Indeed, now we have a bunch of pre-selected individuals who rule us every 4 years and most of their reforms are immediately reversed when the next pre-selected individual comes to power. A never ending cycle of stagnation. The Revolution was a mistake.
Make no mistake, the figurehead (4/8 year "elected" mouth) typically has no say. None.
The senate is where the power is. It's why they stick around in there for 40 years or more.
