Once upon a time perhaps it was but now it doesn't seem so. Yes the people can vote, but how those candidates get to the voting block is controlled by those with the $$$$$$. The voters can reject some of them of course no matter how much $ is spread around but all we are doing is picking the other one that was sponsored by an other group with $$$$$$$. Sighhhhh....

it relatively is the job of the president. He swears to uphold the regulation hence it relatively is conserving us. barry made that pledge and at contemporary lied. he didn;t uphold ant rules he broke them and is making his own. this isn't what he replaced into elected for.the individuals are think to have a voice in this. This us of a does not belong to him and whether he replaced right into a organic born citizen the country nevertheless does no longer belong to him. It belongs to all and sundry. it is not criminal for him to make lawsProtecting us isn't by using changing everylaw we've.and as for reducing the militia spending he has to understand the place to decrease. till he has issues non violent and no threats then possibly reducing is needed yet mutually as iran , north Korea and china is development theirs he shouldn't decrease in any respect. He looks to have no reasoning. he in basic terms throws on the table what is going by using his innovations and of direction being the messiah his orders are signed.and definite he's putting us in threat in the present day while each and everything is so unsettled. and definite that's amazingly depressing. no longer purely are we puzzled with all his concepts the full government is puzzled as nicely. and as i suggested in the previous. what the different presidents did isn't significant now. we could address what's on our plate now. hashing over what somebody did 60 yeasrs 70 years or greater eatlier doesn;t hlp something.

It was once, but that has been at least 100 years ago.
I'm afraid it would take a second revolution to return the government to the people.

Technically, special interests are people too. :)
Our representatives will continue to listen to special interests instead of the general population as long as we continue to re-elect them based on party instead of performance. The 2 party system is a travesty. It forces us to choose the lesser of 2 evils instead of someone we really believe will represent us.

As long as we have free elections we will always have a government of the people, by the people, and for the people. The problem is that too many people are too easily suckered by politicians and their lies.

That is easily remedied, it is called informed voters, unfortunately, most people don't even bother to vote, let alone research the candidates. More people care about the silly actors in Hollywood than the politicians that 'run' the country.

Not as long as there are only two viable parties and you need millions of dollars to run for office.

No.
We are moving towards a one world government.

It is a gov't of the VOTERS, by the VOTERS, and for the VOTERS.
If you don't like a person in office, VOTE them out.
