Thank you very much for this. I agree 100%.
I think that a firm understanding of how systems work correctly is essential. It is a necessary part of voter registration and participation. I've been tempted to post two essays here on how the House of Representatives works best -- with focus on the Democratic majority we just elected -- since an understanding of this reduces confusion on issues such as who should be Speaker, and more importantly, why that person represents the best option.
The cause of my hesitation to do so is that frequently, what I find fascinating strikes the majority of people as dull or tedious. (grin) So I appreciate your stating much of it in a concise way!

I completely agree. This is magnitudes worse than Watergate and that took a lot of time
