    Dan McLaughlin Retweeted Sean T at RCP

    The problem is that a weaker presidency does not = a stronger Congress, but rather a stronger administrative state, courts, & other unelected & unaccountable entities.https://twitter.com/SeanTrende/status/1178282629814214657 …

    I honestly can't decide if it would be better or worse for the country if impeachment became a more frequent occurrence (as it seems to be). I lean "good" since it inevitably seems to weaken the presidency.

        I mean, I think the courts need to be stronger vis-a-vis the presidency. I'm not sure that the bureaucracy is empowered with a weaker presidency.

        We’d probably end up with someone like Robert Moses running our FoPo via a Commission he controlled

        Congress taking power back would be risky for people looking for a lifelong congressional career. They’d have to take stands on things and actually propose solutions rather than complain about problems and those solutions might shorten their career. Gross

        Also, Congress is a bunch of evil grifters too.

        Replying to @baseballcrank

        And this just makes the blame game even worse. Not only does a weak presidency yield a stronger administrative state, it then makes any real accountability that much more elusive, since it's all but impossible to know just who is doing, & therefore responsible for, what. 1/

        2/ But as w/any political power, there is "good strong" & "bad strong." Good strong is power exercised in ways that allow the people to see what's being done so they can hold politicians accountable. Bad strong is of course the opposite.

        Exactly. These fights only go one way (politically speaking) - empower an inherently left-leaning bureaucracy and leftist political-legal establishment.
