Hi Sam, Please don't forget that even combatants in the ring shake hands once in a while. It's even been shown in history that an entire people will decide on a specific course of action.

At these times in history, would it have been right for the Executive or Legislative branches to nullify a course of action because it was their "constitutional duty" to always be contrary? Cannot two people or two branches of the government "independently" come to the same conclusion? Right or wrong, the independence of the decision-making process can still be preserved even if the conclusion remains identical.

I once read that it should require a 2/3 majority to pass any legislation and a 1/3 minority to remove any such laws. Seems to me there'd be a lot less disgruntled people around. (and most likely fewer and better laws)

Best regards, Tom
