Americans expect a lot from their Presidents. But the real problem is Congress.

• In the US, you need a super-majority in the Senate to pass any legislation.

• The Senate size is small. Combined with the super-majority requirement, it means that a single individual Senator has huge power. That create incentives for corruption.
