5. You are right....
He does not have to.... There is no balance of power. The group that controls the president also controls most of Congress.

But what would we do?? Well, we have done nothing so far about an incredibly long list of constitutional abuses and abuses of power. It is like we are living in George Orwell's 1984. We are the compliant ones. There would be protests and some riots. People would complain and gripe like they do on here all the time. If it gets to that point though there is not much we could do.

Therefore; now is the time to take action. We have to make a statement in the next election and get real people in there instead of puppets. I realize that I am about as mad as I have ever been and as scared as I have ever been and for the first time in my life I have decided to do something about it. I am going to work to get progressives elected and I am going to let loose of some cash as well to do this. Outside of informing family and friends of the danger of these kinds of people this is all I can think of to do for now.
