Democracy and Power

One amazing thing about our society has unfolded this week. The "Most Powerful Man on Earth", the President of the United States, is limited to the powers we have given him. Leaders from Florida to the White House are trying to right a wrong they see, yet they can not by royal decree, intimidation, executive orders, bribery. or any other means arbitrarily have their way.

 

I believe it is what makes our country great. Checks and balances. Even in life and death decisions.

That is a pretty amazing development. I have to give you kudos for being able to discern this through all the flotsom and jetsom surrounding this issue.
