The true role of a president in the U.S. government
#10
So when the framers wrote the Constitution they saw Congress as the focus. Congress was the government. We didn't see the expansion of the executive branch until the New Deal, really. So if the primary body of government was to rest with Congress and now it is not there, should we reevaluate our current political structure?
