Inquiring minds want to know: Question For Democrats: What Can’t Obama Do?.
Now, run-of-the-mill presidents may only enter into international treaties with approval of two-thirds majority of the Senate. According to the New York Times, though, the Obama administration believes it can “sidestep that requirement.” I realize it’s schmaltzy and archaic and completely reactionary to mention this sort thing: but Obama swore to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States not to work hard to circumvent the separation of powers.
What most Boulderites/Progressives/Democrats don’t seem to be able to accept is that the polarization that exists in politics is a reflection of the electorate.
