They just need limits.

2018-08-07 04:31:23 UTC  

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

2018-08-07 04:31:49 UTC  

The hypothetical was not being resident though

2018-08-07 04:31:53 UTC  

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

2018-08-07 04:31:54 UTC  

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

2018-08-07 04:31:57 UTC  

was having sole reform power

2018-08-07 04:32:15 UTC  

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

2018-08-07 04:32:55 UTC  

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

2018-08-07 04:32:55 UTC  

Is it?

2018-08-07 04:33:08 UTC  

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

2018-08-07 04:33:39 UTC  

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

2018-08-07 04:33:49 UTC  

The veto alone should be plenty in a lot of ways

2018-08-07 04:34:20 UTC  

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

2018-08-07 04:34:52 UTC  

@RyeNorth you mean martial law?

2018-08-07 04:35:15 UTC  

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

2018-08-07 04:35:28 UTC  

I can't seem to find it...

2018-08-07 04:35:53 UTC  

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

2018-08-07 04:37:15 UTC  

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

2018-08-07 04:38:15 UTC  

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.

2018-08-07 04:38:44 UTC  

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

2018-08-07 04:39:43 UTC  

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

2018-08-07 04:39:58 UTC  

essentially operating as a gatekeeper.

2018-08-07 04:40:07 UTC  

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

2018-08-07 04:40:35 UTC  

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

2018-08-07 04:40:46 UTC  

i dont know, it seems we have the same problem

2018-08-07 04:40:59 UTC  

I've said as much.

2018-08-07 04:41:12 UTC  

Dictatorship?

2018-08-07 04:41:19 UTC  

\/s

2018-08-07 04:41:30 UTC  

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

2018-08-07 04:41:45 UTC  

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

2018-08-07 04:41:55 UTC  

🔫 🤰🏻 💵

2018-08-07 04:42:12 UTC  

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

2018-08-07 04:42:21 UTC  

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

2018-08-07 04:42:46 UTC  

what if you win again?

2018-08-07 04:43:09 UTC  

then we would have to wait 8 years

2018-08-07 04:43:14 UTC  

Damn

2018-08-07 04:43:21 UTC  

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

2018-08-07 04:43:54 UTC  

you gotta be pretty weird to enjoy being in that role

2018-08-07 04:44:29 UTC  

Give me millions of dollars when you are dictator and I will help keep the peace

2018-08-07 04:44:56 UTC  

That is a pretty good bargain

2018-08-07 04:45:06 UTC  

buy me as a contractor im the best and i promise to be honest about my pricing
