Thanks for answering. As for your question, no, I don't think the president or any single politician should have that much power. I didn't like it when Obama rammed Obamacare down our throats and I voted for him twice.
I am just really tired of the politics on both sides of the aisle. I'm sure you probably feel the same way.
I firmly believe our nations security trumps (pun intended, lol) political parties.
