When Will Presidential Authority Collapse?

I'd like to know why anyone is still paying attention to this guy. Yes, he has a lot of authority according to the Constitution, and we can't take that away from him so long as he holds the office. But we also know that authority, unlike responsibility, is taken, not delegated. Bush took a lot of authority in 2001, after September 11, and we need to take it back. We pay so much attention to what he's thinking, what he wants to do, what his plans are. Stop it! Let his authority collapse because it's illegitimate. Let his authority collapse he's incompetent. Let his authority collapse because everyone ignores him. Ostracism is the most powerful social tool available to any group. It is also a political tool. We need to use it now to remove our president's authority.

That's a radical idea, you say? It is. Even if he doesn't deserve the authority he has, even if he misuses it, we can't imagine a political structure without the president at its center. Well, let's start imagining it, and see where the vision leads. When I say, "Find new leadership," I mean it. I don't mean that we should find some new people to help the president, to supplement the president, or to balance the president. I mean that we should replace the president. The office is strong enough that it would survive that. The office would remain robust enough that when a competent occupant arrives to resume its duties, it would be healthy again. Now though we're acting as though the presidency must remain strong to bring us through difficult times. In fact, though, the presidency itself is the main difficulty, because the person who occupies the office is so bad.

More later, my friends.
