<p>The separation of powers and the three-levels of governance of USA are not threatened.  The checks and balances DO WORK.  A certain element of the legislative body has been hell-bent on sabotaging the current administration -- from the beginning!  There must have been some thought that the legis branch could stop the executive branch from acting in the best interest of public policy and the American people.
