So does anyone think that any of the current candidates for president (from either or neither of the major political parties) is capable, if elected in 2016, of leading a government that would function in accordance with this pyramid of related actions?

If so, please tell us why.....

No. The political atmosphere is far, far too politically divided to expect a new President of either party to do anything that would get the government to change in this manner. The Presidency is only one of three separate and equal branched of government. It would require the cooperation of all three and that is not going to happen and it's unfair to expect or blame the President, of either party, for not making it happen.

Thanks for the perspective

In the current times of executive orders, regulations in instead of laws, the wild antics of the SCOTUS and other anomalies of government process - the equally weighted three branches is a matter of some debate.

I agree with your view of the capabilities of the current candidates and their ability to unite.

I am not sure on the Republican side as yet, but from the Democrats the person IMO who could best unite rather than further divide is Biden should he decide to run and get elected.

As to the blame game in Washington and the Potomac Two Step - neither is likely to cease any time soon

Correction : The Presidency used to be only one of three separate and equal branched of government.Unfortunately it's role has expanded greatly under Obama to usurp powers that WERE parts of other branches , mostly the judiciary but also the legislative .

I agree that the breadth of executive orders (not necessarily the number) and the fact that they are used to get around the wishes of the legislative branch (rather than to expand on their wishes or simplify execution) has been the norm during the current administration.

That being said - all the more reason that the a uniter (rather than another divider) is needed in the White House in 2016

The pyramid is a joke.  Did it come from Hitlers mein kamph?

It is easy to mock what you do not understand or when you have nothing meaningful to add to a conversation - here it looks like both apply

These principles are the basis of leadership and teamwork - how things get done

The politicians in Washington (Democrats and Republicans) give us much more of the latter than the former
