    I think “most” people do NOT understand those ramifications. Maybe 33% of the population does, 33% think and want the president to be a dictator, and 34% don’t pay attention to anything at all.

      Failure to pay attention in civics class cannot possibly be the fault of a presidential candidate.

      Also, presidents and presidential candidates do a ton of campaigning for both their own candidacy as well as for down ballot candidates in an effort to achieve these things. They’re only advertising their intentions and priorities. That’s your it has worked since the beginning of American democracy

        Yeah but making promises abojt things you’ll do as President, that you can’t do as President, is the fault of a Presidential candidate.

      Sure, OP is demonstrating that quite clearly, although as usual the goal is just to bash Biden (as if Trump would do any of this).

      Derp, what’s a legislative branch?
