>Every time I learn something new about how the U.S. government is structured I shake my head a little. First-past-the-post voting of a single president that holds way too much power. A congress with life time based assignment that interpret a 200 year old document to their wishes to structure law. Case based law with uninformed juries, where the selection of the jury is optimized for maximum disinformation. It goes on.

There are problems with American government, but these are really not them. The only thing here that might hold water is the President having too much authority, and that's been a relatively recent trend.
