The problem with this is once both sides know that they have to compromise they can deliberately overshoot their goals on the initial drafting of an idea and then 'compromise' down to what they originally had wanted in the first place.
Very good video. Many people often like to think that the executive has total control and that's not the case. I am not only saying this because it's true but also to ease people's fears of...well you probably already know who it is.
I understand what they mean by "compromise". What really should be done is to have one set goal for the country and do it. Now that one set goal is not, just one thing. That one set goal is what the business is and doing the things from that goal. If you get two parties, that don't agree on anything, to "compromise". It can have dangerous effects.
Disappointing that there's no mention of the Constitution, the rule of law and the oath of office. Imagine a sporting event where none of the rules are enforced... it would wind up looking like American Politics.
Really like your work! Thank you for being excellent. You're inspiring me to keep following through on an idea I have that might just bring some smiles to people's faces! You rock.
They claimed the founders created a perfect system but I see many flaws. Usually, the compromise they are talking about is if you scratch my back, I scratch yours.
Yeah there are things like executive orders where one branch tries to step out of the bounds of their Constitutional duties. Those things worry me the most. But in general the balance of powers works and should be maintained.
Great vid i always wondered if the prez could really do all the stuff he says he can; informative and kept my attention with great illustrations, keep it up!!!!
I feel like executive orders just kind of bypass a lot of this system though? We have a similar thing here in Canada called an OIC. Or you can always manufacture an emergency and take emergency power/martial law. It seems the president has a lot more power than they let on in this video.
Thank you! Great animation and I love the peanut butter and jelly metaphor! I hope this video gets a *lot* more views as the 2016 presidential campaign goes into full swing. It may help to allay some of the fears of a (Dog forbid) Trump presidency. Without congressional support, the most "powerful" action he'll be able to take is to sign a bunch of insane "executive orders," most, if not all, of which will require funding to implement, funding that the House will deny him. So the worst that can happen, as I see it, is that as Americans, we will be the laughing stock of the rest of the civilized world for four years, but what else is new?
Can you make a video about how text grammer has ruined the English grammer we all learned in elementary school, please? This topic has been itching at my brain for some time now.
I think it's important to remember that presidents also can push things through with executive orders. On top of that although federal agencies like the EPA, FBI, CIA and arguably the most important, the federal reserve, are meant to be run independently, alot of the most effective presidents have found ways to make them work for him, usually through key appointments or by tampering with the budget.
I tend to agree...the executive branch uses the power of regulation and fiat more than the legislative branch could enact laws, which is what the video depicts. At least in the current federal government which has more bureaus, offices, agencies than the original constitution ever envisioned the federal government becoming (aka. the enumerated rights).
Also only about 40% of voting age Americans vote, and only 40% of those voters can be considered to be casting an educated vote, so basically only about 15% of voting age Americans are going to actually consider why they should vote for who, not "I like that guy's mustache, I'll vote for him!"
Lol. So this comment is a flex by @MrMobile [Michael Fisher] giveaway. None the less. I'm happy his contest got me looking around at new content. So far I'm liking what you guys are putting down. Thank You!
How different of a nation do you think we would be if we all as citizens didnt all vote. We as a public wouldn't think the president was that important, as an obvious guess. Only with the importance we give as humans does our opinions of our political system does it actually matter.
The president is really just a spokesperson. You can’t anything done on your own, due to checks and balances. Therefore, any sort of change is probably impossible without your political team mates in the houses. People think too differently from each other.
I will admit it has been a long time since I learned Government stuff and I can't quite remember, but if a president has to go through congress to make big changes then why are some people so convinced Hilary would take away the second amendment?
That would require a 2/3 vote in both houses of Congress. It is very unlikely either party could gain a 2/3 majority in both chambers anytime soon. It would be a fine thing if the Democrats won majorites in both houses of Congress this year and more than justifiable considering how reckless the GOP has become, but it remains unlikely.
That's just it - the right-wing crack-pots of America regularly show that they don't understand the basics of how our government works. It would require a 2/3 vote in both houses of Congress to amend the Constitution. That's not going to happen.
+Luis Montanez So basically we need to go out a ( methoprically) beat the shit out of republicans.. you cant comprise with republican.. you have to just bash them till they stop moving
+Luis Montanez Don't you mean until you get a majority in congress, you CAN'T do much of what you want? And I guess from this video, if you flip the house and senate, then a President Trump couldn't do much of what he wanted.
Hey! 2012! I am here from 2020 :) For those who advocate that presidents must always compromise, and that the president doesn't have much capacity to do real harm, the system or the party will put limits and we should not worry too much about a certain orange buddy... OOHHH GOSHHHH, things will get SOOOO interesting for you...
Apart from the fact that the president isn't the personification of an uber all-saving superhero, which is true contrary to media propagation, I just heard an utter pile of crap.
This totally sidesteps the powers that the US President actually DOES have, and frankly, it's terrifying and I don't understand why anyone OTHER than a sociopathic narcissist would want the job. I'm talking about the military, the NDA, and foreign policy in general. Leaving aside actual troop deployment, just on the margins on a given day of making decisions and signing stuff, 10,000 people over here, 20,000 over there, if you track it all statistically, will die, or live. You just have your hands on such giant levers - pick your metaphor - that you affect so many people, there are gallons of blood on your hands pretty much your first couple of weeks in office, depending on how quickly you settle in, figure out where the light switches are in the West Wing, etc. Even Jimmy Freaking Carter - was there ever a nicer, more conventionally MORAL President? - had his E. Timor.
yes, all of the laws and bills suggested by the president have to be passed in congress, if the supreme court and congress disagree it won't be a law, in fact the president is the least important part of our goverment
This was exactly what happened with Lula in Brazil. Before the election he promised so many things but after elected he apologized saying that he does not know how the system worked.
Book smart cant substitute for common sense but this video ain't got nothing to do with Obama or Romney it just basically show what the president can and can't do! I like this video! Good-luck if you believe Romney or Obama going to grant your wishes!
The 502nd chanal freedom is very broadly defined too. anything can be considered freedom.. For example Bernie sander would argue that if you aren't truly free unless you have financial security.. that people who earn $7 an hour ( or what he calls starvation wages) aren't truly free. Freedom is a very subjective term
Freedom is the ability to live without fear of having your rights taken away (bill of rights, women's suffrage, anti slave and segregation laws). Also it is the ability to own your own home without owning money and being self sufficient.
+The 502nd chanal "Also it is the ability to own your own home without owning money and being self sufficient" It is socialism :D Sometimes I think that the US and Russia were switched places.
Why is there NOT three hundred millions views of this ? I'll stop thinking americans are as ignorant as they sound on youtube when this kind of videos will be more popular than the next one direction or the next new guy in the rap industry. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure there's a lot of smart and good people in America. The only problem is we don't hear them, they never speak up !
are we just not gonna talk about how good that peanut butter jelly sandwich analogy was?? ima steal that.
Nope, you won’t. I’ve flagged your profile & if I see that analogy used in any videos ill file a copyright strike on it 😁
Dope animations!
The problem with this is once both sides know that they have to compromise they can deliberately overshoot their goals on the initial drafting of an idea and then 'compromise' down to what they originally had wanted in the first place.
As soon as I heard the line "someone who is willing to compromise",
I suddenly had a mental picture of President Frank Underwood from House of Cards..
If the president can’t even send a message on Twitter then he has less power than me.
Very good video. Many people often like to think that the executive has total control and that's not the case. I am not only saying this because it's true but also to ease people's fears of...well you probably already know who it is.
I find it amazing how much the animation adds to the guy talking, in terms of making us understand.
I understand what they mean by "compromise". What really should be done is to have one set goal for the country and do it. Now that one set goal is not, just one thing. That one set goal is what the business is and doing the things from that goal. If you get two parties, that don't agree on anything, to "compromise". It can have dangerous effects.

