Did the POTUS say he wants less checks and balances?

Lawmakers on different committees hold bills hostage so that other bills get killed, get enough votes, don't get to the floor, etc. Some truly outstanding bills never make it out of committee at the state and federal level just because a committee chair (or enough of the committee together) can't get what they want.

If that's what Trump is referencing, I'm all for a change there. The idea of a committee is to weed out redundant or pointless proposals as a way to cut down on wasted time. And they do that. But the by product is a handful — or sometimes a single lawmaker — with the ability to manipulate all of Congress.

Do you think that is better or worse than the POTUS running the country like his business?
