Quote:The thing that quite a few people don't get though, is the President has very little power to implement policies that he or she wants.  The real power is within Congress.  The democrats can promise free stuff all they want, but it won't happen without Congress approving it.  Donald Trump can promise a wall and deportations all he wants, but again, it's not happening without Congress.

This is very true. But a good President can get Congress to see his/her vision and only needs the majority to say 'yay'.

 

Sadly the Congress doesn't really seem to be up to the challenge of doing their jobs. They just want to argue and throw temper tantrums when they don't get their way. Running a country is a team effort and all we seem to have are individuals who don't play well with others.
