  • You seem like a level headed kid and not the american stereotype

  • Govt is held by people those people your neighbors they are not friendly they have suspicion of you treat you like a criminal they got enemies they are a problem they systematically want to own you on our soil, protect a land with out force, limit American flying objects from invading our privacy same with your identity no telling what these paranoid pricks may do with your information and you must tell the Canadian authorities of their action in case they use you for something you did not do

  • I can't have a camel in my bathtub?!?! Thanks for the warning, I'll be sure to stay out of Louisiana!! LOL!!! : D

  • the president has a lot of informal powers

  • one baby to another said i'm lucky to have met you :)

  • Another insane law: In North Dakota, if your in a covered wagon, and are attacked by Native American's, it is legal to shoot them.. I doubt that'll hold up, and you'll still get murder, but the law is still on the books..

  • i feel dumber for trying to explain the way the system actually works to this guy..what a waste of time..cant believe i stumbled upon this baffoon either.

  • you are actually not good looking.

  • it was a joke and atleast im willin to show my face

  • you are one of the fewest people know the game. well done

  • good vid man.

    But I disagree with you on the president thing. on the whole YES he doesn't have as much power as we seem to think. But a president seems these days to have such power over vetoing a bill because of the 2 party structure. Its HIGHLY unlikely that the majority vote against the presidents decision will ever occur because that majority needs to be such a high percentage.

    5 stars

  • it needs to be 2/3 and i see what ur sayin that that many agreeing isnt likely however when it comes down to it he cant do anything worth mentioning if the congress dissagrees im not sayin none of his opinions and choices matter but when it comes down to it he is only second after congress

  • Stand still for 10min and stop your car and put your hand over your heart and have everyone do it,it started in the UK and it couldn't be stopped,why?it was all planned on the YT and it went off like clock work,just everyone stood still,the power of silence and the intimidation of this simple jester,the power is the mob and 300mil in the US along, stand still and send a message and then continue with larger and larger stand stills and longer.The mod is the only true power,we are the mob.

  • Congress is the illusion and right now GWBjr is a total dick and he is leading the US and he only cares about his people and if you aren't one of them than tough S87T,Look we need to bring the US to a stand still, everyone just stand still, see some vids about stand stills and the message is recieved,believe me all of the US just to stand still for 10 mins all at one time it can be done,it has been done and think about it how can the Gov stop a protest that happens all at once,all ove the US

  • we have the right to protest but that doesnt mean they have to liston to protesting

  • You can't just overthrow the government. The government must be not providing to the civillians needs. When that happens it is legal to throw over the government but that would never happen because the government would just say people are acting up and try to control them.

  • i know that of course they would never let it happen ud have to be powerfull enough to do it and that just wont happen i just stated in the constitution is says that i should have been a little more clear

  • and you retarted to think that the president has power

  • Good video. It's nice to see Americans are seriously recognizing these issues of corrupt government and the erosion of civil liberties without seeing it as a personal attack. In the past I would have just expected a knee-jerk reaction back-lash to the effect "America is the best, Bush is the best, you suck".

  • yea we are fooled with the delusion that we are the best country out there but go anywhere else and no other country agrees

  • so pretty, so stupid. the president has used circumstances to abuse his power (yes he has power) to appoint friends to powerful positions (that's called a cabinet). those friends then use their positions to propose actions (especially when based on national security threats, like we've been lead to believe we have been in for 7 years). it's not legal to overthrow the government. you're retarded. read something. anything. sound out some words. good luck. ;)

  • its in the constitution if the government becomes too corupt we have the resonsability and yes he brings people into the cabinet and judges but he personaly cant make any decisions

  • power is power. if you can decide who will be in a spot you can set up a 'deal' with them to decide the things you want decided. and the power to put them there makes that your power. look at the laws they are passing to prevent them from being tried for war crimes. the president has ultimate power. he makes the important decisions. he is "the decider".

  • no like i said any decision he makes has to go through congress and he puts SOME poeple into power but the majority of poeple were already there he can only replace them and the congress isnt smallhe only brings in a small portion plus deal making like that is illegal

  • we can't just let people have camels in their bathtub...it would be chaos!!!

    then everyone will want to do it.

