It's funny how people think that Presidents/Prime Ministers are actually the ones who control the country. Then sit there and blame that person when it all goes wrong.
Because you know, if you live in a Democratic country then that person is just a face, your senators/representatives/congressman are the ones who are "ruining peoples lives".
Democracy is just a bunch of power hungry morons trying to find ways to fatten their own wallets.

They can make executive decisions without approval and veto anything that flies by... I think you're referring to the Monarchs in Europe...
-
Vetoes can and have been overridden by congress and executive orders have checks to them as well. The supreme court can also have a say in presidential doings. The founding fathers balanced all three branches pretty well.

Congress can't agree on shite, how do you suppose you'll get 2/3rds to agree?
-
They'll agree to anything important enough to their corporate masters. Every one of them is bought and paid for. Yay capitalism! In before flaming, capitalism and democracy are NOT the same thing.

Take a good long look at how much PACs and special interest groups donate to congressional campaigns....do you really think that doesn't figure into what bills get proposed, or voted on? Certainly you aren't naive enough to think they are honestly interested in representing YOUR interests? Their loyalty lies with those funding the last, or next, election campaign. I guess if I could make 200k+ benefits for doing largely nothing, I might be tempted too.
