I wonder if having election for every seat every 2 years would be good or bad

and really, Congress and the Senate shouldn't be doing much more than balancing the budget anyway...

I think the terms are fine.

They just need limits.

i would probably troll people and act like trump, because nobody would let me do anything anyway

The hypothetical was not being resident though

I agree that the current term lengths are fine as-is

Just consider how frustrating it is to have an opposing party in the presidency

was having sole reform power

That's indicative of just how overpowered that position is.

Its really underpowered, but still way more overpowered than it should be.

Is it?

The three branches were designed to be able to counter each other

The Presidency has the ability to abolish the government and reform it in response to any crisis anywhere.

The veto alone should be plenty in a lot of ways

Thing with executive orders too though is that next prez can just erase it

@RyeNorth you mean martial law?

There was an executive order put forward by Obama that increased the scope of presidential power.

I can't seem to find it...

I recall one where it split governance to 12 districts r something

I can't seem to find it. Tim's even mentioned it before.

Anyway, one of the main purposes for many of the government departments is to blur the lines of the constitution so that they can bypass the 10th amendment.

The FDA, for instance, wasn't something called for by the constitution.

And yet they can restrict drugs, foods, and serve as an accelerating force for the monopolization of medicine.

essentially operating as a gatekeeper.

how would you get rid of it at this point though, when everyone loves it

That's a great question! How would you get rid of something that everyone loves, NativeInterface?

i dont know, it seems we have the same problem

I've said as much.

Dictatorship?

\/s

I promise I'll only use my power until I'm done reforming the government, I swear, guys.

you have to get people to love dictatorship first, its pretty easily done with communism

🔫 🤰🏻 💵

In 10 years' time I plan to run as the first Dictator of the U.S.

Then, after 4 years, there will be a peaceful transition of power

what if you win again?

then we would have to wait 8 years

Damn

I don't think I could be a dictator for more than 4

you gotta be pretty weird to enjoy being in that role
