I have often thought that Congress could be said to have more power, as they can change the scope of SCOTUS and impeach the POTUS, among other curbs they have on the other branches. They just don’t realize it.
“Just don’t realize it”
Possibly; but I think they get set in their ways and don’t want to ruffle feathers. They have become friends with the dems and I really don’t think they fully see them as part of the problem. Boehner spent years playing pool with the dems .. because he could smoke at the pool parlor. Sadly, I believe it has tainted him. It may take him some more phone calls and letters before he gets his act together.
You are correct in your assessment of the Congress. They really do have a lot of power .. they just don’t have the courage to use it. I know it’s hard to have a media who always chews you up over everything you do .. but it’s time to grow a thicker skin and just get your job done.
It’s still too much of an “old boys club” .. and the repubs need to understand that today’s citizens are not going to put up with such juvenile actions.