  • i know huh makes u think why that law was placed there has to be some reason lol

  • LOL your an idiot. umm president, lets see declare war clause, supremacy clause, congress has no consitutional authority to override presidential veto thats wrong, treaty power, appointment power of the cabinat, you know that staff that controls everything that goes on in the government...ya but your right hes just a figure head, he really doesnt do anything at all.

  • he has the right to declair war...after running it through congress which btw if congress has a 2/3 vote they can override any dicision of his they can even kick him out of office any dicisin he make has to go through congress and the appointment he can give others power but he personaly doesnt have it

  • are you serious? if you say something and that has to be ordered.thats POWER. i dont know what your definition of power is but its definitely not consistent with consitutional interpretations budddy. whatever he tells his cabinate goes buddy, they just do his work for him what he says goes or else they are removed the their positions.Furthermore, anything declared a threat to national security as vested by commander and chief clause, the president has final say. people these days...get a clue

  • oh ya,how many of the 250 wars the US has been involved in were declared wars by congress?5,all were prior to and including world war 2,hows that for running it through congress.you know when your gunna get a 2/3 vote for ANYTHING in congress?NEVER.last time it happened was for the 27th amendment,nice try using that argument.congress has funding control but like i said 245 wars all funded by congress because of the express written concent of el presidente.you have no idea what your talking about

  • the presdent cant go to war without congress concent look at the system of checks and balences they dont declare wars unless its needed but the prez cant declare war without their concenthis orders dont have to be carried out unless the congress agrees why dont u count the bills posted by the prez the congress said no to and he cant just remove anyone ether they may have not givin the orders to go to war but they gave the prez their consent

  • it doesnt matter dont you get it... the system of checks and balances in overlapping if you knew anything about article 1 section 8 or 10 youd know what your talking about. no1 is DECLARING anything...the president is COMMANDER AND CHIEF OF ARMED FORCES...HE IS IN CONTROL OF THEM..HIS ORDERS DO HAVE TO BE CARRIED OUT BY THEM. CONGRESS CAN ONLY REGULATE MILITARY FUNDING...GET THIS THROUGH YOUR HEAD...TWO HUNDRED AND FOURTY FIVE WARS OUTSIDE OF CONGRESSIONAL APPROVAL TWO HUNDRED AND FOURTY FIVE...

  • look if congress has a 2/3 vote the war will not happen the prez is the one diclareing the war and the congress is allowing it those five you were speaking of were just the ones the prez didnt do anything they just force it his orders are only carried out if the congress doesnt interviene which they usualy will till they agree

  • no actually those 5 the president did do something and congress agreed...and congress did not have a 2/3 vote because they dont feel the need to intervene thus allowing the president to exercise HIS POWER..therefor he does have power you just proved my point...i feel like im talking to an handicap you arent making any sense

  • no ur just not listoning to me im not sayin he cant declare war im just saying he cant do it if enough of congress disagrees the power is in congress the prez is the second in the line of power

  • dude,that is wrong the president is first in line then congress checks him

    EXPLANATION:He is Executive of the US-stated in consitution

    Executive="The executive branch contains the head of government, who is the head of this branch."-consitutional definition

    Therefore, is he uses his powers invested in him from the Commander in Chief Clause of the consitution in declaring a state of war HE ACTS FIRST,THEN congress checks his actions.PolySci is my major,learn so you dont look stupid later.

  • that is the title he is givin but when the constitution was written they didnt know what powers to give him so they gave him the title then worked on what his power if u break it down as compaired to a real world situation the prez is the dpt mannager he comes up with the ideas and executes them the the congress is the store mannager who if they dont agree say no and the prez has to liston if u really wanted to learn about it you wouldnt be so closed minded and liston to what others have to say

  • wow james madison, hamilton, and john jay didnt know what powers to give him? they historically referenced great britain and greek empires for that excact specification. if youve ever read the federalist papers youd know this. your facts are completely reversed. they knew what powers to give him and they were actually contemplating a system without a president but knew one had to be implemented. BUT, they just wanted to make sure HIS POWERS, HIS EXECUTIVE POWERS, were checked.HE IS FIRST IN LINE

  • second of all, your analogy proves MY POINT, you just said department manager is first to make the decision sote manager only checks him, exactly my argument, pres does it first, congress checks, HIS POWER FIRST...LOL..good one buddy... and in wartime decisions his power to mangage his department "the military" has NEVER been checked nor can it be..congress cant stop him from sending out troops as commanderinchief, they can ONLY DENY FUNDING...are you really that ignorant or do u not understand?

