Do you think there should be a vote of no confidence in the US? I think it would force the President to be accountable for his/her actions.

Hmmm. Interesting idea, but I don't think it would work. Since many people assume the president is responsible for laws and acts through Congress, who is really to blame? I mean, the people voted in the president, and they voted for the representatives in Congress, so a no confidence vote would be like voting no confidence for their own earlier choice. And, if we did have a no confidence vote, then what? Does the president get kicked out? Is he put on an improvement plan? Do we take away Airforce One and make him fly coach?

A no confidence vote is something done in a parliamentary government to remove a prime minister, or get a dissolution of government followed by a general election.

We had that with all the contacts made to Wahington regarding amnesty for criminals entering the country illegally.
Had not effect on the elite..it will come up again this fall.
No attention is given to the will of the voters
