        I guess we'll see once again what the word "conservative" means anymore... may the court hold the line.

        Taken to the extreme, a President can fire Congress. No. We have an enshrined institution of CHECKS and BALANCES.

        Those "conservatives" make it sound like we are electing a king or dictator. I wonder if they would feel the same about a democratic president?

        It's supposed to be a balance of power between a president and Congress, not a tipped scale favoring a president/dictator over Congress.

        Replying to @MikeScarcella @NatashaBertrand

        Simple: There must be balance. If the framers of the #Consitution made one thing clear, that's what they were striving for. Investing all this power in one person is unconstitutional.

        Replying to @MaybeImALeo @MikeScarcella @NatashaBertrand

        Further: What do we do when a person with all this power, grasping desperately for more, is backed by a spineless and treasonous legislature of his own party that won't stand up to him? That's not balance. If you were writing the Constitution, what would you do about this?
