Quote:And it's become more true with every presidency since. Obama is just the icing on the cake. The move to consiladate power to the executive branch has been a consistent push to the point now the executive branch is creating law not just enforcing it.

It's a known fact that Progressives like Woodrow "Stinking" Wilson (as my US history teacher refers to him), wanted to make Congress function more along the lines of British Parliament. Obama wants to take it a step further and be more like the Venezuelan National Assembly. Where the President of Venezuela can remove, or even arrest assembly members for gross incompetence and stagnation.

 

 

Now I think everyone here agrees that Congress frankly sucks right now and has been very ineffective over the last few years, but we still have a Constitution to abide to.
