    The Founders expected presidents to try and abuse their power. But they didn't expect Congress to be okay with it.

        The thing is, they never envisioned the President's being this powerful. There's been HUGE sea shift in balance of power btw Exec & Cong ...

        Yup. In part because they didn't expect Congress to give up so much power so willingly.

        Exactly. And ordinary Prez who's elected by a major/plur of voters has kind of democ legit/account that Cong doesn't. Trump = the exception.

        Exactly! Repubs in the House/Senate have consistently failed Americans since Clinton was in office. Their apathy serves Trump well.#PaulRyan

        And Republicans must be the first to go after Trump is removed. All but 1 or 2 of them must be voted out of office. @GOP must end.

        A proper jealousy of each of their powers would keep the other branches maintaining the checks on the others.

        Direct election of Senators has neutered the Congress and short circuited the intent of the Founders.

        I'm increasingly inclined to agree. The Senate becomes more like a smaller version of the House, w/same pressures.

        Senators look to he reelected and look after their own interests. It was intended they would look after the interests of their states

        States that do tend to get slapped down by a hyper-federalist judiciary.

        In the 18th c. sense of the phrase? I'm relatively so; very much for state power. Might have been an Antifederalist in 1789.
