mburns's Journal: The Conservative President

An advanced or efficient civilization most likely makes for a more closely balanced and diverse legislature. This will increase the power of the executive of the government. The President has the remarkable powers of veto and of authorizing debt, not to mention the ability to unleash the Department of Justice. His refusal to make use of these powers marks him as a genuine conservative.

I think that I am not the first to call this behavior avoidant. The President does not wish to pick a fight with father figures (but only with foreign opponents).
