    I feel like I’m becoming an armchair constitutional process hobbyist

    TBF, this is basic civics. I’m pretty sure you need to know more than this to take a citizenship test.

    Education in this country is woefully deficient.

      I doubt every nuance of constitutional procedure and the loopholes by which they can be exploited in multiple branches, and minutiae which may or may not block each of those avenues is basic civics. Yet, here we are needing a daily understanding of all of that to appreciate the impact of each step of the latest chicanery.

        Yeah, presidential vetoes is like, Civics 100. I wouldn’t have even said anything otherwise. It’s not minutiae

          Well, good for you for shitting on someone trying to learn and better themselves. Clearly this country needs more people like you.

            It seems many of my fellow countrymen/women need to be shamed into learning basic shit about their own government. Don’t blame me.
