Is DJT being given extraordinary executive power?

@BohoBabe Was a democratic republic; it continues to be. America has never been a democracy! It has always been a republic with democratically elected representatives.

@jehova Republicanism is a form of Democracy.

@BohoBabe 1) democracy- a system of government by the whole population or all the eligible members of a state. Typically through elected representatives.

Its a republic. According to the dictionary.

@BohoBabe republic, form of government in which a state is ruled by representatives of the citizen body

@jehova But what is a "republican system of government" exactly?

It's a form of democracy where we elect our representatives, who in turn vote on policy.

@BohoBabe elected officials voting on their constuients behalf.

@BohoBabe again democracy is voting on your own behalf every time on every issue. By electing a representative to represent you it becomes a republic. Bc the person elected is voting on all further issues on your behalf.

@jehova What you're describing is Direct Democracy. Also a form of Democracy, but not the only form.

@BohoBabe correct the moment representatives are elected it becomes an indirect democracy thus a republican form of government there being representative is what makes it a republic. A direct democracy is a democracy an indirect democracy is a republic. Yes.
