<People in other countries sometimes are puzzled>

People migrating to the US are also often puzzled as to "how does this really work?".

Having done some reading, (as part of my citizenship app), I have a belief that the US government is based on the idea of having conflicting views heard, and eventually (maybe) passed into law, so no one gets to call all the shots. I believe the PC description is "checks and balances".

The next few weeks will indicate if that is still what the US voting population wants.

cheers, kumar
