Oh, I don't think that's true.

It's 100% true; one needs only read what is posted.

I think that we do realize that no matter who wins the Presidential election, most of the nation's policies and priorities have been and continue to be set by Congress. Congress controls the budget and all the nation's laws - and establishing and governing the agencies that implement those laws.

A famous statesman that 99% of this board voted for said the following:

I've got a pen and a phone, and if Congress won't act, I will. <-- Say, who was that guy?

The President doesn't have the Constitutional authority to just do what he wants anyway, simply because he prefers to focus only on the election he won and not the 215 elections his party lost in the House or the 17 they lost in the Senate.

And no one is contesting this.
