Chapter 14The President of the United States is a special office with elements of great strength and also great weakness defined in the Constitution. A president is chosen by the people while a prime minister is chosen by the legislature. One of the reasons why presidents are less powerful than prime ministers is that no sitting member of Congress can serve in an executive branch, whereas as a person chosen by a prime minister part of the cabinet are always members of Parliament. This is a huge difference because prime ministers choose all their ministers from among parliamentarians. This is a great way to exert control over the government because if you have Congressional representatives in your cabinet, you will be able to influence more people in the government. Think of it as an outsider trying to fit into a new club or sport. You must prove yourself and earn the respect of your peers. It's a bit like the president and his cabinet. Of course, some members of the presidential cabinet are close friends, campaign aides, representatives, and experts on various policy issues, but if you already have someone inside, as is the case in Great- Brittany, this makes the job much easier. And maybe people in government are actually really welcoming and grateful that an outsider is coming in, but when it comes to political issues and insiders disagree with the president, they will turn against YOU. Another huge weakness of the government. president is that a president's party often does not have a majority in Congress. A prime minister's party always has a majority in Parliament. Does this really mean anything? Yes it does, it creates a divided government which creates enormous conflict and disagreement. Aga...... middle of paper ......problems, they allow problems. If more bureaucracies were held accountable, it would eliminate bureaucracies that are unnecessary and meaningless. To whom bureaucracies are accountable remains a question for me. The bureaucracy is simply too heavy and cannot be sustained, but they must be held accountable for their actions, there is no doubt about that. Unfortunately, bureaucracy is too heavy for anyone or anything, and it is too heavy for our own good. I guess there will always be setbacks in the bureaucracy. According to the text, “if a bureaucracy has a master, it often ends up having none.” Instead of one person controlling him, he controls the person. And with a divided bureaucracy like that of the United States, we also appear inefficient. We're damned if we do, and damned if we don't. Same with bureaucracy, they're damned if they do and damned if they don't.
