The President's Power, Too Much or Too Little?

Writer: Andy PateAndy Pate

Can the Judiciary and the Congress of the USA, as currently functioning, stop the President from doing whatever he wants?


Apparently not. They have not done so for a long while; and in fact, in recent years, the Judiciary has granted more power to the presidency, not less, while at the same time, reducing its own.


And Congress has pretty much given up its Constitutional task of serving as a balancing act between the Judiciary and the President.


Thus, one ought not be surprised that co-dictators Musk and Trump, who together presently occupy the presidency, think they can do pretty much whatever they want.


Here, we are! With no wish whatsoever to be misunderstood.


And from where we sit, most of the talk we hear from Democrats is without much substance. They simply have done nothing of import to challenge either Musk or Trump.


Thus, let it be no surprise to anyone: Musk and Trump fully intend to extend their leadership far beyond the 2008 limited Trump by the 22nd amendment.


Indeed, Musk and Trump have already shown their hand, at least to those with reality-perceiving minds. They flaunt Congress, and literally, have the Supreme Court in their hands; whatever they do, in the long run, the Supreme Cout is ready to justify and support


So, what are we to do?


Well, we've already indicated that we cannot look to either Congress or the Judiciary for help in controlling our two dictators.


Which leaves us with ourselves, the Voters. If the current dictatorship is to be thrown out and future dictatorships avoided, we the people must show our power.


And we can. We can by:


Voting in every election to purge from office anyone who even appears to be a supporter of the current regime.


Secondly, we can make our voices known: online, in conversation, on Facebook, wherever we can voice our opinion; and


Lastly, we can, oh yes, we can, refuse to support in any way Musk and/or Trump while we are also refuting to support their cohorts.
