Throughout history, these types have been very frustrated by the checks and balances of republican government. The tension of monarchy, aristocracy and democracy, the one, the few and the many, battling each other, and further the tension of the legislative, executive and judicial, with further checks by the people through the states.

Which is exactly why it was set up this way, so that power checks power, passion checks passion, and interest checks interest, "so that it may be a government of laws and not of men."

OH, THE IRONY OF IT ALL Obama, the man who campaigned on his alleged Constitutional expertise, did not perceive that the mechanism of the bicameral Congress and the three branches of government, would impede reckless agendas, such as his.

I guess Obama "forgot" that the Founders (who lived under tyranny) constructed our govt to smack down tyranny whenever it raised its ugly head. The Founders' attention to this detail actually worked.

And those who are not aware of this human roadblock continue to criticize “Congress” for “doing nothing.” Thus the propagandists have it both ways: they get to hold up good legislation and then criticize the people who are trying to pass it for not doing anything.

Truly worthy of Lewis Carroll.
