Are there too many "checks and balances" in the US political system?

There aren't enough. The legislative branch runs roughshod over everything else. The executive branch has become virtually powerless of late.

Because republicans are able to get so much down and just run rough shot over President Obama.

If only I lived in your land where that premise existed.

But I should add that I agree with this to an extent:

Not nearly enough checks on the executive and judicial branches, and way too many on the legislative branch
