Sure, if the system functioned the way the Founding Fathers intended maybe someone with incredible leadership skills and solid character would be able to flourish. But as things are today, I don’t know that we would even get a chance to see what the president could really do if free to make his or her own moves. To think that what takes place in US politics is all the Preident’s doing is naive. There is so much more to it than that: so many more people, ideas, pressures and realities involved. We need more than an ideal President, we need an ideal Washington!
