Funny, but I recall that to be a topic discussed when I was in school and Harry Truman was President, and Woodrow Wilson and events in the year 1913 were what was being talked about.Beginning under Bush, accelerating under Obama and culminating in Trump, the executive branch of the government has seized more power for itself. Now the legislature is rendered useless, and the judiciary toothless, can and should the government have separation of powers?
What the US has that is creating governance issues is competing legislative branches. That's a situation that never fails to bring about government disfunction.Beginning under Bush, accelerating under Obama and culminating in Trump, the executive branch of the government has seized more power for itself. Now the legislature is rendered useless, and the judiciary toothless, can and should the government have separation of powers?
@OrphanSlug has correctly hit the nail on the head.Beginning under Bush, accelerating under Obama and culminating in Trump, the executive branch of the government has seized more power for itself.

No, we're not even close to being an autocracy. Truth be told, we just voted one out.

Maybe it's time you turned both back on - cuz this has absolutely nothing to do with FOX and your comment absolutely nothing to do with reality.
