No, he does not. The problems arise in what is sometimes called the "good old boys" network, or "quid pro quo". Backroom deals are cut, set asides are put in place and "bridges to nowhere" are considered OK. Political parties, special interest groups like labor unions, the NAACP, NRA, Christian Right and lobbyists create wedge issues that mandate some form of cooperation. While Congress maintains the "power of the purse", that power can rarely be used to check Executive Branch excess without throwing the US into total chaos. No paychecks for janitors, Secret Service, clerks, the Armed Forces, the national debt, welfare, Social Security, FBI, highway contractors, defense contractors, etc., and the whole world comes tumbling down like a house of cards. The Legislative, Executive and Judicial Branches maintain their independence, but it is all in fragile balance.
