  1. I think that it's because most Americans really don't care about politics and get bored easily. So, they elect officials, then get back to their routines and not want to have to think too much about things. "We elected you to solve these problems, now go do your job!"

  2. Waging (declaring) war is Congress's job, not the President. The President is the leader of the armed forces and the military can only be used after Congress approves declaring war. In reality since WWII, it's been admittedly different but it's Congress that holds the purse strings and still has a say who America fights.

  3. Since 9/11, there has been a preponderance of politicians and corporate executives who are only interested in grabbing all that they can before the ship goes down.
