Is it a Democracy?

Actually, the Constitution makes it patently clear the President is the head of the Executive Branch, solely. It is completely unambiguous and clear. Have you ever actually read the Constitution Lefty? You can read can't you? Or are you using Dragonfly to post on here? Wouldn't surprise me.

So is Elon wrong about the USA being a democracy?

Not in the context that he is speaking in, dumbass.

If the judicial tells the executive that their actions violate the law/constitution, the executive is free to ignore the judicial opinion. It then becomes incumbent upon the legislative to correct the executive. The legislative is the peoples house, therefore the people are in power, thus a democracy

Yeah, we’re a republic. Like Russia, like China, like North Korea. Unlike those named countries, however, we are a democratic republic. So in that sense we are a democracy.

The current form of government in Russia is oligarchy.
The current form of government in China is oligarchy.
The current form of government in North Korea is dictatorship.

NONE of them are republics.

There is no such thing as a 'democratic republic'. A democracy has no constitution and no representatives. A republic has a constitution and representatives elected by the procedures laid out in that constitution and given only the authority specified in that constitution.

A democratcy is government by popular vote. There is NO constitution and NO representatives.
A republic is government by law (a constitution).
A dictatorship is government by individual (a king or queen, despite any title he gives himself).
An oligarchy is government by committee...essentially a dictatorship by committee.

• Republic: Rather than a direct democracy where everyone votes on everything, the U.S. is a representative democracy. Citizens elect officials—such as the President, members of Congress, and state leaders—to make decisions on their behalf.

@Grok

A republic is not a democracy. Redefinition fallacy.
There is no such thing as a 'representative democracy'. Democracies have no representatives.

The oligarchy YOU want is not a democracy.

Wrong again you brainless dunce. We are nothing like Russia, or Cina or North Korea. They do not have a Constitution that presumes our rights are inherent and limit their governments roles and power.

If you had gotten passed the third grade, you would have learned that much.

What a moronic argument. But alas, you are a Kamala voter. Nothing screams moron louder.

America has barely even pretended to be a democracy for a couple of decades now.

He completely ignores the Constitution and all State constitutions.

This is yet another lame thread trying to play word games and redefine The Oligarchy as 'democracy' and move on into claiming Trump is a dictator. It's just the old ignoring the Constitution, word games, and TDS again.

The US is a Democratic Constitutional Republic which distinguishes us from all the rest.

Trump and Elon are winning, You are not, It will be made clear when Trump gets to the people. He has suckered you into backing the super-rich who are creating a plutocracy, The Constitution and the law are impediments to their plans. They will overcome them as long as they can convince people to vote against their own interests. So far you have.

That's what the post said, little one, except that you garbled your own point. Those countries have constitutions also but ours, unlike theirs, establishes a democratic government.

 

[AProudLefty]

It isn't a democracy, dumbass.

No shit, Sherlock? Not like Ancient Greece was.

 

[AProudLefty]

What do you think he said, dumbass?

That the USA was a democracy, dumbass?

 

[SmarterthanYou]

Congress has no authority over the President's authority of the executive branch.
Neither does any court.

I said nothing about authority. I said it's their responsibility to correct it using their powers for checks and balances

The Constitution designed it so we have 3 equal branches. They were very clear that there was no imperial presidency. You should read it better. Trump has trouble with that too.

The Constitution is clear concerning the authority of the President. It's not even a little bit ambiguous. By the way, there's no mention of lower courts in the Constitution, did you know that? Most of the shit are government operates under right now is not even in the Constitution. The Supreme Court was never intended to lord over the president.

No.
The United States was never a democracy. There is no such thing as a 'democratic constitutional republic'. A democracy has no constitution. A republic does. To even say 'constitutional republic' is redundant. A republic is government by law (a constitution).

Remembers, Democrats are still trying to redefine the oligarchy they want as 'democracy'. Don't fall into their word games.

It's easy, I know. Democrats have been attempting this redefinition for a long while, but especially now, since they are infected with TDS.

Our Constitution is a unique document, that's for sure! There is nothing else quite like it in the world! It serves as a beacon of liberty and hope to all who seek it.

The tyranny of the Democrats seek to destroy this beacon, and crush the liberty and hope from the people, elevating themselves to be The Elite, demanding that all others must serve them.

Fuck 'em. Whether is shows as NAZI Germany, Stalin's communism, Mussolini's fascism, slavery in the United States, or the mobocracy of unelected bureacrats, it is the same.

And Trump is doing something about it. What a breath of fresh air!

Russia has no functioning constitution. It's current form of government is oligarchy.
China has no functioning constitution. It's current form of government is oligarchy.
North Korea has no functioning constitution. It's current form of government is dictatorship.

Greece was never a democracy.

Athens tried it, but a democracy is an unstable form of government. It dissolved into a dictatorship in a short time.

The United States was never a democracy. The last attempt to create a democracy within the United States was CHAZ in Seattle. It quickly dissolved into a brutal oligarchy. The police finally stepped in and demolished it. The filth was immense, requiring a dozen garbage trucks and guys with hazmat suits to clean it up.
