I want to get into politics but this is what I’m worried about. I’m tired of living in a fucked up country that gives no fucks about their people. I want change and I’m going to change it not ask if I can change things.
What a complete nonsense your video is:
1. The question "what is your focus of your ... research" is interesting. But your answer seems to go in a totally different direction:
Quote: Governors don't even have the ability to introduce a bill. That allows for the conclusion that they cannot change existing laws, because they are not "law makers".
In fact, they do! They have the power of "executive orders" that can change the law of a State!
So, we suggest you don't wait another 5 years to explain your nonsense!
Not only can the "suspend" existing laws without asking anybody to initiate a democratic vote, they also can "extend" their decisions without having any support pro or contra by any legislative institution!
So, whoever states "Governors have no power at all" is completely wrong.

I think the number of comments (2) within 5 years proves quite well how interested the American people are. Why? Because they know they can't do anything to change that.
@@curtcoller3632 ooh yeah, I'm not an American but I searched for this. I'm in Africa where we have different government administrative structures. So I was curious with how other states ate governed and what governors real are.
