Here’s the bright side, we’ve had some crappy presidents before and the checks and balances system we have mostly protects us from them. Your local government has more to do with your life than the federal government so we will be just fine. It’s only four years, it’s but a car payment and i have had some crappy cars and lived to tell the tale.[/quote]
Serious question regarding checks and balances, one I really don’t know anything about (even after reading the below link):
What could a really awful president do with executive orders? The bitching about Obama’s executive orders was just partisan b.s. The same with Bush’s. Those two and, as far as I know, all previous presidents have generally had some respect for the process of government. But what if there was a president who had no such respect? A president who considered his or her opinions and desires above the process? How much damage could he do? Any constitutional scholars here?
