complete. Also the idiot who made the petition dosent realize that Senators ARE Congressmen. Makes me sad.
