    Does anyone really know who's running America ?

    The US Senate voted on Tuesday to expand economic sanctions on Syria and to condemn President Donald Trump for announcing a full US troop withdrawal from that country, passing Bill S.1 by 77 votes to 23.......does the US President have any authority ? Face the facts , Syria is a lost cause for America , same as Afghanistan.

    Power in the US is shared between the three branches of government. The Executive was designed to be rather weak. However now that we have a bureaucratic state (regulatory authority through the executive agencies) the president has more power. The Senate is free to pass whatever bill or resolution they wish. Whether it becomes law or not is more complicated.

    Umm no it won't answer his question. It will merely tell him who is SUPPOSED to be running America which has little to do with who IS running America

    It is sufficient to know that you are not.

    Do try to master punctuation. Pay attention! There is no space between a word's final letter and the punctuation mark that follows it. An ellipsis is three dots, like this "..." to represent omitted words. The ellipsis is not intended to be used as a replacement for a period at the end of a sentence.
    Call your state legislators and insist they approve the Article V convention of States to propose amendments.


    I pledge allegiance to the Constitution as written and understood by this nation's founders, and to the Republic it created, an indivisible union of sovereign States, with liberty and justice for all.
