Limiting the Power of the Legislative and Executive Branches

There is something to consider when voting for President in the up coming election. It almost certain that the both the House and Senate of the legislative branch will have a Democrat majority. If Obama is elected President, the Democrats will control both the executive and legislative branches and he will have the power to get all his liberal and socialized plans put into law. Consider how things went when Clinton and Bush had the legislative branch on their side – not so well. I think government is most effective when the executive and legislative branches are run by opposite parties. This puts effective checks and balances so the President or one political party does not get too much power. Some argue that this could make government less effective and they will get little done. However, the American people do not need a big government to legislate every action of our being. That is strong case to vote for John McCain to keep government honest.