I seriously love the fact that this is explained! I am tired of having to do this for everyone! lol, now I just show them this nifty educational film!

Now, how much power do corporations really have?
hectorqwer Act of 1871.
can u upload a video about The comparison between American President & The British Prime Minister
Yeah there are things like executive orders where one branch tries to step out of the bounds of their Constitutional duties. Those things worry me the most. But in general the balance of powers works and should be maintained.
You guys are giving me so many ideas for examples for me to use in debate tournaments
Thanks!

Guys, what programs/tablets do you use to animate with? I love the style!
Haha loved the president you used for this piece, especially how he eyed the PB and J sandwich. Great job guys, thanks for the informative piece!
I'm a Moderate, that tilts Left.
I would like to hear this man review the 2016/17 - 2020/21 and current.
This channel is great!
I love your videos! And the graphics are very inspiring. :D
I've designed a video after watching your videos.
Can you make a video about how text grammer has ruined the English grammer we all learned in elementary school, please? This topic has been itching at my brain for some time now.
Hellsyeah. the animation's damn good, brother.
Came here after Donald Trump won the election
SAAAAAAMMMMMMEEEEEEE
Doctor Syed hahahaha omgg this is so funny, it's funny how we all give a fuck now when we know there's a mad man being put in that place.
Doctor Syed me too man
@Jordan Sharpe not so much because the judicial can view a certain law and see if it is constitutional
@Jordan Sharpe it might as well be a dictatorship i know it's not though
Eric Holden fast furious you mean ?
I think it's important to remember that presidents also can push things through with executive orders.

That's when you know the Federal Government has already gone too big than what the Founding Fathers intended it to be
BTW, you forgot to add a marker for "lobbyists" & "Corporations" next to the "H of R" & "S".
The stuff in the start was lit
I hate how the vast majority of people truly believe that the President can do nigh anything.
he was filling up the states with his weed power
I tend to agree...the executive branch uses the power of regulation and fiat more than the legislative branch could enact laws, which is what the video depicts.

