“But over time, the executive branch grew exceedingly powerful. Two world wars emphasized the president’s commander in chief role and removed constraints on its power. By the second half of the 20th century, the republic was routinely fighting wars without its legislative branch, Congress, declaring war, as the Constitution required. With Congress often paralyzed by political conflict, presidents increasingly governed by edicts.”

    Because even after the facts are laid bare, you still seem unable to take any responsibility for it and we all pay (the world) for the mistakes the people of the USA make

      Brother, I didn’t do shit. I’ve been vehemently against Trump since 2015. Do you blame Vladimir the grocery store clerk for Putin?

      Kinda shitty to assume all Americans are responsible. There’s a lot of people here who tried to keep this stuff from happening and fought against it, and still are. If it’s not cool to paint the French with a broad brush it isn’t cool to do that to everyone in the US.
