Distracted

Politico magazine has an article on Congress getting distracted.

Every time it seems the president has zeroed in on an issue, and appears determined to see it through — guns and immigration are just the two latest examples — he moves on to something else. And Congress, which isn’t designed to respond swiftly to national events and the wishes of the White House even in the least distracted of circumstances, simply can’t keep up.

Yeah, well... Congress is supposed to be different than the executive branch.  They're supposed to be a deliberative body.  As in... deliberate?  They're supposed to do things like pass budgets, debate laws, oversee government.  They're not supposed to jump o every current event and solve it, they're supposed to be deliberate.  Maybe if they would focus on what the Constitution tells them that they are supposed to do, rather than making it up as they go along, they'd actually get something done.

I'm just saying.
