The situation is not good right now...things were fine until the election of President Mel Zelaya and the latest signing of Alba. The country is now in unrest and there is talk of continuism in his presidency. There are rumors that he plans on removing Congress and sitting by force in power permenently. He is very unpopular here for his anti US stance and for his sell out to Venezuela, Bolivia, and Cuba. The population is talking a forceful removal of him.
Throughout Richard Nixon's presidency the Democratic Party controlled both Houses of Congress.
These three branches are examples of Baron de Montesquieu's theory of government.
