re: #17 stabby

And if Americans are too derped to ever do that?

If the right stays the right and keeps the house forever what happens?

If you can answer my question, then answer it.

I’ll take a stab at this (heh). If one part of the government stops functioning, another part will step up. If Congress can’t keep the government running, the executive branch will.

Example: Congress is supposed to declare war. But usually they don’t want to. So the President does it instead (perhaps calling the war a police action or some such). When legislatures can’t agree on redistricting plans, the courts do it.
