There's a very common trend of a president campaigning on something and then never delivering as president.
I don't think we'd see much difference in terms of corruption though if Trump was elected by people or congress. The heads of agencies and etc were all confirmed by congress and those agencies are turning a blind eye.
- OutOfHere 1y agoOK but I was referring not to his election but to the significant post-election power that he has. If much of this power were to be stripped from his role, then yes he would be hamstrung, but any damage would also be limited.
- lesuorac 1y agoOk, but then he's appointed Prime Minister as well as elected to President and nothing changes? Like the current congress could impeach him whenever they wanted. The fact that they don't (and voted for BBB) is enough proof to me that they'd vote him as prime minister.
- OutOfHere 1y agoVoting him as their leader is very different from him getting to make all the policy decisions, in contrast with Congress making those decisions.
