Your ignorance is showing...
You could say the exact same thing about the President. Like the Queen, the President barely has any power whatsoever in the Government, because that's left up to Congress. The President is more of a spokesman for the country.
As is yours.
The president has the power to veto/approve/alter anything that congress passes. Can authorize the use of nuclear weapons. Declare martial law. Declare war. Pardon people of crimes. And many many other things if he choses to, and he can do these all on his own. It's just that in modern times a good president
will go through congress and reach an agreement instead of just working towards his own personal agenda.
You should know what you are talking about before you go calling people ignorant.
Ah, yes indeed. And where did you come across this fact? Oh, that's right! You learned it from a textbook that was mandated as part of the curriculum in a school regulated by the government.
Take off your rose colored glasses, and stop being so naive. The "three branches of government" and the whole thing about "checks and balances" that you probably learned about in elementary school is a lie.
Do you know there are an estimated twenty intelligence agencies that operate above the President? They're known as the
Shadow Government / G-Men / Men in Black, etc.
They pull the strings behind the curtains while the "Government" dances on the stage.
But, why would you listen to me, because I obviously, as you say, don't know what I'm talking about, regardless of the fact that I took U.S. Politics in college.
