Probably the right to nominate justices to the Supreme Court. The affect can last for 2 or more decades because a justice can be in the court for that long, well past his nominating President's term(s) ends. It's less hypothetical than the exercise of veto against a given bill, or the consequences for how a war is handled by a president.

the standard election, no. yet you seem asking approximately social gathering nominations. not rigged, yet there does seem something ordinary with regards to the Democrat nomination this time. via now i could have envisioned them to have made their negotiations and function a sparkling candidate. The Republican social gathering could have been in the comparable situation if Romney or Huckabee had had to make it that way. yet they had the experience to step aside understanding that McCain nonetheless could have been chosen. i certainly envisioned Guiliani to be in the race longer. not all Republicans are balloting for McCain nonetheless. I assume Ron Paul to run self sufficient and take some votes in basic terms as Ross Perot did. the priority the Democrat social gathering could have it truly is that there will be bitterness between the factions and a brilliant style of will probable vote for McCain if their candidate would not get the nomination. McCain in spite of each little thing is extra consistent with the Democrat social gathering than classic Republican suggestions.
