According to the writing of our forefathers, namely, the U.S. Constitution, government holds three primary tasks of administration, legislation, and adjudication.
The President is the administrator, the chief executive officer (CEO), to oversee and administer the day-to-day operational matters of the nation. The Congress is the legislator, the board of directors, to set the direction (medium and long term vision) and to set the boundaries in which the CEO may proceed with administration. Congress sets the rules and provides or withholds the resources with which the CEO is tasked to administer the nation. The Court is the adjudicator, the referee, to see that the Congress and the President “play nice,” resolving differences and misunderstandings by interpreting the laws of the Congress. AND, We, the People, rule over the nation by appointing our elected representatives.
Unfortunately, a popular impression has developed in which: the Court is understood to be the law maker; the President is understood to be the elected ruler of the nation; the Congress is understood to be a nanny of the people to train up the people because the people do not know what is good for them and to advocate for the people against the President, keeping the President in check; and the People are ruled by government.
Now look around at the mayhem this popular impression, this deception, has developed.
We, the People, are the rulers of the nation to keep each of the administration, the legislation, and the adjudication in check. The People have, however, demonstrated a greatly diminishing level of maturity, have abdicated the position of ruler, and have let the administration, the legislation, and the adjudication run unchecked to their own lusts of fame, fortune, and power.
We, the People, have exactly what we have allowed. One may not be deceived, the trend toward mayhem shall continue unabated until we, the People, grow up, realize our appointed position as ruler, and assume our God given right and responsibility to vote responsibly. We, the People, are endowed by our Creator with certain inalienable rights. Let us exert our rights!
