youthofpandas:

so this seems like a good time to remind people:

The powers of the president (executive branch)

• can propose laws
  
• can veto laws
• can nominate candidates for the supreme court
• can sign treaties

The powers of congress (legislative branch)

• can propose laws
  
• can veto laws
• can confirm/deny candidates for the supreme court
• can fund or de-fund laws
• can impeach the president

The powers of the supreme court (judicial branch)

• can veto laws
  
• can determine what a law means
• can decide if a law violates the consitution
• can decide how laws apply to a certian case if smaller courts couldn’t

so this is me telling you things arent going to be that bad (offcially) for a long long time because of how long it takes to get laws passed or to get things funded

socially things are going to be bad of course, trump’s big mouth is going to get other countires to hate us, his supporters are going to do awful awful things, but laws will not be made overnight.

across 8 years obama tried for 7 new things and only 5 got passed. trump will not get much done at all except getting people pissed off at him
