Well, in that case we also have the non-political Judicial branch to help with checks and balances...until that became politicized as well. So they've effectively taken over all three branches.If anything, Trump + Mitch have shown a fundamental flaw in your checks-and-balances. The Founding Fathers definitely didn't intend a single (unelected for the role) person to hold the whole legislative power in his hand.
