“Let’s remember, folks, the President is there to represent the executive branch. Laws will still be passed by Congress. The public gets so wrapped around the axle with the presidential elections that they forget how our system works. Or doesn’t work, I guess.”
Your last sentence gives it all up. The system absolutely does NOT work as it is supposed to! What we have now are executive edicts from the white house and laws made up out of whole cloth by the pathetic supreme court. Congress is mostly a rubber stamp. The branch which was supposed to have almost all the real power now has next to none. Congress should have impeached Obama and several members of the court if it were serving its intended purpose. As things stand now we could replace congress with a computer.
Doesn’t mean we should continue the descent into chaos. We need a Constitutional Conservative to resurrect the idea of an informed citizenry.
Wouldn’t that be interesting? Plug the Constitution in- try every amendment & new law since & see what happens.
I would bet you that NObody would be happy. There is way too much special interest in this country.
If we’d be willing to abide by it, we’d be a lot better off. Not to mention saving an enormous amount of money & no corruption.
We really don’t *need* Congress with the technology we have. They are obsolete.
