Watching Trump stomp around as he does (and thinking of other president before him who did the same thing) has made me come to the conclusion that our presidents have too much power and the checks and balances sought from the three branches of government is way out of whack. I think we are going to see more and more tyrants in that office until that gets fixed.

It’s an excellent point.Originally Posted by Rocker Ute
Something I don’t think the founding fathers ever could see coming was the speed at which things can happen.
POTUS has a way to do many things very quickly. Congress and SCOTUS move like a sloth on depressants
How we fix that, I’m not sure.

There's a lot of things the Founding Fathers didn't / couldn't foresee: Aviation, nuclear weapons, bump stocks. They did, however, see the need for more deliberation in some parts of the federal government, which is why the Senate has 6 year terms, and the House just 2, and justices appointed for life.
When was the last declared war? WWII?
I find it fascinating, though, that among some conservatives who've been pining for a new Constitutional Convention to restore things a coolness to the idea, as it could be very unpredictable and go in ways they don't intend.
