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

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

That is a pretty good bargain

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

"It is a well-known fact that those people who must want to rule people are, ipso facto, those least suited to do it... anyone who is capable of getting themselves made President should on no account be allowed to do the job."

i thought it was jr tolkien

He may have said something similar

I said that quote 😃

Jk

Washington set the standard because he really didn't want to be leader anymore

Didn't really want to do it in the first place either

The people wanted to make Washington a king
