Why are so many Americans enamored of the role of the presidency?

1. Citizens United ended the equal powers balance that made America Great

The Court basically handed control of the house to the wealthiest candidate. Congressional Representatives no longer resolve issues, pass laws, or respond to constituents. They only rag about the hot buttons that keep peoples attention. They hit the ground seeking funding for the next election the day they arrive in Washington. The vacuum of leadership, or any reasonable attempt to resolve problems, is left to the Executive Branch which is why we have most governmental actions by decree. The Court has always been a product of wealthy influence and they were just doing the bidding of their masters.
