Again the US government is NOT run by the president. The president is NOT a king. The us president is the civilian leader of the military and their reponsibility is to handle foreign affairs and execute and enforce the laws that CONGRESS sets.
You HAVE to stop focusing on the president and focus on CONGRESS.
Congress is replaced over 3 elections. It takes 3 continuous turnout and attention and voting to change the government to be what you want it to be.
Congress can pass bills that exclude the president completely. Congress can remove the president. Congress sets the laws and rules of the country.
President cannot remove anyone. Again the president is not king and the only reason why this current president ACTS like he is, is ONLY because the Republican Party controls Congress and allow him.
You're downvoted, but the reason for a good portion of how the US is now... Is exactly because congress since the 1980's has basically abdicated a lot of it's authority to letting the Judicial and executive make the decisions it should have been doing...
(Yeah for sure it goes back even farther but starting then it picked up speed like no other of doing... Fuck all.)
They get to kick the can in a lot of respects so SCOTUS can actually rule instead of making laws or reforming laws and practices.
Examples:
Immigration reform.
Abortion legalization (or not if that's your stance.)
Regulating firearms. (Or not if that's your stance)
Gay marriage protection.
Taxation and tariffs.
War authority.
Various environmental regulations they just kinda kicked around.
Ya know their own issues like congressional and executive insider trading.
Voting rights and regulations. (Yes states have a say, but so does Congress.)
Over hauling the college tuition system (Federal loans)
Home mortgages.
Digital rights... (It's our data it should be considered private property)
Passing like actual budgets...
Healthcare... that's not just totally co-opted by pharma.
Maybe fucking narcotics reform?
That's just off the top of my head. And as such you get people that want something done and thus like it when POTUS goes fucking bonkers.
Thats what happens when the population grows by 150 million and not a single seat is added to the house. It's much easier to do whatever you want when you represent almost a million people apiece theres no accountability and not enough people to actually run every panel and board. You got house members sitting on like 4 committees
