dándoles la libertad

Is this the correct way to say: My ideal President will empower people by giving them freedom to pursue happiness.

Mi Presidente ideal será capacitar a las personas, dándoles la libertad de perseguir la felicidad.

Or is it more correct to use the word "dándose"?

As always, thank you for the support.

Well, I would use the subjunctive form, but it is not necessary:

Mi Presidente ideal sería aquel que fortaleciera a las personas, dándoles la libertad de perseguir la felicidad.

With no subjubctive:

Mi Presidente ideal será aquel que fortalezca a las personas, dándoles la libertad de perseguir la felicidad.

As you wrote:

Mi Presidente ideal fortalecerá a las personas, dándoles la libertad de perseguir la felicidad.

There are many ways to say it, but the translation of empower is not clear for me.
