Towards A Novel Theory Of Limiting Executive Power

Omitted thence far from the extensive academic literature on limiting executive ability is hide-and-seek. Long idea to hold upward a game for children, hide-and-seek plays a pregnant business office of Bob Woodward's novel mass on the Trump Administration. According to excerpts published today inward the Washington Post, certain presidential aides who wanted to block an executive determination simply removed the relevant paperwork from the President's desk as well as hid it somewhere. (I empathise that in that place is a flowerpot inward the Rose Garden that is peculiarly dandy for concealing draft executive orders.) The President, beingness likewise busy watching TV or tweeting, never noticed that the documents were missing. This mightiness also explicate why then many Oval Office meetings include an aide telling the President: "Quick! Look out of the window!" to practise a momentary distraction.

The wisdom of Churchill's comment that "Democracy is the worst bird of Government except for all those other forms that convey been tried" becomes clearer to me equally I larn older.
