What’s your point?

My point is that in order to make the Constitution relevant, we need to treat it as if it were. As such, the separation of governmental powers [on the federal level] ought not be ignored. — If we were to simply say "Ha! We got our guy in office, now we can abuse the office in ways that benefit us" then we also testify, by our actions, that the Constitution is not relevant. (Much like the people who were Obama-birthers who supported Cruz last year: when confronted about it they were all too quick/happy to say things like "Obama did it, it's our turn now"… it was baffling to actually see/hear.)

That President Trump can’t get them done?

Not legitimately under the powers of the office of president. (This isn't to say he can't advocate those things, just that he cannot legitimately do them [by himself].)

He can because the American people want them, and he’ll entice, or beat, the people who can do it into submission.

So, you are advocating a mob-rule?

If that's how you view the way our system works, yes.

You nay sayers have got to begin working at a higher intellectual level.