  • he acts first but he is only second as powerfull and have u ever noticed everytime bush wanted to put more troups in iraq he proposed a bill its because he needed the approval of the congress

    congress is the one sayin yes and no to all of his decisions therefor the congress has more powerit is not stated that way but it is the fact

  • no1 ever said the executive branch was most powerful...your arguments shift please stay in line so i can teach you something...the three branches are equally powerful, as designed to be, and no it wasnt totally new territory who is teaching you this crap, they had a good idea about what was going on...you dont pay attention to the news or ud know those bills are for medicare,medicade, civil rights, halting oil reserves etc, NO bill is needed involving military action dude get this in ur head.

  • look dumbass im not talking about those bills im talking about all his bills for his surge stratagy which didnt work my arguement has stayed the same the prez doesnt have the power congress does the three branches were created to be equal but thats not how it worked out the main power in the gove is not in the prez its in the congress without theyre approval he cant do anything therefore he is not in charge of the country

  • no read the history books they were walking into unknown territory they werent going to put one like u said but they decided they needed one they basicly winged it and yes there was influences but overall it was a new concept they gave him the power to make decisions but his decisions are never absolute the congress is the one that says wether they will allow his decisions or not they decide what really happenes with this country

  • based on your arguments all i need to say is "congress is basically a figure head and they really have no power at all because all the judicial branch needs to do is rule their decisions unconsitutional"..... get a clue man all actions and powers begin with the president all other branches are there to check him...FOUNDER PRIMARY CONCERN, and since uve read the history books ud know this, TO AVOID A MONARCHY. your going nowhere, hey are all equal cept pres acts first all other actions check his

  • i see your argument about the judical branch however thats only if it actualy is unconstatutional they have no say in things like the wars they were created to all three keep eachother in line however they gave the congress more power than they ment to as long as it falls in line with the constitution they have the final sayso

  • hows to determine it IS consitutional is they rule its not? no1.again your arguing original intent with present day.you just said they were created equal but that not how its works out today.your right but your order is mixed up.they way it works out today is president has the power and Congress does not ever check his authority during wartime or rarely any other time for that matter,245 wars, congress never stepped in and said this is wrong we are going to vote 2/3 and overthrow u.

  • i said the congress has the main power which they do i never said they use it every chance they are givin there is a big difference between having power and using it the prez is just there to say what he wants but that power to say yes or no belongs to congress

  • not if they dont use it...their power is then pointless and rests in the sole hands of the president you proved my point, thats all i wanted, but its cool, its getting late...hope you learned something have a good night.

  • no if a snake has venum but decides not to bite u that doesnt mean he has no venum if they feel its needed they will say no the only time they dont use it is when they agree the prez holds no power without the approval of the congress even when they say yes they are still the ones giving the prez permition

  • this just goes back to emminent danger clause, pres can do ANYTHING literally is there is a clear and present danger..impose martial law, police state activity, suspend the consitution and congressional authority...your analysis please? your fighting a losing battle, congress is simply a check thats all and all power is equal at one point or another but ultimately the president is executive. under normal circumstances all power is equal, in wartime what president says goes, END OF STORY.

  • how about this for your understanding...in wartime the president becomes immune from venum...then what? only argument left for you is revolution from the people and massive rioting LOL, nice try

  • no if congress chooses they can kick the prez out of office at any time or override and decision of his and the prez never has the right to suspend the constitution ur retarded he can only do what congress allows him to do

  • again,you are arguing Geneva Convention regulations on the President via Congress.however, excluding such regulations back to our consitutional argument these regulation are invalid.u dont know ANY of this and i love having to explain everything to you.the president has say, leeway,influence,executive authority, he is the initiator and proprietor.THAT IS POWER.your video u side hes just a figure head, ur compeletly wrong and youve proven it yourself numerous times,stick to 1 argument, nice try.

  • i have he is powerless over the congress im not speaking about the way it is set up in talking about the way it is

  • LOL your an idiot...i give up. kevkcd is absolutely right.

  • HOLY SHIZNIT...

    your response is the most sensible one I've seen. More than the original video. Or the Replies to the original video.

    Anyways, I do agree with you.
