America's "Selected" Fuhrer

Excerpt:
"Under the terms and conditions set forth in the Constitution – ostensibly the document that is the literal “letter of the law” – the president is supposed to be an administrator. Some whose job it is to – as the Constitution puts it – see that the laws are faithfully executed.
This is rather different than decreeing them – as for example via what are styled “executive orders.”
The Constitution says Congress shall write the laws, the idea being that congressmen are elected and there are a lot of them, rather than just one president. He is of course also elected, but in a manner that effectively renders each vote meaningless as one out of millions has the same effect as a drop of water on the depth of the ocean.
Senators – the other half of Congress – were once elected by the legislatures of the various states, with the idea being that this would counterbalance the democracy the men who wrote the Constitution dreaded and for that reason sought to check.
But the point – as regards this essay – is that it is Congress that was given authority under the Constitution to write the laws. Not the president.
And yet he does.
He has become, for all practical purposes, the National Lawgiver. It is why presidential elections are the ones most people do pay attention to, for they understand that whomever is elected will be the one telling them what they’ll be doing – as well as what they are not allowed to do – not merely for the next four or eight years but possibly for the remainder of their lives."

This power structure is what the Revolutionary War was about.
To eliminate the power of a Monarch to destroy the liberty and lives of innocent people.
The situation in America is now much worse than it was when our forefathers fought a war to throw off the chains imposed by a tyrant.
America now has a secretive Deep State who thrives on war and has maintained a state of undeclared war for the past 70 years, wasting the lives, fortunes, and sacred honor of millions of Americans in order to enrich and make powerful that tiny gang of thugs.
DC is corrupt beyond redemption.
NIFO.

This is ultimately human nature in my opinion. We just don't do well when we govern each other. It is in fact a neccessary evil. Definitely evil, but maybe, idealistically, not neccesary. Always the social climbing scum sociopathic looters climb the ladder and stand on the shoulders of the innocent or decent people. Hasn't it been like this for all of human history? Emperors, Kings, Presidents...If The People ever get fed up enough and discharge discipline against these scum, well then we'll be in another kind of hell. Because probably we'll be discharging discipline against each other until there's nothing left. Maybe the human race is a genetic experiment, like Star Trek III, some intelligent entity shot a rocket with a strand of DNA in it and it landed in the Atlantic Ocean, and BOOM here we are, and the experiment is kind of doomed it seems. Who knows. Maybe things can get better. Maybe the human race can last a while longer without destroying each other. "Life always finds a way" to continue. I can't believe that God or whomever set this amazing world up meant for it to destroy itself. But then the Law of Entropy suggests that nothing lasts forever.

If you have any interest in video games with a historical bent, I recommend the game
Europa Universalis III (EU3) and EU4. I learned much of what that video displays
and more by playing EU3 some years ago (albeit with a lot more time invested.)
Its old enough now that you may find the PC version available for free download.
