When 40% of our people live in chronic economic anxiety, something has gone terribly wrong. Trump didn’t create the problem; he’s a product of it. That’s why we have to do more than prosecute a case against Trump; we have to prosecute a case against the system that produced him.

Wow, hello there Miss Williamson. I must admit I'm taken aback by your response. The presidency is the highest executive office in the land, executive power being the most agile and effectual that there is. Congress and the Judiciary can only respond and delay.
They are co-equal branches of government. Our system was specifically designed so there is not in fact one centralized power.

They are supposed to check each other, yes, but I have watched the office of the Presidency morph into quite a unilateral monster, especially in the wake of 9/11. Bipartisan obstructionism in Congress has only hardened that monster.

I don’t entirely disagree, particularly with this president. Just making a distinction between what has happened to the system and how it was actually designed.
