If none of the decisions made by the President, or Cabinet members makes any difference — why have those offices at all? Why not just pick some random schmuck off the street to make each day’s decisions? Sure, on average half of them would make very bad decisions — but, at least, you might get some good decisions the next day.
“Sure, on average half of them would make very bad decisions “

“I’d rather entrust the government of the United States to the first 400 people listed in the Boston telephone directory than to the faculty of Harvard University.”
