Chapter 14The President of the United States is a special office with elements of great strength and also great weakness defined in the Constitution. A president is chosen by the people while a prime minister is chosen by the legislature. One reason presidents are less powerful than prime ministers is because no sitting member of congress can hold office in an executive branch, where as a prime minister's chosen person Ministers who will serve in the cabinet are always members of parliament . This is a huge difference because prime ministers choose all their cabinet ministers from among parliaments. This is a great way to exercise control over the government because if you have members of Congress in your cabinet, you will be able to influence more people in the government. Think of it as an outsider trying to adapt to a new club or sport. You have to prove your way and earn the respect of your peers. It's a bit like the President and his cabinet. Sure, some people in the president's cabinet are close friends, campaign aides, representatives and experts on various political issues, but if you already have someone on the inside like Britain does, the job becomes much easier. And maybe the cabinet members are really welcoming and grateful for an outsider to come in, but when it comes to political issues and the insiders don't agree with the president, they will turn on you. Another huge weakness of the president's government is that the president's party often does not have a majority in Congress. The prime minister's party always has a majority in parliament. Does this really mean anything? Yes, it creates a divided government that creates huge conflicts and disagreements. Aga... middle of paper... problems, they create problems. If more bureaucracies were held accountable, this would filter out those that are useless and meaningless. To whom bureaucracies are held accountable remains a question for me. The bureaucracy is simply too big and cannot be supported, but they must be held accountable for their actions, there is no doubt about that. Unfortunately, the bureaucracy is too big for anyone or anything, and it's too big for our own good. I imagine there will always be drawbacks to bureaucracy. According to the text, "if a bureaucracy has a master, it often ends up having none." Instead of one person controlling him, he controls the person. And with a bureaucracy as divided as that of the United States, we seemed equally inefficient. We're damned if we do, and damned if we don't. Same thing with bureaucracy, they're damned if they do and damned if they don't.
