Why is it that a Presidential election is such a big deal? The President is intended to be the administrator of a government, faithfully executing the laws enacted by Congress. By design, and literally by name, the House of Representatives is most representative of you as an individual, so how come the Congressional elections are not bigger? SCOTUS has literally told us, in its immunity decision, that Congress is the only branch of government that can hold Presidential power in check. Do you realize that had the Senate and House had a different mix of Democrats and Republicans that this whole Presidential election would be different? All of the things that either Presidential candidate claims to do cannot be done without a law or assistance of Congress.
