| That's part of why they are trying to take control of elections, which have (I believe) historically been the responsibility of each state. |

So we'll get a (from Trump's point of view) adversarial congress, so what, let's ignore them, what are they going to do about it? Looking forward to a military platoon defying orders and seizing the president, hey, all countries suffer through coups, about time this young democracy go through one! | | |

There was a years-long period in Venezuela where the country's traditional legislature met and conducted business under the leadership of the opposition party, but actual legislative power was held jointly by the Supreme Court and a secondary legislature that Nicolas Maduro set up. | |
