That is the the way it's supposed to be, and to some extent you are correct. However, there are certain gigantic issues that both Trump and Biden have personally controlled with executive orders, without any assistance from Congress, such as the border and the so-called "aid to Ukraine."

I wish that this were true, but it doesn't match news reports or  reports from local leaders about "unprecedented quantities of undocumented migrants" and "unprecedented quantities of fentanyl" which are turning up since the Biden regime took over in 2021. "A 90 degree turn" is a perfect way to describe it.

These are excellent points and I agree with you. Thank you for pointing out that Desert Storm still hasn't been paid in full. I didn't realize that, but I believe you and I hope that other people take note of it. Neither Biden nor Trump have pointed that out, but they should.
