If the Presidents stayed in their roles, the people would follow their congressmembers/senators if they thought things werent how they liked. It wouldn’t be a giant publicity show, because you’d have 435 people with a vote that’s equal, and 100 in the other house. Making 270 people popular is much harder, and when they can’t count for more than everyone else, their standing doesn’t “demand” as much respect.

Right now it’s the executive branch manipulating the rest, which is rediculous
