    act like it’s not a real thing.

    or they think it is “real” but would never get through congress because “congress are too divided on everything”, while also complaining that the president has too much executive overreach…

    Like… do they even hear themselves? Hitler didn’t wait for the parliament to grant him power, he just declared it… and everyone just went with it.

      Really shows that checks on government actions only works when the checks do something and have the power to act on it.

      This is something inherent in Parliament based governments. In theory, the Prime Minister is suppose to be held accountable by their own political party. However, in reality the Prime Minister’s party just goes with whatever the Prime Minister says.
