Think of it using Uganda. Imagine Mzee is President of Uganda, but during parliamentary elections, the opposition, say NUP, wins the majority of seats in Parliament. What happens? Mzee remains President. He was elected separately for a five-year presidential term. Winning Parliament doesn’t automatically remove him. NUP controls Parliament. They now have the numbers to debate government policies, scrutinise ministers, reject certain proposals and influence legislation. Mzee still runs State House. He remains Commander-in-Chief and retains his constitutional presidential powers. Government becomes politically complicated. The President has to deal with a Parliament controlled by Bobi😅 That’s essentially what’s happening in America. Trump is like Museveni in this analogy. Democrats are like NUP. Congress is like Uganda’s Parliament. The important distinction though, Americans vote separately for their President and their legislators. Winning one election doesn’t automatically mean winning the other. So, imagine NUP wins Parliament tomorrow, but Museveni still has three years left on his presidential term. That’s how you should understand the American situation. 😂
