Wrong. The founding fathers made sure that the power lied with the people, or the ones most closely representing them, their elected congressmen. They pass the laws, and if the president doesn't like the law and vetos it, they can override. It makes it harder, but the power still lies with the congress.
Point taken. I should have said that unless you have a strong majority then nothing can be accomplished. You know my point was that, by design, one branch cannot run roughshod over another unless there is a great popular desire to do so.
