It's peculiar to me that after Nixon, Americans just don't hold their presidents accountable for their illegal actions anymore. It seems like they've just given up; they no longer behave as if the president was the head of the executive branch. They behave as if he was a king with absolute power.

This is such a long-standing problem that people no longer even notice the crimes happening right in front of their eyes. It's just become normal.

Americans turned the presidency into a pop figure.

Our president should be boring and relatively quiet. Congress should be our focus, not the president.
