Congress is where the real power to create policies rests, and they don't even listen to the president.

Anyways, the actions of local/state governments are what actually affect our lives on a day-to-day basis. Why do we need anything more?

Also, presidential elections generate a lot of tension and arguing among the populace...

The presidency is basically useless, and can only result in harm. Therefore, it should be abolished.

The president has a major impact of Congress, and leads a number of agendas through them.

By that logic, why not dissolve the USGF?

"the presidency creates conversation and debate... Get rid of it because not everyone feels happy around such things." On a debate site? Come on. Besides, what you claim the presidency creates is actually good. Imagine a world where politics isn't brought up at all outside of Washington. It'd be a tyranny fast.

Only cause harm? Do I need to list off the many good impacts the presidency has caused? Such as being the frontrunner of keeping politics a day-to-day topic, which is vital for the nation.

This was a satire of the movement to abolish the DDO presidency...

Congress = Juggle

Local/State Govs = Moderation
