The role of the president has shifted away from its constitutional responsibility, which is to decide whether bills that initiate in the two houses of Congress are executable. The Executive Orders are meant to be the application of the laws that pass through the legislative process, not with the sense of a royal decree.
The U.S. Constitution delineates the roles for each of the branches. In the legislative branch, the House of Representatives decides if laws are based on the will of the people. The Senate decides whether bills before Congress are based on the rights of the people. The president is the head of the Executive branch, and he or she decides whether the law is executable. The Supreme Court decides whether they are Constitutional.
The common belief that the president is the most powerful person on the planet will be tested with the creation of the proposed international government. Each nation will elect two presidents, one to be responsible for internal affairs, and the other is the international president, and they will stand back to back. Neither will have any power in the other's arena. All the presidents will meet to vote on whether laws passed by the international legislative branch are executable. Because disputes between nations will be resolved in court, rather than the battlefield, the role of the legislature to declare war will hopefully fade away.
To reach the point where the United States sends an international president to the international government, we must purify the U.S. legal system of laws that have cause chaos, and they include campaign finance, term limits, and the election process itself. Attempts to reform the system have failed because these issues are too political.
Things are changing in Washington, DC. In the 2016 U.S. presidential election, Donald Trump, a businessman with no prior government experience, won the election, and his supporters voted for him because they believe he can solve the problems.
At this time, anyone can run for president, but he or she must have immense financial support, which means party affiliation--and the pressure to sell one's soul. That limits our choices to two people. We propose that anyone can run for president, and there be no need for an unlimited campaign chest, because candidates will progress through a series of elections and the winner will be the person with the capacity to offer solutions to the problems that each level is facing.
Towns and cities face similar issues, so if a candidate can solve the issues on the local level, other towns across the nation will see the demonstration of the solution. The same applies on the state level, and the regional and the national levels. The international president must also be able to solve problems on the international level.
I am starting the first step of this longest of journeys by announcing the following:
"Hi, I am Karen Holmes, and I am not running for president of the United States. I am working to make it possible for anyone to run for president of the United States so long as he or she can solve the problems."
