The video cameras will pay off the next time a
power hungry sociopath like Bill Clinton attains highest office.

Keep in mind that there is a difference between
parliamentary government and ours.  The president
is both leader of government and head of state.
The prime minister is merely the member of
parliament elevated by his party to run government.
Since s/he does not represent that state (that is
the Queen's function) it is much easier to get
rid of a PM, usually by a vote of no confidence.
The tsunami of removing an impeached president
from office, as we have seen, is very difficult.

Imagine having an elected president who, first of all, is not afraid to use FBI files and the IRS against his enemies and, secondly, has video of any individual citizen he wants.

But until then, we'll just make faces at the cameras, or maybe give them the finger. That'll show 'em!
