    The ultimate end-goal of a president’s first term is to be elected for a second term, and we Americans have very short attention spans. Stuff like this that seems like it should obviously have been done as soon as someone with the will to change it comes into power is more politically beneficial to do in an election year. It’s a shit system, certainly, but even the (relatively speaking) “good politicians” have to operate within it.
