Troof. But if you can't keep an account, then how do you know they aren't getting anything on the side? This is THE major position of the country that affects everyone. The president has veto power and can pardon anyone for anything, even the previous president. I guess either the president gets less power and there is no-one of any absolute power, but a council that must agree (sounds like an anime or sci-fi) because that way you have to bribe them all, OR, the president should just get no gifts at all.

I just think that the more power you have, the more concessions you have to make. It's only 4 years. It's for the good of everyone. And plus, you have to really want the job that bad. It's not like you're forced to take the job. Look at how it is now, the president has like no accountability.

How about ours. The president right now is going behind our back, WTF?

Thanks for the serious reply mayte

Yeah shit ain't perfect... but this is the other side of the card I'm talking about right now, and how would we guarantee shit would go absolutely right? Creature comforts should be the last thing considered for this job, but right now it seems like the president can play golf whenever he wants with my money (Oh yeah, I have an american shorty fo' keeps)
