Why is every discussion of American politics dominated by the President and their administration? Congress is the part of government that effects long-lasting change, not the President. That's the part of government we need to be paying the most attention to.
- jdpedrie 9y ago> Congress is the part of government that effects long-lasting change, not the President. I don't think that's true at all. Almost all lasting change is accomplished by executive action taken in the regulatory and administrative state. Even in areas where Congress does act, it often only provides broad outlines, leaving the specifics of implementation up to the bureaucratic rule making process.
