Yeah you are. What you said is incorrect; the President and Congress
do have a ton of power, that's why lobbyists/special interest groups spend so much money and time trying to influence them. What it sounded like you were trying to say is that anyone who gets to that level is
corrupted already by the time they get there, which I would agree usually appears to be the case these days. The two party system isn't helping matters either. The problem with taking all campaign finances and dividing them up equally among everyone running is that then you'll have 10 gazillion crackpots signing up to run, who aren't serious and just want to see the country and have some fun on someone else's dollar.
