The Framers set up the federal government this way on purpose. That is to limit the power of government. So that it cannot run roughshod over the people.How can government ever function effectively for the people if the sole goal of the party not in power is to totally gridlock and undermine the party in power at the expense of the people? Yes, both parties do it, but the Republicans have taken it to a new level - a dangerous level. They have practically made voting irrelevant.
The idea is for government to be limited to essential functions.
