It is Congress who makes the laws in this country, not the President. I think about this often when engaging in political discussions with others.

We call so much attention to the executive branch of government, but we argue about things that are controlled by Congress. This same body of government is the only one truly elected by the people.

The focus must be shifted to those we vote for, and we must do more than vote. If we organize around demanding performance from our representatives, there will be much less to quarrel over.
