    Default So, what is the point of having a Congress?

    Why even have a Congress if we allow the president to respond to a refusal to give him what he wants by doing it anyway?

    There is no reason. They do not do anything. They all grandstand and accomplish nothing of substance for the people. Can them all. Kick them to the fucking curb. Start again.

    In situations like this, we should not disband congress, but maybe SUSPEND them until they undergo background checks and psychological examinations

    Wow, I am honestly surprised how many conservatives do not respect the constitution and the structure of government our forefathers built.
