Oh boy, this subject has been a sore spot for me since the 90's. Imagine voting for a person and having them do everything for themselves and near nothing for you, his/her boss. These people steal our money, lie to us, and make damn fools of us on a daily basis. In my life time, the only persons in public office who have been honest are Ronald Reagan and Donald Trump. Of course we all know that 400 grand isn't going to break the Trumps, but it's the thought. It reminds me of a scene from Band of Brothers where Captain Winters tells the new Lt who was playing craps with the men why it was wrong to do that. Winters says "never put yourself in a position where you can take from these men". Our President only wants the honor to give to the country that gave him so much.
If we the people really care about America, and what she stands for, we will give our President a veto proof Congress, in both Houses. If we think that things are getting done now, if we have control of the 3 branches, our President can bring this great country to the place she once was.
ps. Stop electing career politicians, they're only in it for the money, not us! ...KAG!

There's an old saying:
In his first term, a politician fights the government on behalf of his constituents.
In his second term, he mediates between government and his constituents.
In his third and subsequent terms, he fights his constituents on behalf of the government.
So with term limits, how do you think he acts during the lame duck term?
The only think that keeps these people remotely under control is having to go back to the voters every so many years.
