Once the mold is set, the Presidency becomes a dictatorship

Too late. It's done. This President has gutted the constitution and the idea of representative government in this nation. For laws he doesn't like, he orders his agencies to not implement or enforce them. The congress does nothing, the courts have upheld his right to do it. For areas where he can't get a law passed, he just introduces regulations. Congress does nothing and the courts have upheld his right to do that too. There are no effective checks on Presidential power now. Even the power of the purse, which was congress' ultimate threat, has been given up; we haven't had a budget in years and everything just gets automatically funded with increases anyway. So the President doesn't need congress (as this clown has gone out of his way to prove) and he threatens the courts and they comply. What would Hugo Chavez have done differently?

The Bible says we would be punished for disobedience by having ‘children’ as our leaders. Now we see what He meant.............
