It is not the responsibility of the people to represent the will of the President. It is the responsibility of the President to represent the will of the people.?

Utter BS./ What if it is the "will of the people" to abandon the constitution? What if, as the case is now, the "will of the people" is to make the prescription drug bill even larger?. What if it is the "will of the people" that we should cede our national security to the UN? The president does NOT take an oath "to the people" he takes an oath to the Constitution to, to the best of his ability, defend and protect it. It is your congressmen and women that are bound to the "will of their people". That is why The Congress never saw pork it didn't like.

Some people ask: What if it is the "will of the people" to abandon the constitution? Well the answer is very simple. Matter of fact, that is exactly how we got our constitution.
We had a constitutional convention and the WILL OF THE PEOPLE was respected.

It is apparent that our present President does not want to represent the will of the people, which is why he is losing in the polls. In this country if you don't represent our will, guess what, you don't get our vote. If in addition to that you actively act against our will, and refuse to secure our borders during a time of war, you get crushed in the election, because people don't even go out to vote at all and YOU lose the congress. YOU mister President, it is you not US who will lose, and throw away our opportunity.
