I think it's saying, he'd be terrible at President-ing, but we're getting so screwed up as a country that we basically deserve to have someone that bad in a leadership position. (What goes around, comes around.) However, if we want any chance at getting better, he's really not the Prez we need...
Or at least, that was my take on it.
True, but the President isn't exactly a nonexecutive figurehead, either... He/she is a symbol of the country, is Commander in Chief of all military branches, has some of the highest security clearance in the country, plays a major role in international relations and decisions, is very influential in many circles, has the final say on any law that the quibblers want to pass, and as a last resort is the sole wielder of the Executive Power... So he/she may not always be as powerful as the combined might of Congress, thanks to the foresight of the governmental founders, but is still plenty important...
Oh, also, Congress is composed of the House of Representatives and Senate together, so saying "Congress and H. of R." is a little redundant (sorry, not trying to pick on you, just wanted to get that out there :)
In a nutshell: the president needs to be a people person with good strategy skills. We need someone more like Abraham Lincoln, who was a revolutionary thinker. We don't need someone that offends everybody and can't keep a business from going bankrupt
Very well put. Honestly, if Trump becomes President, I'm inclined to think he'll disregard rules altogether and straight up declare war on numerous nations/people groups, without consent of Congress... when he could have just used the diplomatic approach...
As far as I know, yes. That still might not stop him-- he may twist the use of executive power, or influence/pressure Congress in not quite subtle or legal ways... If he gets it in his head to do something, I'm very much afraid he'll stop at nothing to get it done.
Andrew Jackson did many great things and horrible things. He brought this country out of debt and many other economic successes. But he is also responsible for the infamous trail of tears in which roughly 10,000 native americans died mostly Cherokee, Seminole and other east coast tribes.
