Democracy

I think one of the "categories" should be governance.  How is the government performing, and are there problems.

One problem I would like to see addressed is the former administration's drive to make the executive more like a monarchy than a democracy:  Signing statements that vitiate laws, secrecy that prevents any oversight, "legal" opinions that almost certainly violate constitutional guarantees, holding prisoners without resolution for years.

 

Will the new administration behave more like a monarchy or a democracy.
