And the senate has the power to approve or not approve suprem court justice. They should use that power as well. The president can propose who he wants, if the senate does not like them they should not approve them. And voting in a congress that is opposssed to the president is voting to take his powers away. Its the check and balances. We couldnt vote Obama out, but we could vote for people who mitigate his power by not enactiing or writing legislature that he would want. its the whole point of not having a king, but a system of checks and balances.

Sorry but the checks and balance system went out the window when they 'tried' to repeal the ACA for like the 50th tome. Thats not sound or logical or a good use of taxpayer money.  It the type of shit that makes you wonder why we pay taxes at all.

Its what I want the senate to do. You may think its a bad idea, but i think Obamacare is a bad idea. So the checks and balances seem to be working fine, no one is getting what they want, and everyone is unhappy.
