Current Events > Will the power of the Senator Majority Leader be looked at in the future?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Mitch does seem to have an insane amount of power. Hell, he can block anything coming to a vote in the Senate, even if it will get majority vote, simply because he doesnt like it. That power seems pretty extreme. Maybe in the distant future... this will be looked at? I know that isnt happening any time soon though

Mitch has a lot of power because he's good at shoring up the repubs and whipping them into line. Like him or hate him, he's effective as his job.

im p sure the majority leader would block bills that would prevent him from blocking bills

Is there a way around him? Im not as educated on this things so I legit dont know.

As long as he's the majority leader with the RNC behind him, he has a lot of leverage/ability to put pressure on repubs. by threatening to pull funding/run candiates against them when they are up for reelection, torpedo any legislation they want to put forward in the future, ect..

Nancy and the DNC do the same thing, they're just much less effective at it.

Noooooo that's how we have been doing things since the days of the founding fathers, so that's how we'll keep on doing things for the rest of eternity because the founding fathers were literally NEVER wrong!
