        Another little known fact - the president as head of the executive branch is the top official in the enforcement of US law. They even appoint the US Attorney General who heads the the Justice Department - the ultimate law enforcement apparatus in the US.

        Ah yes the narrative of “The president doesn’t actually have any power” a common one used to justify voting for trump.

            I forgot lemmee users don’t think before they post. They just vomit whatever latent thought happens to pass through their mind at the time.
