Based on a lot of the posts I have seen, I think a lot of people are not aware of those facts, or they are choosing to ignore them in the case of Trump. I keep seeing people making claims about things that Trump will do as president, without any acknowledgment that he CANNOT do many of those things - he can propose them, he can push for them, but unless and until he can get Congress to go along, he cannot do them. And most of these same people seem gleeful with the idea that Trump will give the middle finger to the Beltway cabal, yet somehow think he will be able to get those same people to work with him...
I think Obama has proved that a President can do whatever he wants as there is no mechanism to stop him save impeachment.
And when you control the Army and the DOJ, you can arrest members of Congress that might be plotting to impeach you.
All bets are off.
Do you seriously think that Trump with the support of the people is going to let the Washingtonians stop him from doing whats necessary?
He's going to DC to destroy the politicians, not act like one of them.
Well gee then aren’t you the smart one?
Of course there are a lot of people on FR that aren’t aware.
But it’s not WHAT we inform them, it’ HOW we inform them.
Take yourself down a few notches and practice your delivery, or don’t bother me anymore.
Maybe the President can't but apparently the Vice President can or do you not remember the imposition of fees on cable/internet companies disguised as user fees to assure low cost internet to the masses. Al Gore proposed and imposed them.
