Our Founding Fathers created the Executive Branch to implement and enforce the laws written by Congress, and vested this power in the president.

I think the Founding Fathers probably knew what they were doing in setting up the government to have a healthy tension between the executive branch and the legislative branch.

The executive branch maneuvered this result deftly.

Congress is functioning the way the Founding Fathers intended-not very well. They understood that if you move too quickly, our democracy will be less responsible to the majority.

Maintaining checks and balances on the power of the Judiciary Branch and the other two branches is vital to keep the form of government set up by our Founding Fathers.

In the executive branch, winning by a whisker is as good as winning in a landslide, but not so in the Senate.
