I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'a forceful person' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps there's a link between them I don't understand?

'might he entertain round america?' is the wordplay.
'might' becomes 'power' (being mighty).
'entertain' is an insertion indicator.
'round america?' becomes 'ous' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'he' going around 'ous' is 'house'.
'power'+'house'='POWERHOUSE'
