I am fully aware that there are people in this country who will disagree with my statement of both facts and opinion in my original post here. I do respect those who present valid contrary points, yet am bemused that you fail to even attempt to dispute my key points.....

Clearly, our system of government has obvious flaws and failings.

I have already explained the failing of this incarnation of the U.S. Supreme Court.

Congress has become a roadblock for any legislation that attempts to make life better for the majority of Americans. Its members, both in the Senate and House are more concerned about pleasing their true financial benefactors, the lobbyiests who represent the major industries in our country, not the constitutents who voted them into office. They are only interested in perpetuation a facade of public service while reaping all the rediculous perks for them and their families, (i.e. healtcare for life, etc.).

I agree with others who have recommended the ideal of imposing term limits to all member of Congress and the U.S. Supreme Court. I would even suggest that the POTUS be only able to serve one (1) 6-year term in office with no ability to ever run for that office again. It would save much time and effort and money and allow that person to focus on the challenging job for their entire term.

While I am not directing this to you....ultimately, it is unfortunate, but it is my opinion that it is pointless attempting to have a civil discussion or even a debate with some people in this forum who are unable to clearly articulate one or more valid points, or stoop to beligerent and unfounded personal accusations.... But alas, that is the sad reality of what most social media has devolved into and Xoutpost is not imune to it....
Though with the list of those that want to run for president I would have a hard time with six years of a Trump clone. Suppose Ted Cruz or Jim Jorden was elected president. If the term went to one six year term I would like to see more qualifications required to run for President. I see your point of leadership continuity but based on the dysfunctional operation of the government to get anything done both the house and senate would have to be of the same party. Bipartisan voting is almost instinct. I listen to many congressional so called debates. More often than most of the time is spent slamming the other party rather than any attempt to get something done.