As much power as the United States citizens give them.
Checks and balances bro, checks and balances... Its what makes our system both so crappy sometimes, but so effective at other times.
How different of a nation do you think we would be if we all as citizens didnt all vote. We as a public wouldn't think the president was that important, as an obvious guess. Only with the importance we give as humans does our opinions of our political system does it actually matter.
This simply proves that we have a broken system
I think the system is fine, perfectly ineffective.
thank you im preparing for a quiz and you help me really much
The president is really just a spokesperson.
You can’t anything done on your own, due to checks and balances. Therefore, any sort of change is probably impossible without your political team mates in the houses.
People think too differently from each other.
Forgot about Executive Order, presidents power to bypass the Legislative branch.
Can you make a video on how to deal with bullies?
Animation is great! 😃👍
So....It doesnt matter who we vote on?
Thanks. can you please make a video to explain what you mean?
I will admit it has been a long time since I learned Government stuff and I can't quite remember, but if a president has to go through congress to make big changes then why are some people so convinced Hilary would take away the second amendment?
sion8 Thanks Samus.

I don't know if sarcastic or genuine, but no problem.

Genuine...

Unless you have a majority in Congress, then you can pretty much do what you want. Go out and vote! #Bernie2016
+Luis Montanez So basically we need to go out a ( methoprically) beat the shit out of republicans.. you cant comprise with republican.. you have to just bash them till they stop moving

I agree
make one how to win a fight
Hey! 2012!
I am here from 2020 :) For those who advocate that presidents must always compromise, and that the president doesn't have much capacity to do real harm, the system or the party will put limits and we should not worry too much about a certain orange buddy... OOHHH GOSHHHH, things will get SOOOO interesting for you...
And what "real harm" did that certain "orange man" did exactly?
People don't seriously think that presidents are superheroes, do they?
Apart from the fact that the president isn't the personification of an uber all-saving superhero, which is true contrary to media propagation, I just heard an utter pile of crap.
Can you guys make a video about how yo make your videos?
The people are the ones who have the power
Unfortunately, it's very possible that this will be our downfall.
Wow, I didn't know James Lipton was such a multi-hyphenate.
Yeah that was a cool little vid!
can u just give me the easy answer girl i gotta do hw and im too lazy
This totally sidesteps the powers that the US President actually DOES have, and frankly, it's terrifying and I don't understand why anyone OTHER than a sociopathic narcissist would want the job. I'm talking about the military, the NDA, and foreign policy in general. Leaving aside actual troop deployment, just on the margins on a given day of making decisions and signing stuff, 10,000 people over here, 20,000 over there, if you track it all statistically, will die, or live.

Shit Loads If Your Ego Get To Ya
yes, all of the laws and bills suggested by the president have to be passed in congress, if the supreme court and congress disagree it won't be a law, in fact the president is the least important part of our goverment
basic....
Uno!
And/or Ron Swanson
I hope more people become Independent instead of joining the other two parties.
Even the executive orders have it's limits. The president can't fix the economy just with executive orders alone.
None
That cartoon guy looks like a better President than Trump lol
that would be a federal crime, and will mean he wants to declare war
Why does this get recommended :o
Didn't the first guy wanna make pb and j coexist?
Government ear to the seat
This was exactly what happened with Lula in Brazil. Before the election he promised so many things but after elected he apologized saying that he does not know how the system worked.
Can you make a video on how executive orders work. Doesn't this make the president have more power?
the Constitution sated that congress will have the most power since the representatives are elected by us and represent us directly
Book smart cant substitute for common sense but this video ain't got nothing to do with Obama or Romney it just basically show what the president can and can't do! I like this video! Good-luck if you believe Romney or Obama going to grant your wishes!
The president's job is commander and chief of armed forces. And in his OATH he us to defend and protect the CONSTITUTION
So don't elect a president with a mustache
It wasn't really what I have hoped to hear. I wish there was more in this video about what the president can do and how does his power works
Why I love Ron Paul
...
I stuck around until 4:03.
Ah... looking back on this now that the senate has given up it's power to reign in the president.... good times.
I just want ppl to learn you can’t blame your president for everything! They’re practically just for show!
or Mario
Who came here for Trump?!
You should talk about the power the president does have.
i want captions, thumbs up if you agree !
woot
Compromise is fine as long as it is not with anti American ideals. Still we should do a no party system.
+The 502nd chanal LOL are you serious.. anything is consider anti- American ideals.. you can literally claim anything to be anti American.
Any thing that is anti freedom is anti American
The 502nd chanal freedom is very broadly defined too. anything can be considered freedom.. For example Bernie sander would argue that if you aren't truly free unless you have financial security.. that people who earn $7 an hour ( or what he calls starvation wages) aren't truly free.

+The 502nd chanal "Also it is the ability to own your own home without owning money and being self sufficient"
It is socialism :D
Sometimes I think that the US and Russia were switched places.
Was it only me that thought the elephant was going to shit on him? :)
Jelly is for jerks!
It looks like like it's adobe flash animation
When is a president gonna stand up against congress and tell them off
Why is there NOT three hundred millions views of this ?
I'll stop thinking americans are as ignorant as they sound on youtube when this kind of videos will be more popular than the next one direction or the next new guy in the rap industry. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure there's a lot of smart and good people in America. The only problem is we don't hear them, they never speak up !
all a sudden I'm craving a pb&j sandwich lol
Start the video at the beginning. Watch Ron Swanson beat up ninjas.
