hing because, The buck stops with him. Essentially, what Hobbes is saying is that any form of a Congress will simply bottleneck and never make any decisions quickly. Another example of inefficiency at its best is, again, is the U.S. government and its three branches. There are three branches to the American government, the legislative, the judicial, and the executive. Combined, the total amount of people these three branches contain is almost 560 people. The three branches also have checks and balances. These are limits on each branches power.
