Do You Think That Our Form Of Government Is Archaic?

Is one President still the best way to represent ourselves to the world? Does having a one President government put to much power in the hands of one person? Does the Congress (both houses) really represent the people? In a world of international commerce should we be represented by people that are better versed and more socially aware of the countries we are competing against? The countries we are cooperating with?

    I hardly think it could be called archaic when it is merely 200 years old.  With all of it's problems, a Constitutional Republic it is yet the best form of government man has devised.

    Presidential authority is outlined in the Constitution, which places strict limits upon his powers.  There is no problem with the Constitution, the problem lies with our government ignoring it.  And the American People tolerate it.

    Congress does not represent the People.  And no, they are not the quality of people we truly need.  But that is not the fault of Congress... Once again it is the fault of the American People who continue to elect them.
