Neph/Fairy/it. Why the racism though?

There are supposed to be some checks and balances in place to prevent that kind of mess from happening, but I wonder how much the American people will accept before kicking them in. We will just have to wait and see. And if the time comes where those checks & balances don't work, well, I am sure that bridge will be crossed when we get there.

prevent what?

There is no check or balance to prevent idiots from becoming president. Only a check and balance to limit the idocy.

President does something wrong? Impeach (possibility of being removed and replaced with VP)

President does something unconstitutional? Supreme court can overturn the decision (also leads to impeachment)

President still acts like an idiot? Congress can refuse to fund any programs sponsored by the president.
