You can blame any president you want they can vote with a veto I guess? House of the People (all 435 of them) and the Senate have the power............It's sure fun blaming the one without the vote though?

I think presidents on both sides of the aisle do a lot more legislating than you a give them credit for, and therefore do actually have a vote. That’s not how the government was designed, but how it has morphed.
Back to our union, in theory, the MEC works for the LECs and the LECs have the voting power. Just like our government, it doesn’t always work as designed. Occasionally a tyrant and his henchmen get in power. And when it’s no longer working as it’s supposed to, people get frustrated because they don’t want to be associated with, or work/volunteer for, a person/system that’s off the rails. For example: the Chris kenney clown show. How many committee leaders bailed in the last 6 months? This is the most dysfunctional and misdirected union I’ve ever seen. Poor leadership is to blame. Hopefully step 1 (these LEC recall efforts) is fruitful. We need step 1 to be a success to get this ship back on course.

It’s probably like the old saying, “If you have to ask, you can’t afford it.”
