The dumbing down of society has left people thinking the POTUS is a king who can make law on a whim. If you talk to ignorant people who support Obama, they really think of the President as something like a monarch.
You speak truth, CK. It’s among the really troubling things about today’s Americans. The president is mentioned after the Congress in the Constitution, the Congress always was seen as the most powerful body, and the Executive was to be an “executor” of laws and directions set by the legislative body.
Perhaps it’s easier to think of a king than it is a “manager”, but the president is a manager and a director. That is far from monarch.
