It took many decades for power to bleed from the other branches to the Executive. Both parties played a role in this (and everyone liked things like executive orders and signing statements when their side was doing them), but that gets us HERE. Remember Schoolhouse Rock "I'm just a bill"? Outdated.

What a disappointing time. I know we will fight back. I know hope will remain. But we are just spitting in the faces of so many who have sacrificed so much to make our communities and country a better place.
