The United States of America is not an estate of one man where a single person will be calling the shots but someone is put as President as place holder for God but watched over by hundreds of high ranking CIA members who would take him out by assassination at any time if need be and by consensus based on common sense which means over a capital offense or clear intent to intentionally and unjustly take the life of a human being, not only in the United States of America but anywhere on Earth. This is the least they could do because the US President is afterall the most powerful person on Earth with the nuclear codes. The job of the hundreds of watchers in the CIA top hierarchy is the most important in the country and in the world.


However, the President is the boss or chief slave. The worker under the highest level of supervision but with a lot of legroom too bounded by ruthless common sense. That is it.


The President is not pushed around but he is notified that he is under watch, to help him behave. If he has sex, the watchers will know, date nights, they will know and etc. So if in 1960, the US were the Western region of Nigeria, the feud between Akintola and Awolowo would not have happened since Awolowo resigned from the post of Premier by himself and Akintola the hitherto leader of opposition at the Federal house and deputy AG leader contested for a seat at the regional house of Assembly and then became the Premier. Awolowo became the opposition leader in Lagos while remaining party leader, the party continued to wax strong. If the Western Nigeria were the US, nobody would attempt to dictate to Akintola since he himself is a man of common sense and has proved himself but there would be watchers who can remove him without ceremony at any time and by consensus. It is by not submitting under Akintola that Awolowo failed and ruined the fortunes of the West. Awolowo was not better than Akintola in any way at all by any means and I must say if my Granddad, late Pa J O Lawanson or Pa Ajasin had gone to the assembly at Ibadan on the AG's ticket, they could have become the Premier as well as the most senior but someone like my Granddad late Pa J O Lawanson never contested elections. Not even once. He just worked for the land in the party as foundational organising secretary who ran everything, kept the records and approved funds, kept minutes of meetings and etc.


If my Granddad had become Premier, as a veteran headmaster and holder of British management degrees, he would not have allowed himself to be ordered around by Awolowo. No.


So, how is the US President kept under check?


See the issue of marriage equality and transgenderism which President Obama is in support of while many Republicans are against it on principle. A man marrying a man and a male declaring himself a female legally. Rather than try to order around the President, just sponsor a man like Caitlyn Jenner to upend everything. He will change to a female, get popular on that win modelling contracts, then someone will pay him to revert to male. A few instances like that will force the President to reverse his stance. Our gender is a destiny that can not be changed and marriage is between male and female!. Point noted.
