Woodrow Wilson, 30 years before he became President, alluded to this fundamental flaw of congressional government declaring that it is impossible to fix responsibility (or blame, if you will) for decisions emanating from a body composed of hundreds of politicians. Wilson wrote that in a congressional government, ā??Nobody stands sponsor to the policy of the government. A dozen men originate it; a dozen compromises twist and alter it; a dozen officers whose names are scarcely known outside Washington put it into execution.ā? (The Imperial Congress, American Heritage, Fall, 2010)
Odd that he would quote the most traitorous president that we have ever had. Read a little about what he did when he passed the Federal Reserve act in 1913. It'll make your toes curl.
