They either pass or kill said bills. Happens everyday. But well go with your logic. Lets get rid of congress and the courts. Well have 1 guy( Hitler, Mussolini, Stalin etc etc) that will lead the country and do anything he wants. Cant go to court to fight it either since they will be gone. Does that really sound like something you would want? Our system even with its flaws it works. i wouldnt want any president to enact any laws without some kind of discussion.

You do know that a benevolent dictatorship is the most efficient government known to man...and others? And it has known to show growth, prosperity and happiness.

RUFUS is 100% correct (about dictatorships)...and most people do not have the slightest idea...that if you met 'Hilter' he would be the most 'moralistic' (though possibly not yours) man that you would ever meet.... just sayin.... But in response to the topic at hand...no, we need the whole 'checks and balances' thingy....what we REALLY need is a more efficient congress and senate, and how we accomplish that I'm not sure....maybe 2 yr terms or even one year...the whole idea of experience is not an issue for those that do well enough to get (re)elected...and it seems on surface to be a more efficient 'swamp drainer'..... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
