 The government will just keep on running. In that case, it was actually Wilson's wife who was largely running the government, just as some people are suggesting right now. Jill Biden, who is controlling access to her husband, maybe has a little undue influence. Regardless, I get the argument. Liberals have made it for a long time. The government's run by committee. The government's run by the staff. The president doesn't really matter. That argument would be more persuasive if everything weren't falling apart right now.
