Guiding Principle and Congress

legislative body: The U.S. Constitution, in its attempt to prevent one group controlling the three branches of government invoked separation of powers as its guiding principle, according to The Chronicle Herald. Such an arrangement has worked as long as men and women in the legislative body, Congress, are willing to compromise with the executive, the president, to produce legislation in the interests of the public. Aside from the side effects of the 2008 recession, however, lies a deeper challenge to the nature of the structure of that country federal system of government. This has not been happening since Obama election in 2008. Congress was closed down in the fall of 2013 by the Tea Party adherents; right now it refuses to consider Obama nomination of a Supreme Court justice. Republicans have been determined to thwart all efforts by Obama to make the system work. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
