93. OK
factually true according to our laws but realistically naive in practice. The president cannot force congress to do anything, that is true, BUT he has the power through the "bully pulpit" and using his influences to get his wishes across and to sway the people and their reps , he has not shown the leadership necessary to do what was needed.. He is not alone no one in any part of our government has shown any desire whatsoever to do what is needed to help the people.
