Donuel BS: Executive orders? (67* d) RE: BS: Executive orders? 29 Jan 17

A quick refresher of US government:

Our Instruction Book is the Constitution. (guys generally don't read the instructions)


We have 3 equal branches; the President, the Congress and the Supreme Court. (naturally the right likes their President more equal)


Both the Congress or President may propose new law. If Ratified by the Congress the president may sign it or veto it.

A Presidential order is like duct tape for quick fixes. It can be erased by a next President or Supreme Court.

The President gets the first word and the Court gets the last word.
Can all three get something wrong? It is possible

The President has been known to disband the congress and shut up.
That was Abraham Lincoln.

Can a dictator overcome all the safeguards provided by the Founding Fathers in the Constitution?

That is a good question.
