[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I mean, what do they even do these days? They apparently dont control appropriations, they dont control the war powers, they can't get their act together to pass legislation, people straight up ignore their subpoenas. Congress is basically decorative at this point. We live under the rule of a dictator and his oligarchs. [/quote] Exactly this. And unfortunately it will be extremely difficult if not impossible to claw back the authority they once had. Even in we elect a Democratic POTUS, it will continue to be a unitary executive. [/quote] Have been thinking about this. It’s clear that we need to improve the model. A first step would be term limits. The idea of randomly selecting citizens to serve (think this was done in Ancient Greece??) is also appealing but seems difficult to implement. And legislate away citizens united. [/quote]
