"As an exercise for the student: if, say, Kerry were president with a strong Republican House and Senate what would actually happen?"

ACLU-type liberal activist Judges would get into the Supreme Court, like happened under Clinton.

We'd let our guard down again vis a vis terrorism and anti-American threats, as we did under Clinton.

And the administration would continue the degradation of our culture, as we also saw under Clinton. Kerry would effectively block any attempt to stop the legal push to invent same-sex marriage.

And any efforts that George Will speaks of to reform our Liberal Welfare state into a choice-based system of provision of health,education and retirement, will be a dead letter. And that would be a shame. It's about time we fixed these old one-size-fits-all programs and updated them for the 21st century. Democrats in power would stymie that for another generation.

Sure, it's wonderful the Republican Congress of 1995-2000 worked to balance the budget, but the political evolution over that era had far more negative events than the progress we see in 2003 (tax cuts, partial birth abortion ban, other conservative-changes-in-direction).

"Keep in mind that the President is not a king."

Keep in mind that a Liberal President is treated as one by the press.

No, I think that that old constitutional deference is dead. The 'Rats have killed it, and the Congressional Republicans would respond to liberal appointees by driving stakes through their hearts one after another.
