Another great argument for US parliamentary government

It’s the glacial pace of getting presidential appointments through Senate confirmation. Of course, Obama has some self-blame on tax issues there with some folks!

Seriously, though, things like this, the semi-undemocratic Senate, the corruption of unregulated Congressional campaign finance, short House terms and the “permanent campaign” may all be contributory to the waning of the American imperium.
