Are you very concerned about the next presidential election?

With Obama for 8 years and now Clinton or someone else they want us to choose from. What to do? This is a civil service job. Let's try and find a person that is qualified and can do something 4 us.

    I'm 70 and have made enough errors in my life.

    8 years of Obama. Thanks to the Dems.

    NO WAY am I going to gamble a possible 8 years with (as Festus on Gunsmoke put it) a she-male in the Big Chair.

    Not at all actually. After the mid term elections and the Republicans retake the Senate they will march on and retake the White House in 2016.

    I am less concerned than I have been in almost 30 years in your fine nation.....do what ANY intelligent, educated voter who is patriotic enough to own US stocks and knows a little US History would logically do...

    Vote for the Democrat for President (hold your nose if you have to!) and invest more money in US corporations!

    What do you want the president to do for you? Isn't that like Rush Limbaugh viewing Obama as "Santa Claus" in the eyes of voters?

    The presidency is only the executive position of the United States government, no more and no less. He's not a dictator, because most of what he can do requires Congressional approval.

    For him to "do something 4 us" he needs Congress. Without them, he can only sign executive orders, which (by definition) only apply to the executive branch--basically, instructions on how he wants the laws enforced, i.e. sets of procedures on how (for instance) federal hiring practices have to be carried out.

    By the way, executive orders are only good as long as they're in place, so the next president could theoretically rescind every one of his executive orders on the day he/she took office.

    Yes. Copious amounts of power and overstep of rights and freedoms has already been established by the government. The way one party seeks to resolve the ill mannered violations is by gaining control and effecting their own private interests through otherwise limited public office.

    If the house has their way, all presidential powers will be stripped from the constitution.
